SEED MARKETS
CONTINUES DULL
Clover and Alfalfa Seeds
Move Slowly; Prices
Slump

Seed demand during the week
February lilo was reported dull in
all markets despite the fact that wealth
er conditions in general were good
for this time of the year. Last year
and in 1920 and 1921 the seed business
was dull during the corresponding
week but in 1922 sales were good
about the middle of February and
then fell off badly for the rest OF
the season.
Prices OF most kinds OF seed held
up fairly we'll but there was some in
dication that prices would be shaved
if there was a chance to make a sale
of a round lot.
Seedsmen are in a quandary over
the prospective demand for red clover
because it has not fulfilled earlier ex-
pectations and prices have declined.
A survey made by the department OF
agriculture indicates that the retail
seed dealers throughout the country
are expecting to buy considerably
more red clover seed from whole
sale seedsmen than last year. The de-
tailed results OF this survey which
covers other seeds as well as red
clover, will be available February rs.
Red clover prices declined a little
in a few markets but alsike clover
prices were well maintained in prac-
tically all markets. Arrivals of red
clover were large. Approximately
100000 lbs, subject to the seed inn
portation act, arrived at New York
and Baltimore mostly from France,
Great Britain, Belgium, and Chile.
From July /, 1923-Feb. IS, 1924, 49,
820, 900 lbs, of red clover was per-
mitted entry into the United States
compared with $4,000 lbs. last year,
1858, 900 lbs. two years ago, and T.
66l, 800 lbs. three years ago tor the
same period. Alsike clover imports
for this period, amounting to 1885,
800 lbs. were likewise much larger
than in past years.
Sweet clover prices were fairly well
maintained. Recent sales OF choice
to fancy sweet clover by Canadian
scedsmcn to American secdsmen were
reported at sl2-Sl3 per 100 lbs.
Alfalfa demand was quiet but
prices remained at levels that have
prevailed for more than month
Imports from July |, l923-Feb. ls'
1924, were o,sss, 900 lbs compared with
7,7o0, 500 lbs. last year, 1881 900 lbs
two years ago and s02,S0O lbs. three
years ago.

COYOTES DOWN
TECH QUINTET
College Hoopsters Take
Last Conference
Game

College OF Idaho basket ball players
wound up the conference season with
decisive victory over the Pocatello
Tech team on the local court Wednes-
day evening. trouncing that aggrega-
ton. 27-i5. and thereby evening the
hoop score for these teams this year.
The Tech Tigers took the first game
at Pocatello recently by a one point
margin.
Not until the second half was well
under way did the Coyotes pile up
lead tina; assured winning the game.
Pocatello recovered from an early
~ lead established by the locals to
run their score to points in the first
half but one more field goal gave
the Coyotes a one point margin for
the half
The second half opened with Jensen
scoring in the first seconds OF play
and then adding another in short
order From that time on. the C6y-
otes gradually drew away from their
opponents
Honors for the Coyotes were
shared by Jensen with 10 points TO
his credit and Robinson and Myers.
Coyote guards. who completely
smothered the visitors offense. Cap
tain Myers. suffering with a badly
swollen jaw from a wisdom tooth.
gave one OF the finest exhibitions OF
nerve shown on the local court in
many seasons. He entered the game
with the pain deadened by liberal use
OF a local anaestheiic but the influence
soon wore off under the strain and
he played the remainder OF the game
suffering acute pain. Twice in the
second half he took time out but stuck
with his post until the final whistle.
Robinson, with near fracture OF his
hip. also played nervy game despite
another injury early in the contest.
Lowell with three field goals and
clever floor work and Hoshaw at
center with two counters completed
the local lineup. Williams, Tech
center. was both high point man for
the visitors as well as the individual
luminary for his team.
Taking the Tech game placed the
Coyotes definitely in the first divi-
sion in the conference Standing with
four games won to three lost

HIGH HOOPSTERS
DOWN PAYETTE
Take Fast Game From
Visitors by 22-19
Score

One OF the fastest and most clever
ly played basket ball games TO be
staged on the high school court this
season was that Tuesday evening
when Caldwell high school won from
Payette in hard fought contest by
the narrow margin Of a 22-l9 score.
From whistle to whistle. the game
was battle. Payciie's team. winner
OF one game from the Caldwell quin-
tet this season proved itself to be
the best coached aggregation TO play
here this season against the local
high school team. Caldwell led at
the end of the half, 1918. but the
third quarted found the visitors one
point in the lead and playing a brand
OF basket ball that threatened 70 keep
the local from annexing another field
goal.
But little Joe CARRIER collided with
someone's elbow early in the final
quarter and NiclSlc took his place at
forward. The change probably won
the contest for Caldwell because
Nickle promptly proceeded to collect
two field goals in quick succession.
Jensen added another TO swell the
lead TO point where Payette could
not recover despite final rally of the
fastest basketball played on the home
court this season.
The game was rather rough. Par
rish. referee. started calling fouls at
a rate that would have evicied the
Payeite team from the floor shortly
via the four personal foul route.
Three fouls for holding against Pay
cites stellar guard, Olsen. in the early
moments OF play resulted in 4 change
to fewer interruptions and faster play.
This is the last major game OF the
high schools home season. Meridian
will be here Saturday night for the
final contest while Caldwell played
Nampa an exhibition game a, Nampa
last eveking. Preparations will be
made next week to round the high
school squad into the best possible
condition for the tournament NJ Boise.

MODERN ROAD BUILDING

Almost over night road builders ar
awakening to the fact that one of tn
su'cst ways to prevent highway ac
cidents is to widen the road grads
from fence to fence more like a street
instead Of digging great bitches AT
lhe sides of the road and banking I'd
the center like railroad grade. The
amount of dirt moved is the same and
no additional expense is involved
The new type of road is much SAT-
er as a motOrist feel more at ease On
it than he does on the old turnpike
style of construction. The mere fac|
that he does not feel as nervous Al
bout running off the grade reduces the|
danger of accidents, for he is inclined
to drive straighter and not "wObble1
in passing another car.
It's the same proposition as when
you walk a narrow plank across 4
creek, you are inclined to think yOIl
are going to fall off. But an addition
al plank on each side of the one you
are walking on, and you can walk tn /
single plank between the other tw
without any hesitancy. A wider rOal
grade gives the same feeling to AZ

tested methods of paving which arl

is to the effect that she was called to
the door of her home by two women,
who said that they would take her to
her daughter, who had been missing
for some time. When Mrs. Tatum en-
tered the waiting automobile she
found there were four women in the
machine and man driving. The ma
chine sped away to lonely spot near
the river, where the woman was hand
cuffed and held by the man, while the
four women used the lash on the vic
tim. Her body is a mass of bruises,
according to her aunt, Mrs. Jane

The whipping was given by "com-

After trudging for seven months
through the swamps and junglcs Of
Guatemala with a shotgun over his
shoulder, Harry Malleis, collector for
the New National Museum, is back In
Washington with more than 5000
specimens of tropical birds, mammals
and reptiles, including number OF
rare and beautiful species.
Included in the collection is coral
snake, banded with repulsive yellow,
which Malleis captured alive. 1t is
one of the most poisonous reptiles in
the world, a single sting meaning
almost unacceptable death. Mallcis
picked it up by the back of the head
and carried IL alive to camp where
it was thrown into rormaldehyde.
Collection of Bats.
Most of the collection is made up
Of rather common tropical animals.
There is an especially large collec-
ton of bats which were captured in
unique surroundings. In that section
Of Guatemala are number of ruined
cities, SO far removed from the ordi-
nary routes of travel that they have
never been investigated by scientists.
The prehistoric towers are alive with
bats at night, the explorer reports.
He spent several nights camping in
the ruins to secure the specimens.
Malleis last year was senior at the
University of Kansas and this was his
first exploring expedition. He entered
the section of Guatemala, in which his
collection was obtained through the
jungleS from British Honduras and
made his headquarters at the unique city
of Flores, situated on an island in the
center Of a forty-mile lake and cut off
from outside civilization by the dense
forests that surround it.
Flores and it's surrounding JungleS
are seldom visited because of the diff
ficulty of access. The forests and
swamps are rich in game and reptiles,

CHICAGO, February 23.-Girl stu
dents at preparatory schools today are
far more moral than the students Of
three years ago. according to delegates
attending the conference here Of the
national association of principals Of
schools for girls.
Dean Bernice V. Brown OF Radcliffe
College declared that she was of the
opinion that the girls Of today are
more religious than those of twenty
years ago.
Student governing bodies and stu
dent councils have undertaken the
supervising OF the students in most
Of the schools. and a rule made by the
governing body is seldom broken, it
was stated at the conference.
Frank S. McGill of Penn Hall de-
clared that it was his opinion that the
girls of today are as good as those
OF former generations. but that they
are dizzy trying to keep up the pace
set by their parents.
Two resolutions were adopted, one
seeking to make college entrance ex-
aminations uniform and the other
seeking to secure longer and more fire.
