get RESULTS IN
WEEVIL CONTROL
EXPERIMENT STATION WORKERS
HOPE TO ERADICATE ALFALFA
ENEMY-PLAN 1924 PROGRAM

Experiments on alfalfa weevil con-
troll, conducted at Parma by Claude
Wakeland, entomologist of the Uni
versity of Idaho experiment station,
have yielded definite results, accord
ing to an announcement given out
through the college of agriculture.
Mr.. Wakeland used for his expert
mental work the fields of several
farmers in the community, and on
these he tested and observed the re-
suits of several different methods of
weevil control. Among these methods
were early cutting of alfalfa, grazing
of the first crop with livestock until
late in the spring, creation of a dust
mulch by means of brush drag,
spraying with a liquid spray, using
varying rates of intensity, and dust
ing with poisons distributed by
specially constructed machines.
In addition, Mr. Wakeland has
watched closely the prevalence of the
parasite of the alfalfa weevil, which
appears to be exerting considerable
influence toward control in some Sec
tions of the state. The attack of the
weevil is over for the season of 1928,
and Mr.. Wakeland is now summarize
ing his work, and tabulating the re-
suits in such form that they may
be presented to the public.
The experiment station is now
planning program Of control for
1924, and for that reason is solicit
ing the cooperation of farmers in
weevil infested regions. Recon-
to the farmers will be
based upon the results of this years
experiments, and bulletins will be
prepared for distribution throughout
the state. These pamphlets will give
full information on the habits of the
weevil, application of control mea-
sures, and other facts of interest to
farmers in infested districts

WALLACE PEOPLE ARE
ROYAL entertainers

Carl Smith, chief of the Moscow
Volunteer Fire department, who, with
Mrs. Smith and Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Whitmore, attended the thirteenth an
nual convention of the Pacific Coast
association of Fire Chiefs, at Wal
lace, reports the meeting one of the
most successful in the history of the
association, and cannot say too much
in praise of the hospitality of the
Wallace people, and the harmony of
effort which marked their every eff
fort in behalf of their guests.
Mr.. Smith stated that there were
107 fire chiefs present from the wes-
tern states and from Canada, and
many of them were accompanied by
their wives. Spokane was repre-
sented by number of firemen and
by 28-piece band, which helped to
enliven the occasion.
One session was held on the Idaho
Montana state line, on the Bitter Root
divide, and one session in the Her.
cules mine, $500 feet underground,
and 10000 feet inside the mountain.
Much valuable information was
secured at the meeting, and one thing
Of especial interest was samples of
liquid treatment for shingles, and
also for paper and cloth fabric, which
makes them non-inflammable The
liquid is colorless and can be ap-
piled to crepe paper, or to lace cur
tains, without detracting from their
appearance, and does away entirely
with the fire hazard.
The meeting next year will be at
Pasadena, California.

" HUNGRY HEARTS" PRONOUNCED
NOTABLE SCREEN PRODUCTION

What has been pronounced one OF
the most notable screen productions
of the season, Hungry Hearts," Will
be the feature at the Kenworthy
theatre, on Friday for two days. This
is a perturbation of Anzia Yezierska' 5
volume of short stories of the same
title-another Of Goldwyn's Big
Twenty" which in itself is sufficient
recommendation.
Hungry Hearts " was written out
of the authors own experience, and
as result, say those who have seen
it, an amazingly realistic picture OF
New York life, with all its humor
and pathos, is presented.
E. Mason Hopper, who was respon-
sible for such previous Goldwyn sue
cesses ~ Hold Your Horses"
Dangerous Curve Ahead" The
Glorious Fool and the recently re-
leased Brothers Under the Skin"
directed Hungry Hearts with all
his accustomed skill, and his deft,
sympathetic touch is felt throughout.
Goldwyn gathered together superb
cast for this photoplay, including
Rose Rosanova, who has a strong, in
tensely dramatic role as the mother;
Helen Ferguson, who has recently
come to the forefront among the
most consistently capable actresses
of the screen; Bryant Washburn, long
a favorite with motion picture fans
everywhere; E. A. Warren, we'll
known character actor; George Sieg-
mann, Otto Lederer, and A Budin.

GOODING WANTS
EXTRA SESSION
WIRES COOLIDGE FARMERS NEAR
BANKRUPTCY PRICE
FAR BELOW COST
RniSp-IInitnd

Boise-United States Senator
Frank r. Gooding in a telegram sent
from his home at Gooding to Presi-
dent Coolidge, declared his belief that
the best interests of the United States
at large demand special session of
congress, at the earliest possible date,
to enact legislation fixing a price for
wheat In his message the senator
states succinctly why, in his belief,
the American farmer has been forced
to near bankruptcy almost directly
by federal legislation denying him a
return for his labor and for his pro-
duct. Prices Of everything entering
into the cost Of producing wheat and
marketing it, he says, were stabi-
lized, while the only attempt to boil
ster the price of wheat resulted in
keeping it down.
The senator's telegram said in part:
Unless something is done to give
farm products lower freight rates and
some government aid is given to the
wheat growers who were forced to
produce wheat at loss during the
war by the grain corporation fixing
the price of wheat below the costs of
production, conditions in the west
will become very serious Congress
through the food control act in sec
ton IA guaranteed to the wheat
growers of the country reasonable
profit. The federal control act and
the Esch-Cummings act increased
freight rates 65 per cent. Legisla-
tion passed by this government in
creased the price of labor on the rail-
roads LOG per cent, war prices of
everything the farmers were forced
to buy during the war made the cost
of production of wheat more than the
price fixed by the corporation"

WINTER WHEAT ACREAGE
REDUCTION PROMISED

Wsshington-(A. PA reduction
of 15.5 per cent, or 7,177,000 acres in
the acreage to be sown to winter
wheat this fall, was indicated by
twenty-five thousand reports from
farmers gathered by the department
of agriculture. If this reduction is
made, it would make the total of
sown acreage about 39,200,000 acres,
compared with about forty-six mil
lion last fall, Of which about forty
million were harvested, the rest be-
ing abandoned. 1t indicated that
Washington would be the only state
where more would be sown this fall
than last. The report showed that
Washington farmers intended sowing
105 per cent of last falls acreage,
and Idaho and Montana, 92 per cent
each.

the long haul (which is profit making
for the railroad). Cut out the ex-
pensive short haul, and the profit
making long haul could make the
same profit at less cost.
Second, it would mean greatly
increased use of waterways, which
would force a new competition on
the railroads, again decreasing
freights
Third, il would make for stability
of traffic, because the release of
thousands of freight cars from short
hauls would mean a greater ease of
getting cars for the seasonal de-
mands; fruit, grain, coal
With economic advantages such as
these, it is easy to understand why
the National Government thinks it
necessary to engage IN fostering
road development program, If
difficult to comprehend why it uses
so clumsy means as Federal aid,
when direct action, such rs built the
Panama Canal, is available.

HOW MAINTENANCE OF ROADS
SHOULD BE PAID
Sound Economics Only Basis For
Permanent Road

Tax the automobile and build the
road from the revenues" is a
principle which has been expressed
by the non-informed voter too many
times But education and sound
economics as enunciated by bankers
and statesmen has changed the cry.
Few who now concern themselves
with road financing, hut understand
that the right way to pay for a road
is either by road bonds based on
general, not specific taxation or
from current general funds
The experience of years proves
that the fees from taxed road
vehicles must be spent for mainten-
ance. Maintenance is always be-
ing used up; vehicle taxes are al
ways coming in to provide that
maintenance. To use the mainten-
ance fund for building more roads is
as uneconomic as the procedure of
the man who builds a house for rent,
and instead of using some Of the
rent to keep his property in condi-
ton, and insure it and paint it,
spends it for another house, letting
the first go to ruin, lie will end
in the poorhouse, and the county or
state which does not provide a
steady maintenance fund for road
upkeep will be bankrupt in good
roads long before the roads are paid
for.
It is gradually coming to be
recognized that snow removal is a
legitimate maintenance charge. All
highways which can be used but six
months Of the twelve cost twice their
price. To get the use Of an expen-
sive highway for three or four or six
months of snow time, by the
expenditure Of a small amount of a
maintenance fund, is only sound,
common sense.

EFFECT OF GOOD ROADS ON
RAIL AND WATER
Reduction of Freight Rates Follow
Good Roads.

The United States operates 259,-
600 miles Of railways, almost 10000
miles Of interurban electric rail
roads, and $4,000 miles of inland
waterways and canals. All of these
transport facilities depenl directly
and entirely upon a certain mileage
of good roads, without which they
could not function.
The total good road mileage in the
United States is about 100000 miles.
The total road mileage is nearly
three million. If the three million
were as good as the three hundred
thousand, what would it mean TO the
other means Of transportation?
First, it would mean a reduction Of
freight rates on steam lines, because
the freight rate is a product Of the
short haul (Which is expensivel, and

St, Portland, Oregon, is another who
has found the Tanlac Treatment a
safe and sure road to health, strength
and working efficiency. He says:
"F'or several years never felt right,
had no energy to speak of and felt
played out all the time. My appetite
was very poor, and even the little
did eat bothered me with gas and indi-
gestion so bad it seemed to me to do
me very little good l was under
weight, too, and was bothered a great
deal with my kidneys.
"But Tanlac certainly has put me in
fine shape. 1t not only gave me a
good appetite, but toned up my stom-
ach and got me to feeling fine in every
way. l am full of strength and
energy, never feel run down and play
ed out any more, and have gained con-
siderable weight. After what Tanlac
has done for me L couldn't say any
thing too good for it,"

gists. Accept no substitute. Over 81
million bottles sold.
