INFLATED PRICE
AIDS TENANCY
Farm Renting Shows big
Increase Over
Country

Washington - Farm tenancy is
greatest where land values have been
increasing most rapidly, says the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Three is a considerably larger percent
age of tenancy in Iowa, for example,
than in Ohio and Indiana. This is
believed to be due to the way the land
values are made up, rather than to
their absolute amounts. In the South
west variations have been found to ex-
ist between the farm rentals paid by
white and by colored and Japanese
tenants, but it is thought these differ
ences do not actually indicate any
modification OF the fundamental laws
of farm rent. Negroes in the South,
it is pointed out, pay more rent than
white tenants because they usually
need considerable SUPERVISION from
the landlord. For this supervision the
landlord receives a wage or fee con-
cealed in the rent The Japanese are
required to pay more rent than white
tenants as a premium to set aside the
prejudice against letting farms to
them. They make up the difference
by putting in longer hours and work.

farmers ordinarily do.

WORLD POTATO
CROP DECLINES
But 1928 Production
Provides Plenty For

Washington-With the 1928 potato
crop of the United States reported 10
per cent below that of last year and
the European crop OF the current year
20 per cent below that of last year,
the eyes OF the world are naturally
turning toward the potato bin.
But the potato situation, says the
Trade Record of New York, is not
after all so serious because it happens
that the 1923 crop with which we are
comparing the prospective outturn OF
1923 was abnormally large and this
shortage of 10 or 20 per cent in the
outturn of America and Europe still
leaves the 1928 crop quite up to the
average of recent years. In the case
of the United States the average crop
in the decade ending with 1922 was
378, 900, 900 bushels, while the estimate
of the Department of Agriculture is
for 390,000,000 in the calendar year
1923. Our crop for 1922, 450,000,O00
bushels, was the biggest ever" Curl
ously, adds the Trade Record, the
birthplace OF the potato, South Ameri-
ca, is now one of the worlds smallest
producers OF that important factor in
world food supply.

In Agricultural
Districts

Washington-Nations child oror
no less than the food crops comes
mainly from American farms. says DR.
c. J. Galpin, in charge OF farm popu-
lation studies for the United States
department OF agriculture. OF the
S0.000.000 farm population as COM
pared with the same number of urban
population. the number of children
under 10 years of age on farms is
approximately 100000 more than in
the cities. DIR. Galpin points out.
There are approximately 100000
children under 10 years of age on
farms as compared with S.700.000 in
cities, having an equivalent total popu-
lation." DR.. Galpin says. Thus the
burden of supporting and educating
Young America falls heavily on the
farm population. After 10 years of
age. the disparity diminishes gradually
until the children reach 20 years of
age when the figures begin to show
more people of the producing age in
cities than on farms. We therefore
have the situation where farmers bear
the cost of raising and educating chill
dren and then deliver the finished pro-
duct to the city"
This condition is of long standing.

NEW RAILROAD
OFFERS MARKET
Direct Route to Califor-
MIA Proposed by
Ontario

California offers Idaho the logical
outlook for its farm products. Mr..
Mccall believes Los Angeles. grow
ing at a rapid rate. is spreading over
the best vegetable garden on Califor-
MIA. Boise Valley. he said. offers the
best field in the world for the devel-
opment OF that industry and Califor-
MIA is the logical market place. pro-
viding transportation costs can be
kept within bounds.
w. r. Mitchell OF Parma spoke
briefly on the freight rate problem.
Railroads. he said. are exacting too
much from farmer shipments and he
appealed to local business men TO as
sist in the fight to remove discrimin-
atory rates and obtain rates that will
make it possible for Idaho farming TO
continue.
Opportunities to obtain new rail-
road connection with California were
outlined by w. T. Mccall Thursday
before the Kiwanis club when he re-
lated the efforts OF Ontario business
men to obtain an extension OF the
Crane branch to Lakeview and Klam-
ath Falls. Mr.. Mccall believes that
cooperation with Ontario in the ef-
fort to obtain this new road will res
ult in an order from the interstate
commission to build the
road.
Such route he said. would shorten
the distance from this region to Cal
ifornia more than 400 miles. Con-
struction is comparatively simple. the
road traversing open coun-
try. Connections from Lakeview are
possible to Reno or to Klamath. ac-
cording to Mr.. Mccall.

Head Lettuce May
Find Good Market
Quality Can Improve
New York Reported
Frozen

Idaho head lettuce has not been OF
high quality thus far this season but
few days of warm weather to per-
init development of heads would elm
mate that difficulty. according to W.
T. Mccall. of the Idaho Producers
Union.
That the market can reasonably be
expected to go up is Mr.. McCall's
opinion as the result OF word received
Thursday that a freeze had ruined
remaining New York lettuce. Thus
far this season, Colorado head lettuce
has been better than the Idaho pro-
duct and has topped the market.
About 50 per cent of this years
crop has rolled at present, Mr.. Mccall
believes. Movement OF the remainder
of the crop depends largely on the
weather. Nights are too cold at pres
ent for the lettuce to develop but a
few days of warm weather would
bring out the remaining lettuce and
permit producers to dispose of practi-
cally the entire acreage.

MEM0R|ALF FUND
WILL BE SOUGHT
Steunenberg Appropria.
ton will be Utilized
Shortly, Plan

An Idaho memorial for Former Gov
ernor Steunenberg, victim of Harry
Orchards bomb, came to the fore
again Thursday when w. A. Coughan-
our of Payette, chairman of a state
memorial comittee. pledged activity to
raise $4,000 by popular subscription
to match a similar sum appropriated
by the state some time ago. Mr..
Coughanour discussed the matter at
the Kiwanis club luncheon Thursday.
According to the plan, a bronze
likeness of the distinguished former
Caldwell citizen is to be erected on
the state house grounds at Boise. In
addition. fountain. duplicate figure
or any other suitable memorial as
selected locally, is to be built here.
o. NJ. Van Duyn was former men,
ber of the board who, being now in
California, should be replaced by an
other local representative. M. II.
Gibbons is also a member of the state
commission, being secretary.
Plans for raising the $4,000 have
not been worked out, according to
Mr.. Coughanour An intensive CAM
paign will be undertaken, however,
he indicated Special stress will be
laid upon substantial gifts from pio-
neers who knew the former governor.
Northern Idaho, particularly the Occur
d'Alene mining region, is expected to
contribute generously to that fund.
Another plan for raising funds sug-
gested by Mr. Coughanour is to carry
it to the school children for small
gifts.
The money appropriation by the
state remains untouched. One attempt
to return all unused appropriations to
the treasury failed because OF this
one particular outstanding fund. ac-
cording to Mr.. Coughanour.

Uncle Sam Will Not
Ship in Cuban Sugar

Wash;ngton-Aftcr very thorough
investigation and discussion of the
subject, the Shipping Board has de-
oidcd that il is not advisable to adopt
the suggestions recently made to ii
and enter the Cuban sugar trade with
vessels now in the laid-up feet. This
decision was arrived at, not only be-
cause OF the very large expenditure
which would be required TO put sui-
hcient number OF ships in this trade,
but also because Of the very short
time remaining in which to do this.

POULTRY SHOW
PLANSPUSHED
JUDGE CHOSEN
C.. S. Brewster Will Pick
Quality Stuff; Dairy
Will Have Place on
Program

c. S. Brewster of Portland. an ac-
credited American Poultry association
judge, will judge fowls shown in Cald-
we'll at the third annual show of the
Gem State Poultry association to be
held here early in January. Mr.. Brew
ster notified R. T. HURT. association
secretary, of his acceptance by tele-
gram Wednesday. Robert Coates OF
Seattle, choice OF the board for this
position. found that he could not be
present on the dates set since he will
be in California at that time. Mr..
Brewster was named as alternate by
the association board of directors at
a meeting held last summer.
Premium lists for the show are now
in the hands of the printer and will
be available for circulation among po-
tential displaycrs at an early date.
Premiums will follow closely those
offered last year except for few in
creases in certain classes. The Cald-
we'll show. it is said, offers the highest
awards given at any poultry show
held in Idaho.
One of the features this year will
be a correlation of the poultry and
dairy business at the show. Efforts
are being made by Bob Brown and
w. H. Blunt to arrange a display of
high quality dairy cows and modern
dairy equipment to supplement the
poultry show. In addition, one of the
institute programs will be devoted to
a discussion of the correlation of the
dairy and poultry industries.
Mr. HURT, upon request from a
number OF Canyon county poultry
producers, Wednesday wrote to Dean
E. ]. Iddings to ask the addition of
an assistant poultry specialist to the
extension staff. Prem Moore will be
unable, Canyon county producers say,
to devote the time required to culling
work among hocks here. In order to
obtain this service and to insure con-
tinued improvement among Canyon
county focks, another man should be
added to the staff, producers here
believe.

their walks turned bottom side up
and smears OF soap plastered win

But il was a great night for the

in the evening were uncertain and
