by Speaker John Dahl.

Madison-Gov. John J. Blaine

FARM BANKS TO
Be OPENED MAY |
CREDIT AVAILABLE TO FARMERS
GROWERS MUST ORGANIZE
ASSOCIATIONS

WashingtOn-The federal farm loan
board announced that May 1 had been
fixed as the date for the formal open
ing of the twelve new intermediate
farm credit banks, all of which have
been chartered and will be prepared
to consider applications for loans as
provided under the new agricultural
credits law. A uniform discount rate
of 1a per cent has been fixed by all
of the banks, guaranteeing to far
mers credit at not exceeding per
cent with the possibility of slightly
lower interest charges.
With the announcement that the
governments part of the program for
extending new loaning facilities to
the farmer is ready, the problem now
appears to be one of organization
among money. Certain provisions of
the law require that the producers
individually shall not obtain funds
direct from the loan banks but must
first group themselves into one of
several kinds of organizations through
which the producers obligations may
be rediscounted and passed on to
the credit banks. Among these or
ganizations are cooperative market
ing associations, livestock loan COM
panies and agricultural credit cor
EACH Will Certain llIu1Id-
tions and restrictions upon it's powers
to handle paper for the farmers.
The farm loan board is optimistic,
though Commissioner Lobdel said
the development of the system neces-
sarily would be slow during what they
term the experimental stage. The
commissioner predicted the new faci-
lities would be readily grasped and
the opportunities presented quickly
accepted by those for whom they were
designed.
Proper warehOuSing appears to the
farm loan board as the chief problem
the cooperative market
ing association. This, however, does
not seem to be of an insurmountable
character.
Farm loan board members have in
the credit bank officers and
the system personnel generally to
give every sort of advice and render
any assistance within their power in
starting the loaning machinery in
operation.

DISCUSS FOREST
TREND TONIGHT
OPEN MEETING OF SIGMA XII TO
OPEN FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK IN MOSCOW.

An open meeting of Sigma XII, ma
;tionaI scientific fraternity, is to be
held this evening in the university
hut at the University of Idaho, at
which time a topic of Importance
concerning forest protection and For
est Protection Week, which is being
observed throughout the northwest,
April 23 to %, will be disguised. The
subject of tonight,s discussion is
The Trend of Forestry" different
phases of which will be taken up by
Professor C. E. Behre, DR.. Henry
Schmitz, and DR.. F. G. Miller, all
members of the University of Idaho
school of forestry faculty staff.
Few people realize the Importance
sof giving better care to Idaho's timber
and by proclamation signed by
Governor c. G. Moore, the present
week was set aside as one during
which time special emphasize should
be laid upon conserving the forests.
More than two -fifths of the entire
area of the state, or approximately
-23 100000 acres, is forested, and from
this area flow the streams and rivers
which supply the great irrigated
areas of southern Idaho and western
Washington In Idaho the lumber in
,dustry ranks second only to agricul-
ture as the chief source of prosperity
!. to the state. 1t offers employment to
, sixty per cent of the entire indus
trial population and represents an in
vested capital of $50,000,00O and pays
taxes of more than 100000 each year
Educational programs will be held
throughout the state during the week,
at which special speakers will stress
the great need for preventing destruc
ton of the states timber through
negligence and -carelessness.

idaho PARTY Will
BACK HENRY FORD
STATE PROGRESSIVES AT BOISE
MEETING, FAVOR MANFUCT-
URER FOR PRESIDENCY

Boise.-Henry Ford, the celebrated
automobile emancipator, may find
comfort in the fact that third or FRO
greSSive party leaders in Idaho-at
least some of them-loOk upon his
aspirations for the presidency with
favor. Twenty-Five of them gathered
in Boise this week and uneQuivocally
declared themselves for Ford. They
called upon the Detroit manufacturer,
who is supposed to be a democrat,
to accept the nomination for TIE
presidency on the progressive Iarty
ticket in 1924.
The conference Vas held III re-
sponse to a call issued by Frank E..
Johnesse, chairman of the progress.
i've party state central comlnittee for
Idaho. The conference adopted the
following resolution:
Adopt Resolution
"Be it resolved by the state ceutral
committee of the progressive PARTY
that though we admire Henry Ford
as a great industrial leader and as an
example well worth following in lis
management of his railroad and coal
mines, his fair treatment of labor
and his determined stand against
Wall street monopoly, and doubtless as
a successful business man would
make a successful chief executive, at
this time we believe any presidential
boom is premature; we do not know
if Mr.. Ford would be presidential
candidate on our platform or upon
what platform Mr.. Ford would be a
candidate. To elect a presidential
candidate is not within the jurisdic-
tion of the state central committee,
but in accordance with progressive
principles the people must speak
through legally called state con-
vention in 1924"
The state committee thus tempo
rarily sidestepped in official form
direct endorsement of Ford for presi-
dent, but the members of the COM
mittee and other progressive party
leaders present made it clear from
the standpoint of themselves individ-
ually that they believe Ford to be
the ideal man for president, provId-
ing, of course, that he embraces the
principles of the progressive party.
Many of the speeches given by them
at the conference were laudatory Of
Ford and his work. The conference,
however, could not pledge the party
in Idaho directly to Ford so the
leaders said.
To Attend Convention
F. F. Samuels, twice canddave for
governor of Idaho, once as a ronpar-
tisan Lacquer and the second time as

IDAHO TO GET
U. 5. ROAD HELP
S1,25O10OO COMES TO THIS STATE
MORE THAN HALF FOR
MONTH.

Confirmation of $2,5OO,OOO of fed
eral aid road work in Montana, pre-
viously approved, was the outstand-
ing feature of the final conference OF
United States good roads bureau and
forestry department officials and Ida
ho and Montana highway officials
says Sundays Spokesman-Review
Southern Idaho work, aggregating
more than $50O,00O was approved in
addition to about $753,O00 in northern
idaho approved on Friday. The con-
ference closed Saturday afternoon.
In addition to confirming the Mon
tana work, the federal officials dis
cussed at considerable length gen
eral plans for federal aid on forestry
roads in Montana, considering sug-
gestions where such roads should be
located and methods of financing.
No actual jobs in the national forests
in Montana were approved, however.
Ask Bids May IA
Howard Holmes, state highway en-
gineer for Montana, stated that bids
would be asked May IA on the Indian
reservation and post roads and the
work will be pushed throughout the
season. These are gravel surfaced
roads and the entire work approved
probably can not be completed this
year. The government pays 100 per
cent of reservation roads costs. The
government pays So per cent and the
counties AZ per cent on post roads.
w. J. Hall, commissioner of high
ways for Idaho, represented that
state in the consideration of federal
aid construction work in the south
ern part of that state this year.
No contracts were let at the con-
ferences here, although contractors
were in evidence around the hotel
lobby They began negotiations with
the state engineers as soon as the
executive sessions ended.

NORTH LATAH FOR
MILK C0NDENSARY
FARMERS ENTHUSE OVER PRO-
POSED PALOUSE PROJECT
LUMBER BUSINESS GOOD.

Farmers in northern Latah county
along the PalOuse river, are deeply
interested in the proposition OF a
milk cOndenSary, for which a move
.ment has been started by the Palouse
chamber of commerce, with the Pot
latch Lumber company and the peo-
pie of the Potlatch district generally
cooperating, according to a state
ment made Monday to The Star-Mir-
ror by w. D. Humiston, assistant
general manager of the Potlatch Lum-
ber company, who was in the city
on business.
Some 40 business men from Palouse
visited Potlatch, Saturday evening,
Mr. Humiston stated, and met with
farmers Of the district and with
officials OF the company, explaining
the plan in detail. Considerable en-
Gthusiasm was created end assurances
of support in the movement given by
all present
The Potlatch meeting will be fol-
lowed by q series of meetings at vari-
Gus points within radius where it
would be practical to deliver the milk
to the condensary, in order to interest
the farmers. It is understood that a
big eastern concern has expressed
definite interest in the proposition,
desiring to establish a condensary
somewhere in the west, and the only
stipulation made Is that farmers
pledge the milk from 1000 cows. 1t
is estimated that a plant such as
would be required, would involve an
investment of 100000.
The establishment Of a milk con-
sdensary would add greatly to the
prosperity of the farmers in the nor
thern part of the county and would
solve the problem, the farmers be-
lieve, of those who have, in the past
two or three years, been unable to
make wheat farming pay The dis
trict along the Palouse river, with
excellent pacturage in the summer,
and with large production of forage
crops, would be an excellent feeder
for such an industry.
Mills Run Two Shifts
Mr.. Humiston stated that the lum-
Der business has been fairly good
this spring, with heavy shipments
east. and the Potlatch Lumber COM
pany is operating two shifts at both
the Potlatch and Elk River mills. The
greater part of the product OF the
two plants is shipped to points east
Of Montana, much of it going to New
York, Philadelphia, and other eastern
cities, where there has been unusual
building activity. Only about four
per cent of the company's output, he
said, is marketed in Idaho and about
another four per cent in Washington.
There has been noticeable let
up in building activities throughout
the east, Mr.. Humiston said, due
largely to the advance in labor, and
the advance in the price Of some lines
of building material, although the
price of lumber has remained sta
tionery
Mr.. Humiston says there is every
indication of a good crop in the Pa
louise country this season, and fair
price, and believes the coming fall
will see a greater measure of pros
perity here than has been experienced |
in several years.

LEWISTON CIRCUS
AROUSES Interest
HELEN PARSONS TO ENTER
POPULARITY CONTEST IN DOKIE-
SHRINE CELEBRATION.

At least one Moscow young lady
will enter the contest for the selec-
ton of a queen of the big Dokie-
Shrine Sircus to be given in Lewis
ton by the Omar A1kayami temple OF
the D.O.K.K. and Calam temple of
the Mystic Shrine, May 10, II, and IL,
Helen Parsons, University of Idaho
coed and popular Moscow girl and
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. F.
Parsons, having signified her inten-
tions today to take part in the con-
in this part of the country with the
exception of Lewiston, Asotin, and
Charleston, Wash.
The Sircus is being given by the
two orders in conjunction, and three
days of merrymaking are promised to
all who attend. A large six cylinder
sport model Buick automobile will be
given away during the Sircus, and
numerous other attractions are be-
ing offered to make the occasion the
jolliest that either of the two or
ganizations have ever sponsored.
Offer Popularity Prize
A prize of $1O0 is being offered
together with all travelling and other
expenses during the three days of
the Sircus ands-the browning as the
queen of the Sircus to the young lady
getting the largest number of total
votes cast in the contest, and Sec
ond prize of $50 and all expenses to
the girl receiving the greatest num-
ber of votes in the community having
the largest combined vote as com
pared to the combined vote of any
other community.
Each ticket to the Sircus carries
with it 100 woes in the popularity
contest, and local Shriners and
Dokies are anxious that several Mos
COW girls enter the contest. Moscow
boasts of a large number of mem
bers in both orders, and candidates
from here will stand an unusually
good chance of winning the popularity
contest. Tickets for the fete are to
be sold at $1.O0.
Band Here Tonight
A similar affair was given last year
by the Dokies, and this years show
will be even larger than that of last
year, as the two orders are uniting
their efforts to make it the biggest
amateur hit that Lewiston has ever
seen. The DOkie temple band of 25
pieces and patrol team is scheduled
to give a street concert and parade
in Moscow tonight at O'Clock to
advertise the production, and local
Knights of Pythias are looking for
ward to the occasion, as the band has
established an enviable record
throughout the northwest.
