One Dollar and Thirty Cents

| les of life for those dependent upon
him, is able to realize just one dollar
and thirty cents profit on his endea-
vors that have extended over a period
of months?
| Is it any wonder that the agricul-
tural population Of the middle west
| is discouraged? Is it any wonder
that the few dirt farmers who have
managed to get into congress have
formed a farmers bloc" in an at
tempt to better the condition of them
selves and their colleagues? Is 1t
any wonder that all the current talk
about industrial activity and prosper
ity reacts as so much gall on the pal
ate Of the farmer?
The case Of Farmer Nelson, typical
of hundreds of other instances thru
out the middle west, has occurred
within the past two months, his dol
lar and thirty cent check bearing the
date of January II, 1928. In fact,
there are many unfortunate farmers
who will testify that Nelson was I'M
usually lucky in realizing any profit
at all on his shipment.
There is something decidedly wrong
with the system of marketing which
makes a carload of potatoes look like
a dollar and thirty cents. Is it fair
that the farmer had to take all the
loss resulting from poor market?
Is it fair that he should get only a
dollar and thirty cents when all the
other agencies having hand in the
were able to pluck their
full toll? Is it fair that the profit
which he received on $4,000 pounds
of potatoes would hardly pay for two
bushels of the same potatoes If he
tried to buy them back at the retail
price?
The sooner the people of this
country realize that the present ag- |
ricultural situation is all wrong, the |
quicker we will achieve that pros
perity we are all talking about and |
praying for. We looked to congress |
10 bring about some relief in the ses-
sion just ended, but all congress Sue
ceeded in doing was to stage the most |
successful filibuster ever conceived in

HOW MANY DUST PARTICLES
IN THE AIR WE BREATHEl

In connection with the solar radia-
ton work of the Weather Bureau
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, daily count is now being made
Of the number Of dust particles in the
atmosphere at Washington. To make
the count, the air pressure within the
dust counter is suddenly decreased,
causing line Of dust to be precipi-
tated on glass, where the particles
are counted with a microscope have
a magniication of 1000 diameters.
On quiet mornings as many as 5000
dust particles per cubic centimeter
have been counted, but on clear morn
ings following precipitation the num-
Der drops to 150 Most of the parsi-
cles appear to be extremely fine min
erals or organic matter from the
earth's surface, although some I'M
consumed carbon from smoke, gyp-
sum, and calcite from building oper-
atoms, and diatomaceous material
have been observed. Undoubtedly
there are many particles which, while
large enough to act as nuclei for con-
densation, are too small to be seen

flying power of 1000 diarheters.

YEAR 1922 WAS GENERALLY
WARNER THAN AVERAGE

The year 1922 was the sixth con-
secutive year with temperatures gen.
orally above normal east Of the Rocky
Mountains, except that 1920 was
slightly cooler than normal from the
Ohio Valley southwark and in the
west Gulf districts. The annual
means ranged from 1 degree to de-
grees above normal in all sections
east Of the Rocky Mountains, but
west Of the mountains they were
slightly below normal in most dis
tricts.
The first three months OF the year
were abnormally cold in the more
western States, and February was es-
pecially in the Northwest, where the
monthly means ranged from de-
grees to Is degrees below normal.
March, April, May and June were per-
sistently warm from the Mississippi
Valley eastward, although tempera-
lures, as rule, were only slightly
above normal in the Gulf districts.
Unusually warm weather for the sea-
son was experienced during March in
the CentraI-Northern States and in
May form the Ohio and middle Miss
issippi Valleys northward. June was
uniformly warmer than the average,
except at few points in the North
west. July was the only warm-sea-
son month, with temperatures below
normal in most sections Of the coun-
try, although August was unseason-
ably cool in the middle and south
areas. September and Octo-
Der were warmer than normal thru
out the country, except in a very few
limited sections, principally in the
South and far West. November was |
Uniformly cool west of the Rocky |
and the average Deem
yer temperature was below normal in
he more northern States from the
Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. Other
wise these months were warmer than
he seasonal average.
While the monthly mean tempera-
ures ran quite uniformly above nor
nal throughout the year in most sec
ions, maximum temperatures were
ot unusually high at any time and
o prolonged hot spells were exper-
enced. No previous high records
Tere broken in any sections of the
ountry.

At the January convention of the

of the United States Department of
Agriculture presented an interesting
exhibit on the European corn borer,
the Japanese beetle, pea aphis, and
other truck-crop insects. Many re-
preventative Gamers who had en-
countered insect problems in connec-
ton with the production and preser-
walton Of their crops were greatly in
terested, gaining a better understand

ment offers the various specialized
agricultural interests of the country.

This essential factor being under

so sympathize the work that maxi
mum results may be obtained.
In this connection I should like to
see a concerted move made by all

A point especially that want to
make is the fact that Idaho has dem
onstrated beyond the shadow Of q
doubt that she can produce COWS Of
the very highest productivity, and
that cows here give higher yields than
in the middle west.
From one of the national cattle
clubs, with headquarters in the east,
has come word to the following gen.
eral effect:
Eastern and middle west breeders
acknowledge that the same COW will,
in this part of the country idaho and
vicinity, produce 20 to 25 per cent
more than in the middle west or east"
Our certainty of hay and grain
crops, our climate In which cattle
thrive luxuriously, all combine to
have established in the state num-
Der of remarkable herds. Some of
our registered stock has been sold
out of our borders and animals Of
world championship kind have been
lost to us, and have gone to build up
regulations in the middle west, and
in some of our adjoining states.

PORK EXPORTS DECREASE IN 1922

Exports of pork and pork products
from the United States were less in
1922 than in 1921, according to re-
ports of the United States Department
of Agriculture. This decrease was
due to smaller shipments Of bacon
and lard. Exports of bacon amount
ed to but 170919 short tons, compared
with 2O7,67S tons during 1921. Lard
exports amounted to 3S3,475 tons,
compared with 434,447 tons. Exports
of hams and shoulders, however, in
creased, totaling 144,S07 tons, COM
pared with 1862 tons in 1921, and
exports of picked pork amounted to
1894 tons, compared with 1921
tons during the previous year.

E. L. REYNOLDS HERE
SAYS: DAIRY MUST COME

| The following is an interview will
E. l.. Reynolds, Of the Idaho PoweI
Company, who is boosting the dair!
industry in Idaho:
| When we separate the farming
business from gambling and lift thu
farmer from the uncertain realm o
speculation into that Of sound invest
ment, the first step has been taker
toward state prosperity and progress
1t is my firm conviction that the
cow is to lead up to this happy con.
dition. By intimate contact through
Idaho with men who know from sue
cessful dairying experience what they
are talking about, it is clear to me
that we have been placed by nature
in a most enviable position for the
successful promotion of a great dairy
ing business.
We have not made so great pro-
gress in this direction as some of our
more eastern states, but that is due
to our newness. Much of the time
up to the present has been consumed
in breaking in new lands. 1t has
been pioneer period and but recent
ly have the farmers been getting
their feet on the ground" as 1t were.
Population has been comparatively
small and wealth not as great as we
should like and altogether a proba-
tionary condition has been experience
ed.
But back of 1t all stands the rock
ribbed fact that the states superior
soil, water and climate, and our grow
ing appreciation of these superlatIve
productive factors. This is leading to
ever increasing optimism for the fu-
ture of farming in general, and most
specifically of dairying.
There is much talk today from
many quarters of the necessity for
more farms in Idaho being devoted
chiefly to this business, and many
lefinite moves in that direction are
,eing witnessed.
1t is the one big thing before Idaho |
1t present. In way 1t may prove |
blessing, that until now we have
moved slowly, for I'VE may profit by
he BOOu Ddu cAPCii ChSOo VI OIhOi
tates. That is to say, we may forge
head readily and do within the next
wo or three years what other states
ave done in ten or fifteen. For in
lance we should we able to place
urselves almost Immediately upon a
roper and lasting cooperative basis.
'ersonally, 1 believe that the great
st part of past failures in so-called |
have been due to an ig-
ORANGE of, or disregard for, the es- {
entail factor Of true cooperation,
'hich Is the fact that the other fell {
WIS success is just as essential as c
UT own. When each member Of an
ssociation is as much interested In
ON Jones' prosperity across the road I
8 in his own, then the greatest law t
nown to mankind Is placed in opera v
on and will succeed.
The world is fast waking up to the v
.ct that selfish interest and greed r
ave gotten us nowhere, and cooper n
ion of a genuine sort is at hand. v
