Poor Bill, he leads humdrum life,
He hardly gets a bit of freedom.
He has four children and a wife,
1t makes him hump to clothe and
feed EN-.
His worries never seem to cease,
At home those noisy kids beset
him;
And II he seeks to nap in peace,
They will not let him.
It's very seldom he gets out,
Once In a month of Sundays.
maybe.
And when he does he frets about
The older children and the baby.
He cannot call his soul his own,
His slavery is something Grant,
His state of mind is clearly shown
And that's-a parent.
Yet recall when he, like me.
Could go and come as struck his
fancy,
When he was burdenless and free
For any geme-however CLANCY.
But now he cannot play around,
He cannot join our merry revel;
To home and family he's bound
The lucky devil!

LIVE AND LEARN

AS there has Neen considerable
discussion of the Ideal Section of
the Lincoln highway in Lake county,
Indiana, it is interesting to note an
article published in The Commission
er of November, 1928, commenting
on this piece of road.
There is probably more road ex-
pansion from heat and cold in In
diana than in many of cur western
states but the lessons furnished by
the Ideal Section are worth study
in.
The connecting sections of the
cement roadway expanded with the
heat and buckled at the joints. thus
bending the connecting iron rods
with the result that large chunks OF
pavement were broken from the top
and the bottom of the center.
1t is claimed that the trouble at
the joints occurred from the use of
fet instad of a tar filler and the
continuation of one-inch rodd en-
tirely across the breaks, instead OF
making them clean sectional breaks
According to this report the ne
cessity for cushioning substance
capable of expansion and contraction
between the joints of rigid type pave
ment construction seems to be alb
solutely essential. Experience in
many sections has taught the further
lesson that cushioned wearing sur.
face on top of rigid, non-elastic types
of road base is essential to protect
such base from premature destruc-
ton.

BOOKS FOR THE FARM

Not one farmer in ten has as
many books on agriculture as he
should have. Farmers in many
cases fail to realize that by spend
ing dollar or two for a book which
contains valuable information they
might save themselves hundreds of
dollars.
Farmers should form a stronger
habit of consulting books that will
help them in their work. Many
farmers have a prejudice against
what they call book farming but by
having these prejudices they are
simply standing in their own light.
Books on agriculture are con-
densed record of farming expert
ence. From a book a person can
often get more facts in an hour than
he could get in weeks visiting with
his neighbors.
1t is rapidly being found that the
man who has not learned how to
use books cannot compete with the
man who has at his fingers ends the
best things that have been published
on farming and who knows how to
get to these facts when he needs
them.
Farmers should spend a few dollars
each year enlarging their agricultur-
al library so that they may keep
themselves posted on the best the
world knows regarding their bust
ness. = Utah Agricultural College,

AMERICAN FALLS
RESERVOIR

Boise, Idaho.-The Idaho Reclaim
alton association through its manag-
ing director, Guy Flenner, has made
an analysis of the so-called Cramton
restrictions attached to the appro-
priation for the American Falls reser-
voir, says a bulletin of the. associa-
ton.
ut is our opinion that if these re-
strictiops are not removed, or mod
flied, it will be impossible to con
tinue for long time with construc-
ton" the bulletin declares. This
association has wired Senator Borah
to that effect and asks all respons-
ible organizations in south Idaho and
all individuals who may feel concern
ed to do the same and to urge that
efforts to secure abrogation or modi-
fication of these restrictions be re-
doubled.
Situation Serious
1.-THE situation is more serious
than we had supposed from reading
newspaper reports. Now that we
have before us a copy of the restric-
tions as enumerated in the bill we
do not hesitate to declare that the en-
terprise faces genuine menace,
with these restrictions, even though
the appropriation shall be author

Congress would undoubtedly in

it does, that the money shall not be

IDAHO LUMBER
INDUSTRY GROWING
Issued by the School Of Forestry
University OF Idaho, MOSCOW, Idaho

| The industrial prosperity OF ldahe
rests, Primarily upon her aftIcui-
ture, forestry, and mining. Of these
hree basic industries, forestry, I
developed to a degree easily possible
will, in the long run stand second IL
inheritance only to agriculture.
with the depletion of the standing
timber in the older lumber centers
the lumber business is rapidly shllt'
| ing TO the Pacific northwest. Dur
ing the period from 1915-1922, the
| lumber cut of this region Increased
Sc percent, while that of the remain
! ing states decreased 80 per cent. IL
| is notable that the Pacific northwest
now supplies 81 per cent or the en-
tire lumber cut of the United States
| and within a decade will be supply
| ing the greater bulk of it.
The effect of this nationwide eco
nomic change has, so far as ldaho
is concerned, raised her lumber pro
ducing rating from twenty-fourth
place among the states in 1908, TO
thirteenth place in 1920, and fourth
in the states west of the Mississippi
River in 1922. Among the lumber
producing states in 1920, Idaho
ranked first in larch production,
second in the production OF white
pine and white fir, third in western
yellow pine, and fourth in output OF
Douglas fir and cedar.
According to the Forest Officers
Handbook of 1922, published by the
U. S Forest Service, the annual lum-
Der cut in terms of board feet from
1915 to 1922 in Idaho was as FOL
lows for year:
1915-777, 100000.
1916-846, 107 900.
1917-749,764, 900.
191S-S02,529 900.
1919-765,3S 900.
192O-969,5 1000.
1921-55O, LOTT, 900.
1922-S60,1 1000.
Average-79O,075,0 900.
1t will be seen from the above
table that the peak of production for
the years included was reached in
1920, This, however, should not
be taken to mean that the cut in the
future will not again equal the 1920
output; for with the swing of the
lumber industry to the northwest,
it is very probable that the annual
production in Idaho in the very near
future will exceed the 1920 figure.
This is all the more to be expected
since Idaho contains the largest
body of white pine extant, the lum-
Der from which is in wide demand.
According to the Forest Service,
the value of the 1920 output at the
mill was 900. Using this
figure as a basis the average annu-
al production of lumber in Idaho has
a manufactured value of approx
mately s30,00O,O00, of which fully
so per cent, or not less than s24,-
100000 remain at home to the bene-
fit of every line of community bust
ness.
1t is estimated that the lumber in
dustry of the state pays.
