CONTEST
Decline to Discuss Reports
of Legal Action

torneys for the seven Hill heirs
opposing Louis w. Hill, chairman
of the Great Northern railway, de-
clined to discuss reports that they
were planning to bring legal ac-
tion soon against Louis w. Hill to
set aside his ownership of North
Oaks Farm, historic country estate
near here established by the late
James J. Hill.
1t also was rumored that the
seven heirs to the Mrs. James J..
Hill estate opposing L. w. Hill
also will seek to invalidate his
mothers gift to him of $75O,O0 in
bonds and to force his payment Of
additional inheritance taxes.
1t will be contended, according to
the reports, that because Of her
illness in January, 1920, Mrs. j. j.
Hill was not competent to dispose
Of her property and that her gifts
of the farm and bonds to Louis w.
Hill were invalid. The seven OPP
posing heirs will seek, it is said,

maintains that it is duty, that it
means better health and that bread

pointed out tnat the use of bread
and other wheat products means the
use of other farm commodities pro-
duced in this ection of the country,
such as butter, cheese, meat, nta-

if other sections of the country
have been able to increase the con-

raisins, this country can increase
the use of it's main product, wheat
During the war, he said, Ameri-
cans were exhorted to eat less wheat

cultivated a taste for "food frills.'
Actual investigation, he says, shows
Americans are eating less wheat

F., have shifted from agricultural.
courses to engineering, science, medi-

farm parents feel that it is an abso-
Lutte impossibility to scrape together
the necessary funds to send their
children to college. The young peo-
pie themselves feel that any occu-
patton rather than agriculture is
worth while.
With the situation as it is today,
those boys who are able to obtain a
college course in agriculture will
enjoy peculiar advantage ten or
fifteen years from now. 1t is not
necessary that all Of our farm. boys
have a college education, but it is
splendid thing if there can be
few college graduates farming in
every community. We trust that
those farm families who can afford
it, will urge their sons who finished
high school last spring, to enter the
agricultural college this fall When
these young men are ready to farm
in earnest for themselves, the agri-
cultural situation will be far brighter
than it is today.

FLETCHER ORDERS TWO
CARLOADS OF SODATOL
Latah County VIII Use Large Guam
tity of New Explosive

The first order for the new left
over war explosive known as sodatol
to be made from the State of Idaho
and what is thought to be one of the
first orders collected in the North
west, consists of two carloads for the
farmers of Latah County made up OF
individual orders assembled by
County Agent o. S. Fletcher.
Sodatol is mixture Of T. N. T.
and nitrate of soda, and is shipped
from the United States Government
storage depot at Dupont, Washington.
The farmer is charged the cost Of
placing this explosive In cartridge
form, $500 per hundred weight, is
charged Is cents per hundred pounds
for packing and shipping and must
pay the freight from Dupont, Wash
ington, to. his unloading point. The
sodatol costs the Idaho farmer laid
down at his railroad station from
8 to 9 cents per pound, depending
upon the destination.
The Latah County order is remark
able in the fact that no single order
exceeds 1000 pounds while some Of
the orders from individual farmers
are for so pounds. A total of 1873
farmers participate In the two car
loads and these farmers reside in Ia
different communities out of the 26

WHEATS NOT
ADAPTED TO IDAHO
Wheat Growers Should Standardize
On Varieties of Proven Value

During the summer the department
of agronomy has received man.
samples of grain for identification
In many cases, the name of the var
iety was desired and information al
to its adaptability and probable yield
Among these specimens were a mum
Der of varieties of poulard wheat
indicating that certain growers have
grown them because of their good ap-
pearance due to their large heads
The poulard wheats are closely re-
lated to the durum wheats, but
usually produce a soft grain of poor
quality. The grain of these varieties
can generally be identified because
the kernels are thick, bumped and
are larger than those of club wheat
There are many varieties of poul-
ard, such as the Alaska, Titanic and
Clackamas, that have been sold over
the United tates at fabulous prices.
Others have been brought from
LulOpSdh COuAtllCO anu lhCl CdOSu LII
distribution.
While many extravagant claims
have been made in regard to yield,
bunt resistance, hardness, and stiff
ness of straw, little attention has
been given to the possible CONNER
cial use of these wheats. The Fed
eral Grain Standards do not recog-
nize these as commercial wheats, be-
cause of their inferior milling quail
ity. This results in a heavy discount
on other varieties if mixed with these.
AS matter of fact, their poor mill
ing quality combined with low yield
ing ability make them practically
worthless. None Of these varieties
have a place in Idaho agriculture.
Wheat growers should standardize
on those varieties which have proved
their value in each locality. It is
then possible to reduce the mixtures
of commercial grades to a minimum,
thus benefiting in better prices to |
LII producers in a locality.
