$4,000 negro farmers of North Caro-
lima, Texas, and Virginia who raised
10000 acres of corn last year under
the advice of county agents, employ
ed comparatively by the department

colleges, obtained average yields OF
35 bushels an acre. The average for
all farms in these states ranged from

gro demonstrators planted pure seed
and about 5000 selected seed for their
1922 crop. All these demonstration
nlats of corn were harvested except
81 acres, which were "hogged down."
It is estimated that 20 per cent OF the
negro farmers in Virginia are follcw-
ing methods of growing corn taught

BIG CLASS WALK SANDS

The big ceremonial conducted by
the Dramatic Order of knights Of
Khorassan as the semi-windup of the

ceremonies and much merrlmenC.
The ceremonial was started off

in brilliant green uniforms, the par

streets of Moscow. Bringing up the
rear, was huge cage mounted on
wheels, in which was kept the will
ing victims for the evenings cere-
monies.
During the line Of march, the num-
Der in the cage was frequently added
to by brigands picking up timid Py-

potent which suggested many horrors
awaiting the candidates, was a fea-

FORMER BUSINESS MAN
WRITES OF HUGE SALES

Mayor Melgard is in receipt of g
letter from an old pioneer business
man of Moscow, Emanuel Kaufman
who is now connected with The EN-
pOrium, one of the largest depart
ment stores in San Francisco and one
of the greatest business concerns on
the coast.
Mr.. Kaufman states that last week
the firm conducted it's annual clear
ance sale, and that the receipts for
the week alone were $1,123 800. These
huge sales were made, Mr.. Kaufman
stated, even after all the other stores
had staged their big sales from ten
days to two weeks in advance for the
purpose of minimizing as much as
possible, the expected clearance sales
of the Emporium.
Moscow citizens will remember that
it was the Kaufman brothers who
started many years ago, what is now
the Davids' store, which was then
known as the Durham & Kaufman
company Later the same men star
ted the Emporium in San Francisco,
which has now grown to huge pro-
portions.

INTEREST Shown
in FARM Lands
LOCAL REAL ESTATE MAN SAYS
TOURISTS FAVORABLY IMPRESS
SED-PREDICTS ACTIVITY

Notwithstanding the fact that thu
crop prospects in the Palouse coun
try do not measure up to average
they nevertheless look good to visi
tors from the many less favored sec
tions of the country, and there is
reason to believe that the coming
summer and fall will see consider
able influx of land buyers
e. j. Armbruster, of the Veatch
Realty company, informs The Star
Mirror that during the past two OF
three weeks there have been many in
Quiries for farms in the district tribu-
tary to Moscow, and many strangers
have inspected the land, all express
ing themselves as being favorably
impressed. Tourists from the middle
states are numerous throughout the
Inland Empire, and number of them
have visited the Moscow district, ex-
pecting later to- return to some sec
tion of the west to locate. They in
variably say that the Palouse coun-
try is the finest wheat district they
have seen.
II believe that many of these peo-
pie will eventually locate here and
that not a few deals will be made
this year." Mr.. Armbruster said. ITO
people who are not used to seeing 80
and 40-bushel wheat, the present crop
looks good, and, by the way, l believe
it is going to yield much better than
has been expected. There is a notice
able improvement in the past two
weeks, and there are some except
ionally fine pieces of wheat. The men
who are looking over the Palouse
country with view to buying are as
a rule men who understand the farm
ing game, and realize that they would
not have to depend entirely on wheat
growing in this country. Those who
locate here will engage in diversified
farming and will prove to be valuable
building up the land and
making money.
81 am confident, from the numper
Of inquiries we are now having that
the next few months will see con-
siderable activity in the local real
estate market. Persons who visit this
section are attracted by the excellent
advantages which Moscow
enjoys, as well as by the farm land
and the time is coming when the dis
,rict tributary to this city will be
much more thickly populated than at
he present time"

POULTRY Feeding
EXPERIMENTS AT D. OF 1. SHOW
SKIMMILK HAS GREATEST VAL

Professor Parkhurst Of the poultry
department in the college Of agricul-
ture of the University of Idaho, has
just written an article covering ex-
pertinent work carried on during the
past year as to the most profitable
feed for poultry to be used by the
Idaho farmer.
It has developed out of the expert
ments carried out on the university's
farm in Moscow, that skimmilk is one
of the most valuable of all poultry
foods. 1t showed that the greatest

tein feeds investigated by the depart

parently aids the birds in the diges-
tion of their feed
Shows Greatest Profit

sale Of eggs in the pen where skim
milk was used extensively, were SO
pen, that the skimmilk had pur-
weight. "This shows" states the bull
letin, ''that dairymen have in poultry
a profitable market for their skim
milk which is in many cases a prob
lem to be given considerable atten-
ton
Meat scraps, it was found, gave
better average percentage product,
and produced more marketable eggs.
Meat scraps, it was shown, could be
used to advantage whenever heavier
eggs were wanted, or when only
limited amounts of skimmilk were to
be had
above all things, the poultry keep
ers should use feeds containing ami
NAL proteins if they expect to make
the greatest profit from their BIRDS
