Smoke No Help to
Protect Orchards
Tests Show Method VIII
Not Stop Fruit
Freezing

Washing;on-A smoke cloud Is OF
small advantage in retarding radia-
ton OF heat in an orchard on frosty
nights. This conclusion WIS reached
by the weather bureau OF the United
States department OF agriculture after
a series of experiments at Edgewood
Arsenal. Maryland Results showed
that while the smoke cloud decreased
the rate OF cooling about one-half. it
had little effect on the air tempera-
ture. probably because OF an enter
change between the air under the
smoke and that outside. The expert
ments confirm previous conclusions
that the most efficient and economical
method OF frost protection is to heat
the lower layers OF the air by burn
ing some cheap fuel.

FREIGHT FIGHT

Long and Short Haul
Controversy Come Up
Again; Gooding Backs
Movement

Boise-As a result OF a resolution
adopted by the United States senate
submitted by Senator Frank r. Good
ing Of Idaho there has been SER
les of hearings held in various cities of
the United States dealing with the
facts contributing to what is known
to regulate commerce.
The fourth section states that the
railroads shall not charge more for
the short than for the long haul,
mission may in special cases authorize
lower rates for the longer than for the
shorter haul.
This section of the interstate COM
merce act has ben a thorn in the side
of the intermountain territory since
the event OF railroad construction in
the west.
Pacific coast ports that were much
less than rates to points in the inter-
mountain states making it impossible
to establish any profitable industry.
Likewise. products OF the soil are
haulded from Pacific coast to eastern
points at a lower rate than is charged
the intermountain shippers.
1t is because OF this condition that
Senator Gooding through the United
States Senate asked the interstate COM
merce commission to make COM
plete investigation OF the causes for
granting lower rates to the more dis
tant points.
This inquiry has brought out that
the carriers are more or less the pawn
OF the larger shippers in the middle
western and pacific coast cities.
Through this pressure the intermoun-
tain territory has to face continually
the transcontnental rate situation.
The fight of the intermountain ship
pers is not wholly against the rail-
road but rather agains influential
shippers and commercial organiza-
tons of such cities as Portland
Seattle, Tacoma, San Francisco. Chi
cavo. Omaha. Milwaukee and mid
die western cities that are seeking
preference in rates because OF selfish
advantages to themselves. These are
the conditions the intermountain rate

to meet.

Former Coyote Takes in

New York; Writes of
Game.

Bill Spech,. former College OF Ida
no football player and now a freshman
at the Annapolis academy. saw the
annual Army-Navy game at New York
this year. In \ letter written to his
father. Fred Specht. he graphically
describes the day and game as fol-
lows:
The big day is over and neither the
Army or Navy are defeated for they
played 10 90 tie yesterday before a
crowd of about $4,000 people on a
very muddy field and in drizzling
rain. Ii was the most wonderful day
have had or expect to have for
some time. We left about 4 80 in the
morning and got to Jersey City at
about 1900, from there we took a
ferry and crossed down the Hudson
river to New York and il was a great
sight. Part of the Atlantic feet was
in n Y. harbor and they went wild
when we passed them and we went
wilder yet. they fired salutes and blew
sirens and hoisted signal penants read

harbor and the crew and officers were
all on deck waving at us. New York
City is certainly a little world in it.

From the ferry we could see the
sky scrapers. including the Wool

about 80 and marched up Broadway
and over to the Polo grounds. Of
course we had the right of way, being
$500 strong and the congestion OF
traffic that was penned up on the
streets. waiting for us to go by made
me think all the automobiles and
people in the world were piled in that
place. 1t was raining slightly when
we reached New York and little
harder when we. got to the Polo
grounds.
Each midshipman had to wear rub
bers and when we marched on the
grounds there happened to be a little
muddy place and the rubbers stuck
but we went on and the field was just
thick with rubbers, after we entered
the stands about a dozen Jews with
quincy sacks went out on the field and
gathered them up and they had about

COUNTY BUREAU
FACES SHORTAGE
Of WORK FUNDS
Organizations Future
Undetermined; Farm
ers Appeal to Business
Men for Help

Plight OF the Canyon county fran
bureau was aired last Thursday at
the regular meeting OF the Kiwanis
when about 25 representative farmers
from all districts in the county ap-
pealed to Caldwell business men to
lend financial and moral support to
the farm bureau. Efforts are now
being made TO reJuvinate the farm
bureau organization. to reinance it
and to employ a competent county
agent. This position has been vacant
since the recent resignation OF A. |.
O'reiliy who left to take up work
with the English concern handling
the Boise Valley apple pool
Finances for the farm bureau are
in rad shape. it is said. Hope OF
employing a new county agent de-
pcnds entirely upon the financial show
ing the organization can make in the
immediate future About $500 is re-
quired to carry this organization
through 4 years program.
Speakers at the Thursday Kiwanis
club luncheon pointed out that fail
ure OF the farm bureau to function
next year would be little short OF a
calamity. Reference was made by
several speakers to the alfalfa weevil
which. it is said. will cause more dam
age an dgrcater loss to the country
next year than the farm bureau or
: ganization can possibly cost. And
yet without a farm bureau to direct
the fight against this destructive pest,
the loss will certainly go unchecked
Sid Tucker Of Notus. reviewing this
situation declared that the fate of
the hay industry in this country de
pends upon intelligent effort in con-
trolling this pest and that failure to
continue the farm bureau may mean
the extinction OF alfalfa production
in Canyon county.
Various speakers touched upon
other phases OF farm bureau activities.
That the development OF the dairy
industry in Canyon county depends
upon the bull association work re-
entity launched by the farm bureau
was the declaration of several farmers
who are engaged in the dairy business.
Such a movement cannot be continued
without farm bureau direction and
support. Impending work for the
poultry association is another big
thing facing Canyon county farmers
where no farm bureau makes the work
doubly hard. it is said.
S. f. Yaggy. for years leader in
Canyon county farm bureau work.
made a strong appeal for continuation
OF this county organization. Produc-
ton and cooperative marketing. the
latter now actively fostered by the u.
s. department OF agriculture, are para
mount farm bureau fields, he pointed
out. Progress in agriculture is prac-
tically dependent upon farm bureau
activity. he said, as was shown by the
fact that many farmers fatiened hogs
exactly as their fathers did 40 years
ago. taking lS months where but SIX
is required.
Cooperation from the kiwanis
club to insure continuation OF the
n q
farm burcIu was pledged and Presly
Horne club president, announced that
a special committee would be selected
to work out program to help farm
bureau boosters.
