enclosed in letter to Paul Davis, de-

With the bank note Commander Quinn
sent his "heartfelt hopes that your
campaign will be as successful as it
deserves, and it deserves every pos
sible success.
ga memorial of the kind you have
urged,'' said the national commander,
"should be powerful stimulus to the

its use. 1t will constantly remind
them of the sacrifices Of those who
have fought in the past for their coun-
try, and will remind them also of the
duty that may be theirs if their coun-
try again needs military defense. The
practical aspects of such a memorial
need no comment. Such a combina-
ton of sentiment and utility merits
the highest praise from the nation and
pride from Idaho. It will build spirit

Can you get good stand of leg
umesR If not, attend the field day at
Winchester to be held by the Depart
ment of Agronomy of the College of
Agriculture of the University ON Sat
urday, June 81, at 2:30 O'Clock. If
50, attend to see if your stand could
be improved. If you have other crop
or soil problems plan on visiting tho
experimental work at Winchester. This
work is being carried on by the Uni
yersity for the benefit of the farmer
and nearly twenty acres of land is
being devoted to experimental work,
particularly adapted to the needs of
this area.
Among the many experiments being
conducted are variety tests with
wheat, oats, barley, peas and corn. The
effect of fertilizers and nurse crops
of several kinds upon the stand and
yield of the various legumes is one
of the principal experiments.
This is of particular interest to the
farmer who is interested in growing
feed for live stock.
Is the inoculation of legumes bene-
ficialf This question is also answered
in a very effective way by one of the
experiments. In addition many other
things of interest are under investiga-
tion.

IDAHO aRAIN cRop FAR sHoRr


The following report of Idaho 5
grain and hay crop, sent out June IA
indicates the shortest yield this state
has known in years:
There was general deterioration of
crop prospects during May because of
continued drought. Rain on the 9th
and 7th was general throughout the
state and relieved the situation very
materially. With the exception of a
few local showers, this was the first
precipitation of any consequence since
April 3. Nonirrigated crops and ranges
suffered considerably. Irrigated crops
while not equal to last years are still
making good progress except in some
districts where water supplies are re.
duced
SPRING WHEAT-Carrying out
their early spring intentions to reduce
spring wheat acreage, farmers have
planted $1,000 acres less than har-
vested last year, or total of 59S,000
acres. A condition of 73 per cent of
normal is the lowest june LIST condi-
ton ON record. A year ago it was 81
per cent and the 10-year average is
"a per cent. The reduced acreage and
low condition forecasts production of
only 10,499,000 bushels compared with
1e,111,000 bushels harvested last year.
Unless there is more precipitation,
prospects in north Idaho all non
irrigated districts are unfavorable. In
the irrigated districts the crop is still
growing nicely but some districts will
not have enough water to mature the
crop.
WINTER WHEAT-Since practical
ly all winter wheat is grown without
irrigation, this crop has suffered
severely from drought. The condition
of 73 per cent is the lowest ON record
for June l and compares with 81 per
cent last month and 96 per centaa year
ago. A prospective crop of 6,395,000
bushels is the lowest since 1917 when
5,S50,000 bushels were produced. Rains
would still be of benefit in the higher
elevations. Much of the crop has
headed short.
Combining winter and spring wheat,
total wheat crop of 16,S94,000 bush
els is indicated. This is 1921, 900
bushels less than harvested last year
and is the lowest since 1917.
OATS AND BARLEY-Oats and
barley acreages have been increased 10
per cent over last year. Oats has a
condition of only 73 per cent of nor
NAL, which is Is points lower than
previous June l records. A year ago
the condition was 96 per cent. The
forecast is 5,774,000 bushels against
100000 harvested last year. Barley
has condition of 80 per cent, fore
casting crop of 3,02s,oO0 bushels. A
year ago the condition was 81 per cent
and the crop harvested 100000 bush
els.
HAY-This season, the first fore
cast of hay production viii be made
in July. The condition is 70 per cent,
which is 10 points below May ] and
10 points below June !, 1928. The first
crop of alfalfa is now being harvested
in southern and western counties. It
is not equal to last years first crop
and what with the dry season and
alfalfa weevil, the second and third
crops will be shorter than last year.
On May the hold-over stocks of hay
were 477,0O0 tons, which compared
with 21S,00O tons in 1923 and 286,000
tons in 1922 for similar dating.

BENZ ON POTATOES JUNE "a

f. Benz of Yakima has probably
nao more experience in potato culture
and marketing than any other one man
In the Northwest. He will be in Nez-
perce on Tuesday, June "a, to tell our
people what he knows about potato
farming and marketing. Arrange
ments will be made to have his ad-
dress follow the regular afternoon pro-
gram in the Chautauqua tent. He will
start his talk at 400 p. M, and it win
be free to everybody; ample room in
the big tent for all who wish to hear
him.
Mr.. Benz, who is no stranger to
this community, having visited and lee
tured here on previous occasions, now
holds the position of agricultural agent
OF the Northern Pacific Railroad Co..
and as such is now making this tour
and talking on spud culture. In the
belief that he can help the farmers
get larger yields of potatoes and,
therefore, greater tonnage for it to
handle, the railroad company is will
ling to pay him a good salary and ex-
penses for his services. He must be
worth listening to.
It was originally planned to have
him talk in the Fraternal Hall here
in the evening of the oath, but owing
to the fact that the Chautauqua tent
will be available in the afternoon and
that he can come right ON here after
his noon talk at Craigmont, it is con-
sidered that the afternoon meeting will
be more satisfactory.

FINANCE AND TAXATION

I'VE believe that the achievement
Of the Republican administration In
reducing taxation by 81 ,25O OOO, 900 Der
annum reducing of the public debt by
w, ,432, GOO, COO; installing q budget sys-
tenn; reducing the public expenditures
from $5,500,000,000 per annum to an
proximately $3,400,00O,OO0 per annum,
thus reducing the ordinary expendi-
lures of the government to substan-
TALLY a prewar basis; and the COM
plete restoration of public credit; the
payment or refunding of 81 100000, 600
of public obligations without disturb
ance of credit or industry-alI during
the short period of three years
sents a record unsurpassed In the his
tory of public finance.
THE assessment of taxes wisely and
scientifically collected and the efficient
and economical expenditure of the
money received by the government are
essential to the prosperity of our ma
ton. Carelessness In levying taxes In
evitably breeds extravaganza In ex-
penditures.
Demand Sound Policy.
'The wisest of taxation rests most
lightly on the individual and economic
life of the country. The public de-
mand for sound tax policy is in
sistent.
Progressive tax reduction should be
accomplished through tax reform. 1t
should not be confined to less than
1000, 900 of our citizens who pay direct
taxes, but is the right of the more
than 100,000,000 who are daily paying
their taxes through their living ex-
penses. Congress has in the main con-
fined Its work to tax reduction. The
matter Of tax reform is still unsettled
and is equally essential
1--WE pledge ourselves TO the pro-
gressiye reduction of taxes of all the
people as rapidly as may be done with
due regard for the essential expendi-
lures of the government administered
with rigid economy, and to place our
tax system on a sound peace time
basis.
''We indorse the plan of President
Coolidge. to call in November ma
tional conference of federal and state
officials for the development of the
effective methods of tightening the tax
burden of our citizens and adjusting
questions of taxation as between ma
tional and state governments.
Recognizing U. S. Bureaus.
"we favor a comprehensive reor-
ganization of the executive depart
ments and bureaus along the line of
the plan recently submitted by joint
committee of the congress, which has
the unqualified support Of President
Coolidge.
''The Improvement In the enforce
nent of the merit system both by
legislative enactment and Executive ac-
lion since March A, 1921, has been
marked and effective. BY Executive or
Ter the appointment Of Presidential
1ostmasters has been placed on the
merit basis similar to that applying

1. The Meat Packers think the

2. Meat packers have contributed

RANKIN RULES TRUST
RECEIPTS NOT GOOD
SECURITY FOR FUNDS

Helena, May 8.-Trust receipts is
sued by banks cannot be accepted by
count ytreasurers as security for de
pOsits of county funds, according to
an opinion furnished by Attorney
General Rankin to the treasurer Of
Sanders county. In this opinion he
says:
"The trust receipts" are merely
acknowledgements that the bank holds
certain described warrants or bonds
deposited by you as county treasurer
as security for county deposits. The
warrants or bonds have not been de
livered to the county treasurer, nor
have they been approved by the
board of county commissioners, but
are held by the bank for safe keep
ing.
at is difficult to see how the coun-
tvs position with reference to securi-
ty has been improved any by this
method. The county already has a
receipt from the bank for the county
funds which have been deposited.
Should you accept the so-called trust
receipt and should the bank fail, you
would have two receipts instead of
ono but no security.
cit is therefore nv opinion that
trust receipts may net be accepted
as sec1-ritv for county deposits, but
that the bonds themselves must be
delivered to you"

$125,000 were scared. They got the
then Attorney General, A. Mitchell
Palmer to agree to a Consent De-
cree" that the meat packers should
keep cut of most unrelated lines of
business except cheese. and divorce
themselves of ownership of their
stOckyards. The packer profteers
got a court whitewash. The Con

preme Court of the District of Col

that they faced indictments"
'"The rendition or entry Of said
