Sunshine L. Needed

grain grew rapidly aPd garden and
truck crops made fair progress, but
corn grew very slowly and has poor
color. Most crops are needing a per-

development The frequent copious
showers while generally beneficial, es-
pecially in dry farm sections, were moi
an unmixed blessing. They softenec
the soil until grain is lodging in some
localities and they have caused deter

WHEAT PRICES
CAUSE FOR BIC
FARM MEETING
More Than 10 Million
Citizens Dependent on
Crop; Will Consider
Relief.

Washington.-More than 10 million
men. women and children of the u. S.
are directly interested in the produc-
ton of wheat. In consequence there
resulted the call for the, Chicago ma
tional wheat conference. Governors,
senators, and grange and farm asso-
ciation officials who have issued this
call point out that the dissatisfied
condition OF large portion OF our ag-
riculturai population today is largely
due to the price of wheat, which. as
measured by the cost of production
or by the purchasing power OF the
farmers dollar. is lower today than in
half century past.
Failure to bring relief to the farm
er from his present situation will have
a serious effect upon every other in
dustry and upon the consuming pub
lie, they contend, because permanent
prosperity of the whole nation depends
upon conditions being satisfactory in
the fields and on the farms that sup
port the nations physical life. A fair
price for wheat, they say, means pur-
chasing power to the farmer, smok-
ing chimneys for American factories
and a full dinner pail for. American
workers.
Bernard NJ. Baruch has made pub
lie a plan which he has worked Out
that he believes will enable American
wheat growers to market their crops
profitably and will save them from
situation which he describes as more
serious this year than it was last
when considerable dissatisfaction was
expressed by grain growers over the
prices they received for their pro-
ducts in comparison with the price
charged them for goods which they
bought. Mr.. Baruch's plan would call
for cooperative ownership by the
American wheat growers of large
selling concern such as the Armour
Grain company and would put the
farmers into the business OF selling
their product on a vast scale in tor
cirn countries. Mr.. Baruch issued
statement setting forth that his plar
had been offered purely as a sugges'
ton and that il had not progressed
beyond that point.

IDAHO FARMERS
NEED NEW WORK
Experiments of Great
Value Now, Dean
Iddings Says.

I'VE are paying particular attention
to experimental work in Idaho just
now" Dean (. J. Iddings of the Uni
versity OF Idaho agricultural college
said Wednesday while in Caldwell on
a brief visit to the university expert
ment farm here.
Farmers generally need help. We
are trying to meet new conditions that
arise with something that will help,
even if it is only in a small way. A,
present trihes must be looked to-"
Dean Iddings spoke in a Iaudatory
way OF the work that C. E. Wakeland
is doing at Parma in alfalfa weevil
experimental work. Spray, the dean
believes. is the only way the pest can
be controlled, judging from the results
that have been obtained at Parma. Mr..
Wakelapd is using practical methods
on farms. trying out all remedies and
Dean Iddings believes that from these
experiments something of tangible
value to farmers of this region will
come.
Northern Idaho farmers are elated
over the prospects for a bumper wheat
crop, the dean said. Rainfall has
been abundant and yields should be
large. Recen; declines in the price
OF wheat are causing nervousness
however, since the Palouse country is
essentially one crop region

Charles W. Leach. Majestic manager.
says that he is glad TO be quoted as
saying that the Son Dodger" is the
best Flash show" in all vaudeville

Coleman, who plays the leading part.

satisfy the most exacting vaudeville
and burlesoue demands. are less strik-
ing than the very gorgeous costumes
and stage settings.
According TO Mr.. Coleman. the seem
cry alone for one act. and a short pre-
lude scene. cost $1,000 and $4,000 of
that amount was paid to Homer Con
