UNIVERSITY ENROLMENT
SHOWS 20 PERCENT JUMP

Enrolment for the first semester
at the University of Idaho has in
creased almost 20 per cent over that
for the same time last year, figures
from the registrars office show. Stu
dents are still coming and by October
Is, the last date for registration, 20
per cent increase can be considered as
very conservative figure to indi-
cate the growth of the student body.
Classroom and laboratories are con-
gested and systematic arrangement
of recitation and lecture hours is nee
essary. Acquisition of the factory OF
the Idaho National harvester company
as shops for the college of engineer
ing has released considerable floor
space on the campus proper but it
will not be until the new science hall
is built that the highest degree of eff
ficiency can be attained.

RAINS CAUSING Bean
FARMERS SOME CONCERN

With the exception OF the bean
farmers on the ridges in the southeast
part of the county, and lew Wheat
farmers in the Palouse river district,
the light rainfall and the cloudy skies
OF the past twenty-four hours nave
been welcomed, as rain was needed TO
put the ground in condition for the
fall seeding, which promises to be
little later than usual. Practically all
the threshing machines have complet-
ed their runs and pulled in in the Mos
cow district the wheat harvest is en-
tirely completed, with ideal harvest
weather throughout.
On the ridges in the southeastern
part of the county, tributary to Pot
latch, canyon, where the bean crop al
most rivals the wheat crop in lmpor-
lance, the rain occasions some worry,
as the harvesting of the bean crop is
just started, with largest acreage
since 1919, and with falr yleld
Many crops are in the stack, wnlle
others have not yet been pulled, and
would be seriously damaged II the
wet weather should continue for any
length of time. There are plenty OF
bean shelters in the district, and
week or ten days of good weather
would see the crop taken care OF
AS a rule little trouble is experienced
in getting the bean crop saved before
the rains begin, but in 1920, which is
remembered even by the wheat farm
ers for the great amount of rain
which fell during the latter part OF
August and in September, the bean
farmers suffered a heavy loss, and
since that time they view with con-
siderable concern any indications of
rain before the crop is threshed the
beans being much more susceptible to
damage from rain than the wheat.

An unusual degree of nervousness
was reflected in market operations
with the situation calculated to pro
duce erratic price changes. Owing
to the rapid advance and the high
cost Of raw material to producers of
goods. there has seldom been so much
uncertainty over the ability of the
trade TO manufacture and pass on
textiles as exists now. Jobbers and
converters are engaged in worsing off
goods on hand, waiting for new bust

scale of prices.
Entirely aside from uncertainties
surrounding the outlook for the com

by the very small stock both here and
