WARN AGAINST POOR
GRADE ALFALFA seed

Several large impOrtations of alfal-
ia seed are being dispersed in this
country. 1t is entirely possible that
some of this alfalfa which is Tur-
kestan will reach Idaho, says c. B
Allison, field agronomist and state
seed commissioner.
This variety is not suited for the
intermountain country. 1t is slow in
making growth after the first cutting
and does not yield with the native
grown common or grimm. The color
of the seed is dull and has a light
brown tinge.
Aside from the variety the weed
seed content is most Objectionable.
Russian KNAPP weed is invariably
found in the Turkestan - alfalfa.
size of bull thistle seed. The weed
is a perennial and as persistent as
the Canada thistle or morning glory.
In 1920 there were 100 car loads
of Turkestan alfalfa which reached
the Pacific coast.
Timely publicity checked the sale
of this seed in Idaho. However,
few growers purchased seed to plant
and today have their fields taken with
this most nOxious weed. Four of
these growers practised clean cultiva-
ton all last summer without complete
eradication but hope to kill the Rus
sian KNAPP weed this summer.
Saving a few cents a pound on the
seed proved a poor system of prac-
ticing economy.
This year the four growers herein
to have submitted samples
to the state seed laboratory, Boise,
Tor analysis in order that they would
know that the seed is suitable for
planting. Surely the growers are not
going to take loss similar to the
above, in order to truly realize that

This is an off political year and one
of the rare occasions when he has
been able to get away from congress
and Washington to visit with the
:" home folks" From all that can be
learned of his plans he intends to
make the most of 1t and to rub shoul-
ders, shake hands, and consult with
his constituents. 1t is also probable
that during the time he is in the
state he will take advantage of the
opportunity to enjoy vacation fish
ing and hunting in the mountains,
something he has been unable to do
for a number of years.
Following the arrival of Senator
Borah in his home state a conference
will be held at which, it is under
stood, plans will be discussed for the
political campaign next year.

TRY men Held HERE
FOR ASOTIN CRIMES

The two men now serving 90 days
sentences in the Latah county jail on
vagrancy charges, who gave their
names as Dan Sullivan and James
Mcdonald, will be taken to Asotln,
Washington, within the next two or
three days to answer to charges there
concerning the robbery of the Asotln
bank some time ago, and numerous
other robberies in the vicinity which
the two men are thought to have had
hand in.
Sheriff Wayne Bezone, of Asotin,
left for Boise Saturday to secure
extradition papers for the two men,
and upon his return from the ldaho
capital, the two men will be removed
from Moscow to the Washington city
for trial. The Latah county sherlHs
office when asked this morning con-
cerning the statement that Governor
Moore had issued the papers for the
extradition of the two men held here,
stated that no official word of such
action had been received, but that
they expected definite information
soon. The two men have since their
arrest here nearly month ago
strict silence, and nave
refused to give any hint as to their
past records.
1t has been deduced, however, that
both men have served several terms
in prisons throughout the country,
and officers from over the entire
northwest have been working the
past few weeks trying to connect
them with the many spectacular safe
breaking jobs throughout eastern
and northern Idaho.
They were arrested when found in
of a large quantity OF
and other safe-crack-
ing supplies which they had hidden
under a Northern Pacific Railway
warehouse in the western
mart of town

v. E. HURD and FRED
JOHNSON ARE INJURED

W. E. Hurd groceryman at the Far
mers' Union store, and Fred Johnson
were severely injured Sunday after
noon, when the automobile which they
were driving overturned on the high
way, seven miles this side of Genesee.
Johnson had his collar bone broken
and Hurd, who was pinned under the
car was injured in the chest and had
one leg badly bruised. While he is
practically unable to move because of
his injuries, the doctors believe there
are no bones broken. Two other men
were in the car and escaped without
injury.
The accident was caused by the car
jack-knifing when one of the front
wheels struck some loose dirt. The
car turned completely over, landing
bottom side up and throwing all the
men clear but Hurd, who was held
down by practically the entire weight
of the car. The car was but slightly
damaged

SUNDAY RAINFALL
RECORD FOR april
ONE AND 6S-1OO INCHES IN LESS
THAN "a HOURS-ADDS MATERI-
ALLY TO CROP PROSPECTS.

The rain which fell in the Palouse
country Sunday and Sunday night
made a new record for April, accord
ing to F. l.. Burkhart, weather obser-
yer at the University of Idaho. The
rainfall, in less than "a hours, was
one and 6S-100 inches, while the aver
age rainfall for the month of April
is one and 59-100 inches, Mr.. Burk-
hart states.
The rain commenced falling about
9:30 Sunday morning, just as the
Moscow women were preparing to
leave for the various houses of wor-
ship in the city, clad in new Easter
gowns and hats. The downpour was
steady throughout the day and we'll
into the early morning hours Mon
day. The temperature was higher
than is usual during a Pa1ouse coun-
try rain, and there was no wind.
The rain can easily be ranked
among the Palouse country's million
dollar rains. Following some two
weeks of dry early spring weather, it
soaked the ground and will
give vegetation an early start. While
there was plenty of moisture in the
ground, the surface had begun to bake,
hindering the growth of the wheat
which was just beginning to make its
appearance above the ground. 1t is
many years since the Pa1ouse soil
has been so thoroughly soaked as it
now is and the crop prospects are
looked upon as being the finest in a
number of years, the grain having
come through the winter in excellent
condition

Miners INCREASE
DURING PAST YEAR
WAGES ALSO INCREASE, STATES
ANNUAL REPORT OF STATE
MINING INSPECTOR

At the close of 1922 there were
$500 men employed in Idaho mines
an increase of 1860 over the 1921 aX-
erage, according to the annual report
of Stewart Campbell, state mine in
spector. Printed copies of the state
officials report have just been re-
ceived at his office.
The wages these 6100 men received
was the same as for 1921 until Oc-
tober 1 of last year, when an increase
of from 25 cents to so cents a day
was granted exclusive of shovelers
and surface men, however. After Oc-
tober 1 the wages varied from $3.75.
for mill swampers and surface labor
ers, to 81 for carpenters.
Accidents Decrease
Accidents to men in the mining in
dustry during 1922 materially de-
creased under the number reported
for 1921, and Mr.. Campbell attrib
utes this decrease to the installation
of new saftey devices in the various
mines and the spirit of cooperation
between the operators and workers
to keep down accidents.
A considerable portion of the re-
port, which consists of more than
each of the A counties of the state.
The name of each company operat
ing in each county is given, together
with all statistical information rela-
tive to the company Most of the in
formation relates to the financial or
ganization of the various companies.

the inspectors report, were confined
to 18 counties of the state, as fol-
lows: Adams, Bear Lake, Caribou,

IDAHO STATE TAX
LEVIES DECREASE
PEAK WAS 77 CENTS IN 1918.
NOW 45 CENTS-BILLION
VALUATION.

Boise-State tax levies in Idaho
have been steadily decreasing since
1919 when they reached the peak.
In that year the levy for state pur-
poses was II cents on each 500 OF
valuation. In 1920 the state levy
was reduced to 60 cents, in 1921 to
55 cents, and in 1922 to SO cents.
The figures for 1923 are not yet
known because the valuation will not
be determined until the state board
of equalization meets in August but
based on the 1922 valuation and max
ing allowance for all recognized OBJ
legations of the state, it is estimated
that the levy of 1923 will be about
As cents on the $1O0 valuation.
The peak of Idaho's assessed val
uation during the past 13 years was
reached in 1921 when the estimated
taxable wealth of the state just
crawled over the half billion mark to
$502, ,3O5, 5,903.81, according to a state
ment issued Thursday by George
Lewis, state budget officer.
The statement compares the valu-
alton, the money raised for state pur-
poses and the state tax levy for the
past Is years beginning with 1910 and
ending with 1922.
In 1910 the states valuation was
little more than 5,000,000.00. 1t
varied up to 1921 when the peak
was reached and in 1922 it dropped
to slightly more than $4S0,OOO,OOO
The year 1919 saw the greatest amount
If money the state has ever raised by
taxation. 1t was $3,767 1852 and
he levy for that year was n cents on
he $100 valuation.
