SAVE THE ALFALFA

The question of quality in alfalfa
hay throughout this section has
never had the proper consideration.
Il has been one of the staple crops
since the first settlers came to this
valley, yet quality has taken second
place in its production. II has gen
orally been a matter OF quantity in
measurement regardless Of quality.
quality reserves a better price for
fruit, and vegetables grain and all
other crops, why should hay be
bought at one price regardless Of
quality, and now since the country
has become infested with alfalfa
weevil the matter has become still
more serious. both aS to quantity and
quality. for this reason, some have
been enclined to discontinue in its
production, this in the judgment of
our best farmers wouid be a serious
mistake, an artielsl the Idaho
Farmer of May 1st;< should be quite
convincing in this regard, and par
ticularly so since the Idaho Al
falfa Milling Co. have established a
cash market at this place Alfalfa
weevil is not nearly so hard to con-
troll as orchard pests and at much
less expense. Some have been fairly
successful by cultivating at the
proper time, however the method of
spraying has proven to be absolutely
sure.
We are informed the Alfalfa Mill
ing Co., as a matter of fairness to
the farmers, and the purchasers as
well as themselves, contemplate grad
ing hay, or purchasing it according
to quality. 1t will therefore be-
hoove the growers TO thoroughly cul-
tivate their fields and give proper at
tention to the control of weevil.

WATER SHORT
ON RANGE

H. o. Musgroye left Tuesday morn
ing with load OF provisions for his
sheep camp located on Crane Creek.
He reports plenty of feed in the
upper country but water condition
very serious. Greeks that usually SUP
ply water until July 1st, are now
dry, a number Of sheep men are
compelled to leave the spring range
where the feed is in abundance due
to the heavy growth last fall, and
go further hack where water may be
obtained. He says, unless va get
later rains. the water condition is
going to be a serious matter with
many of the stock men. who depend
on small creeks for water.

LISTEN TO THIS

Ii might be interesting to know
that ten cars Of butter and ten cars
of eggs were shipped from Payette
during the month of March and April
which does not include the eggs that
went out locally to Caldwell for the
Association. The ten cars of eggs
were shipped by c. H. Bowman &
Son which brought approximately
SS0,000.0O of outside money into
Payette The ten cars OF butter
from the Farmers Cooperative
Creamery Co, brought s1o5, 100000.
This amount S1S5.000.00 in two
months distributed among the farm
ers of this community will certainly
help some.

COOLING MOTH SPRAY"

-s1o1 ~
The season for the Calyx spray is
near at hand.
This is the most important Of all
sprays for codling moth control.
1t is generally considered that
more than One-haIf of the total OF
worms enter the apple through the
Calyx cup.
There IS oniy one way to stop
these worms and that is by thor
oueh Caiyx spray, applied as soon
as the petals have dropped and be-
fore the cups have begun to close.
II Is necessary 10 use more spray
for this application than for the cover
sprays because ecery calyx cup
should be filled The fruit is so
small at this time that it is difficult
to do il unless all parts OF the tree
is thoroughly sprayed so as TO be sure
that every apple is covered.
The recent heavy frOsts have des-
troyed many blossoms and some
growers are hesitating about apply
ing the calyx spray, feeling that they
have not enough fruit to pay for ap-
plication. Before definitely decid-
ing to not put on the calyx spray, the
growers should take a ladder and
carefully examine the tops of the
trees. because often when an
examination from the ground
indicates no crop or small
one, in the tops of the tree is found
a good set of fruit, then the grower
wishes he had sprayed but too
late''-the calyx worms are in and
the crop seriously injured or ruined.
Frost kills no worms and with
light crop there will be more worms
per apple, than with large crop.
The spraying of a large tree viii not
cost to exceed ten cents. How maCy
apples will it take to equa! that
cost?
IF we have scale from San joe
Or other pest, be what it may,
Let us spray.
While We Iaze around they're
feedin'
While we're swearin, they're a
breedin'
Plenty poison's what we're needin'
Let'us spray.
Lay a stock of Arsenate lead in,
But don't forget the Oilin'.
Let US spray.
Into crevices go huntin'.
Stop the hoppers' cheerful jumpin', R
What we've got to do is pumpin'. .
Let US spray.
Pupa. chrysalis and millers,
Fungi mixed with caterpillars,
Let us spray.
Be they plump, or thin of flaccid,
Bring TO bear on them the cold,
That's the way to make 'em placid.
Let us spray"

IN NDU STRIAL
ACCIDENTS TO
WORKING MINORS

Seven thousand, four hundred and
seventy-eight industrial accidents 10
young workers under q years of age
occurred in one year in three States,
according TO a study just completed
by the Children's Bureau of the Z
S. Department of Labor.
Thirty-eight of these accidents re
suited In death and 920 in partial
disablement for life.
Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New
Jersey were the States included in the
study. The cases OF industrial acct.
dents to minors were secured from
the files of State Industrial Commits
sions and Accident Boards and were
only those in which compensation had
been paid; that is, in Wisconsin, acci-
dents causing disability of more than
Z days duration; in Massachusetts and
New Jersey, accidents causing dlsa-
bility of more than 10 days duration.
The smallest number Of accidents
and the lowest accident rate occurred
In the case of children under 10.
Each Of the States studied had at
tempted TO protect children under this
age by prohibiting them from employ
ment in certain occupations, chiefly
in the operation Of the more danger.
Gus machinery, which is the source OF
greatest accident hazard to the young
worker.
Children of 16 and II were pro.
hibited from some employments ~
Massachusetts and Wisconsin but In
all three states were permitted to
operate many of the dangerous ma
chimes.
Accident figures reflected this diff
ference in legal protection. Power
working machinery caused a larger
percentage of the accidents to the 10
and II year olds than to children un-
der Unprotected by law-or to
young workers between Is and 2l--
better able to protect themselves.
Accidents were also more serious
to the Is and 17-year group than to
either the younger or older workers.
OF the injuries to workers under 10,
f0.7 per cent resulted in death OF
partial disablement for life. For
those 16 and II years old who were
injured, the rate was 13.4 per cent
killed or permanently disabled; for
the group 1921 years the rate was
1877 per cent.

Observation-Disclosures.
ADDING INSULT TO INJURY :

President Cooidge's veto of the
postal pay bill was grievious wrong
against a practically helpless group
of workers whose employ oyers-the
American people--had signally and
with scarcely dissenting voice APP
proved the legislation.
He added insult TO this injury by
making a grotesque political play to
placate the postal workers and curry
their favor by announcing his willing
ness to sign a new pay bill--one sell
entifically drawn TO meet his wishes.
The president insults the intelli-
gence of the postal workers by his
implication that only with his con-
sent can they secure their just dues
an adequate nay standard. He SEEM
ingly forgets that congress, acting as
the direct representatives of the own
ers of the service, almost unanimously
agreed upon the necessity for higher
postal pay rate. The house, on June
6, and the senate, on May rs, voted
with but six and three nay votes, re-
spectively, for senate bill 1898.
The president, exceeding his right,
vetoed the bill. The veto message is
now before congress awaiting action
in December. We can not believe the
congress will recede from its position
because of the presidents opposition.
We confidently look to see the veto
overriden by substantially the same
vote the bill received upon its original
passage.
If the president has any genuine re-
gard for the postal workers he should
maintain a hand's-of policy until
there is vote on his veto. Having
temporarily defeated our wage aims,
he should not be too relentless in his
desire to impose his will on the more
or less helpless postal workers.
We are at least entitled to a clear
chance for the last big effort--a veto
message vote. Mr.. Coolidge is max
ing it more difficult for US by his
vague gesture and a belated show Of
interest.-Union Postal Clerk.

Tie text book contradicts the

main points. Setting forth What the

emphasizes what il is not and toes
not do, among other points. these.
Tie amendment is an enabling act,

In other words ii enables congress
to fix federal minimum standard fol
the employment Of children, a mini

through their representatives in con'

Ii enables congress TO deal with in

ployers send work across state lines
for children to ito, or employ children
who for seasonal industries migrate

Ii makes il possible for high stand
ard industries and states with good
child labor laws to protect their chill

! fair competition from low standard

But the amendment does not itself
prohibit anything, and is not in itself

Being a constitutional amendment,
it is broad and general in its terms, as
constitutional amendment should be.
1t exempts no occupations sris =

which points the opposition seeks to
make much )--because the place to
make exemptions is in the subsequent
child labor law, not in the enabling
act.
Ii prescribes no particular kind OF
law for congress TO enact except that
it fixes an upper age limit beyond
which congress shall have no author
ity.
1t does not prohibit the labor of
! children up tn Is years of age, nor
does it contemplate federal law con-
tanning a general prohibition up TO Is
years Of pre-.
1t does make possible, however, fed
eral laws similar to many existing
state laws, regulating employment OF
boys and girls of is and II, as well as
the younger ones, in hazardous occu-
pations and at night work and for
overlong hours.
Ii gives congress no power the
states do not now have.
1t takes away no power the states
have to raise their child labor stand
