days of the State college with $50
in his pocket and the determination
to gain an education, then MIXED
COWS at 121a cents per hour to make

ture, while today the college Of agri-
culture has upwards of 5000 students
Mr.. Hunter told of passing through
the site of Pullman some 40 years
ago on his way with his family from
the Willamette valley of Oregon to
the Palouse country Pullman was
then an unknown quantity, this To-

CHAMPION IN 3O5-DAY DIVISION
GIVES 562 POUNDS OF
BUTTERFAT.

T.. J. Killen of Boise, has developed
another state champion in his COM
paratively short time in the pure bred
business, according to official records
from the Holstein-Friesian associa-
ton of America, issued through the
dairy department of the University
of Idaho. His latest record breaker
is Aggie Philly Burke Quoque (348-
698), whose production of 15,8197
pounds of milk and 561.65 pounds of
butterfat, equal to f702.06 pounds of
butter, gives her leadership in the
305-day division for full aged cows.
The COW was started on test at five
years, one month, and II days, and
carried her calf 1876 days of the test
period.
This record forces into second place
Idaho Lily Butter Girl DeKol, owned
by the University of Idaho, former
leader with 14,219.1 pounds of milk
and 507.47 pounds Of butterfat. The
new champion was bred by John

Killen's small but class herd was in
the Junior four-year-old class, ten

WHEAT in IDAHO
FEDERAL REPORT SETS FORTH
CROP AND LABOR CONDITIONS
IN STATE.

Indications point to a 9,6OO,OOO-bu
.shel crop of winter wheat in Idaho
this year, according to the April ]
outlook forecasted in the April crot
report issued by julius H. jacobson
Idaho statistician for the United
States department of agriculture
This is on the assumption of aver
age abandonment of acreage and
average influences on the crop until
harvest
The report states that the 1922 crop
totaled 8,658,000 bushels and 1O,152,-
900 bushels were harvested in 1921.
Acreage abandonment due to winter
killing is not estimated until May L,
each year. From 1915 to 1922, the
annual average has been So per cent.
1t was lowest in 1919 when two per
cent of the planted area was aban-
doned, and highest in 1917 and 1920,
when 10 per cent of the acreage failed
to survive winter conditions.
Seeding Snow Covered
As is usually the case, April 1
found much of the states winter
wheat still snow covered the report
continues, with uncertainty existing
as to the true condition of the CROP"
g The past winter has not been Sc
we're and winter killing should be
less than average. On April 1, the
crop had a condition of 81 per cent,
the average for the past 10 years on
April 1. The crop improved 10 points
from December /, 1922, to April 1,
1923.
" The United States winter wheat
forecast is 572,317 900 bushels, against
6,2O4 900 bushels last year; 6OO,-
$4,000 bushels in 1921, and 565, ,9O5,-
900 bushels the past five-year aver
age Its condition is only 752 per
cent compared with 1874 per cent a
year ago and 81 per cent April 1, 1921

Swine Industry Grows
The report of the statistician also
says that from all over the state come |
reports of increased interest in the
swine industry. The number of
breeding sOWs has increased IL per
cent over last year and five per cent
over the usual number on hand April
1, which would indicate healthy in
crease in the spring pig crop. At
tention is also called to the survey
made last December through the
rural mail carriers which showed
hat the number of litters farrowed
in the fall of 1922 was 33 per cent
greater than in the fall of 1921 The
annual January 1, 1928, survey found
