TO SHIP DAIRY COWS
FROM THE WILLAMETTE

N. Williamson, head of the Purity
Creamery at this place, and breeder
of purebred cattle, left this morning
for the Willamette valley, in oregon,
to select two carloads of dairy cows,
which will be sold to farmers in the
Moscow district Twenty COWS
shipped in a week ago from the coast
have already been disposed of.
Hundreds of dairy COWS have been
brought into Latah county in the past
six months, and general movement
toward dairying on limited scale on
the farms is apparent, due to the
low price of wheat, and the abundance
of forage crops. The tendency is not
toward large dairy herds, but toward
maintaining few cows on each
farm.

Lessen Wheat Acreape


The program adopted by the joint
committee was outlined as follows:
First, to develop the facts con-
corning the disappearance of mar
keted wheat, in other words, to find
out what becomes of it; how much
is consumed by human beings, how
much fed to animals and how much
used for seed
Second analyze the steps taken by
the department of agriculture during
the war to stimulate acreage and
mapping of the acreages developed
with view to reversing the process
back to a normal acreage
Third, develop accurate figures on
the sections in which readjustments
OF wheat acreage is possible, with
view to concentration of efforts on
these sections.
The joint wheat research commit
tee is composed of the heads of the
four national farmers organizations,
who are also directors of the wheat
council of the United States and two
representatives of the chamber of
commerce of the United States. Those

WOMEN or THE OLD SOUTH
Had by No Means Life Of IdIcness,
Since Their Domestic Duties
Were Many.

There Is still widespread conception
that the wives Of the ante.bellum
southern planters led life Of ease
and idleness. Such was far from the
truth, says a writer in the New York
Sun. Woman played vital part in
the old southern economic system, n
role which kept her busy and loaded
her with grave responsibilities.
She was the head Of the domestic
side Of the plantation life. Not only
did she supervise the hol~ewGrk Of
the mansion, but she had to look after
the servants quarters as well. AS for
the slaves, their food, their clothing
their health were under her care.
1t is related that distinguished
foreign diplomat was astonished, when
visiting Mount Vernon, to find Mrs.
Washington surrounded by negro girls
from ten to fifteen years old, busily
knitting stockings for the slaves OF the
plantation.
Thus was the sphere of the south
ern woman sharply defined. 1t was an
important sphere, so far as II weEt,
but it was dependent upon the plants,
ton system out OF which 1t grew
After the freeing of the slaves and the
industrial revolution which 1t pro-
duced, the women of the South found
themselves bereft Of the occupation for
which they We're bred.

Crescent Was Christian Once.

The national emblem Of the Turks
Is the crescent. Their organization for
aiding their wounded is called 1.-THE
Red Crescent" Under the crescent
they fought the soldiers of the cross.
Yet crescent us well as cross was real
ly a Christian emblem. For the cres-
cent was first used by the primitive
Christians of Constantinople as an en-
blem of the growing power of Chris
tianity. It was not until about the
year 1853, after the Turks had cap
tured Constantlnople, that they adopt
ed the crescent as their national en-
blem. The reason why has never been
satisfactorily explained, The crescent
Is essentially SYMBOL and yet the
Koran forbids the use Of all symbols
or Images in the religious ceremonies
Of the Turks. The crescent Is used
however, and none seem to object, or
recall its Christian origin and signifl-
canoe.
