The arrest of Russell Smith by
c. u. Larrabee, chief OF police
of Spirit Lake, last Saturday night
and Smiths confession led to the
jailing of four persons on burglary

were found to be the hiding places
of the stolen property.

STOP FOREST FIRES
Subject Of Direct Interest TO
All Citizens.

The week of April 22-a8 has
been designated as Forest Protec-
tion week and special effort will be
made thruout the country to bring
home TO the public during this
week the fundamental importance
to the economic welfare Of every,
community OF the prevention OF the
destruction OF our forests by FIRE.
President Harding has issued the
call for national observance for the
third time this year and Governor
c. c. Moore has responded with =
proclamation requesting the coop
Grafton OF the citizens of Idaho in
this program. The school OF
forestry of the University OF Idaho
has taken up the matter and is
sending out literature.
: The dependence of citizens in
every walk of life upon the forests
or the products of the forests in
one form or another can hardly be
overestimated. Next to agriculture,
the forest industries rank first in
community dependence and in this
western country even agriculture is
in large measure dependent upon
the forests because the effective
ness of the waters used in irriga-
ton is related to the presence of
forests upon the headwaters OF the
streams. The national importance
of the conservation of our. forests
is becoming matter OF general
knowledge, but the average citizen
fails to see his personal response
bility in the matter. 1t is this
personal responsibility of every
citizen which Forest Protection
Week aims to emphasize, for by
being careful with fire in the woods
and doing all in our power TO
prevent forest fires and cxtinguish
or report any which we may dis
cover, we can all help materially to
promote the prosperity Of our
country and state.
About three fourths OF all the
forest fires in this state are man
caused and therefore preventablc.
Uncxtinguished camp fires, cigaret
and matches, and careless brush
burning are among the more i'm
portant causes. The U. 5. forest
service, the state and the timber
owners are spending from one to
eight cents per acre per year for
the protection Of forest land and
much greater amounts are repre-
sented in the costs of fire fighting
and value of the resources destroy
ed, but no amount of money ex-
pended for protective organizations
will really be effective unless every
citizen cooperates intellectually
in seeing that no fires originate
through his carelessness or ignor-
ancc.

Ohio Farmers Grow 100
Bushels Corn to Acre

Extension specialists at Ohio State
university have compiled the expert
ence Of the forty Ohio farmers who
in the last six years have succeeded
in growing 100 or more bushels Of
corn to the acre on ten acres, The
tabulation shows that of all those who
have made the Hundred Bushel
club" 68 per cent planted corn fol-
lowing clover; 48 per cent MANFRED
the land; SO per cent used mixed fer
tilizer; 48 per cent used acid phos-
plate and 35 per cent used acid phos-
plate and manure. Fifty-five per cent
OF the successful contestants planted
their corn In checks, and 45 per cent
in drills; 65 per cent planted yellow
corn and So per cent planted white
varieties. The facts are presented in
detail In recent issue Of 'Timely
Soil Topics" published by the uni
versity One thing the figures show is
that to raise 100 or more bushels of
corn to the acre is more than q per
formance; it is excellent business.
High yields to the acre cut down over
head, and reduce the Dushel cost.
w. n. Gilmore. who broke all known
records last summer by raising 1874
bushels to the acre on ten acres.
cleared nearly 80 cents bushel.

First Requisite of Good
Grade of Strawberries

One Of the first requisites Of a
good grade of strawberries Is that
they shall be firm enough to carry to
the market Green berries also, must
be kept out Of the crates. If the fields
are picked carefully every day or every
other day, depending upon the rapidity
with which the berries ripen, no diff
Guilty should be experienced in obtain
ing berries Of a reasonably uniform
and proper degree Of maturity SO that
the shipper may approximate the dis
lance which they can be sent safely.
Varieties have characteristic appear
ances, sizes, and carrying qualities,
and only berries Of one variety can
properly be placed In a-box or crate,
unless the package Is marked plainly
"mixed varieties" or marked with a
statement as to the number Of boxes
1t contains OF each variety. There Is
very little occasion for a mixture of
varieties, as they are usually grown
In separate rows.
The multiplicity Of grade names
used in different sections of the coun-
try causes much confusion. Not
more than two grades are used, but
they are designated by such names as
"Fancy" and Choice" or Fancy and
Number One," or a. and 3D." or
"Firsts' and Seconds" 1t has been
the aim Of the bureau OF markets to
standardize names for grades, as well
as the grades themselves. SO that each
grade will mean the same in all sec
lions of the country and to all parties
concerned in the buying and selling
Of the product.
