A Bad Weed.

Warning was issued to Idaho
farmers last week by M. L. Dean,
state director OF plant industry, to
use all their efforts in trying to
prevent the spread of a weed
known as "camel thorn" or the
common cocklebur.
This weed prevails in the state,
the director said, but SO far has not
reached proportions that make it
menace. Persistent cutting OF the
bush and grubbing Of the roots will
eventually eliminate this pest of
nhe fields, he says.
California is having trouble con-
arolling the weed, dispatches from
nhe Coachella valley say, and a
rampaign has been started there to
I'd the valley. 1t spreads from
both seed and root and instances
are known where the roots extend
90 feet under ground.

DELINQUENT TAXES
Law Variously Interpreted By
Counties.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 3o.-The law
enacted by the 1923 legislature IN
creasing from three TO four years
the time for redeeming property
against which there are delinquent
taxes is being interpreted by 81 OF
Idaho's a. counties 10 begin with
the year 1890, according to a
canvass made by the state depart
ment Of public investments.
This Interpretation means that
in these counties property which
has delinquent tax against it, be-
ginning with 1920, will not be
seized by the county until the first
Monday of January, 1925, instead
Of the first Monday of January,
1924, as the old law provided.
is assumed by the depart
ment that the remaining 13 coun-
ties are not recognizing the new
law and will take deed to property
against which there are delinquent
taxes beginning with 1920, the first
Monday of January, 1924
A Canvass of the counties was
made by the department to protect
property which it has been forced
to take because of the foreclosure
on farm lands. The department
wanted to know whether it would
have to pay the 1920 taxes on its
properties in order to protect them
for another year, or could allow the
taxes 10 stand until the first
Monday Of January, 1925.

SONG OF OPTIMISM
From the Los Angeles Times

From the Los Angeles Times.
If were not in tune with JOY
And could not feel its rapture keen;
If all seemed base without alloy
And pleasures fitted by unseen,
think I'd watch the sunsets glow
Sweet natures blush for this bad earth,
And then with soul all free from
Acclaim the reign of happy mirth.
If were full Of visions dark,
And could not see the brightest gleam,
Nor hear again the meadow lark,
Like golden music in dream,
: I'd seek a mountain big and high
And gaze upon the valleys green;
My fancy then | know, would fly
And mingle with the glorious scene.
If were lonely, all alone,
And had no cares Of any kind;
But, like loose and rolling stone,
A-down life's vale to 60 it blind
I'd dream beneath the starry sky,
Forgetting time and its swift race,
And when the summons came to die
I'd meet it with smiling face!

FORESTS, VITAL NEED
Store Water For Idaho Irriea-
tion Projects.

Boise, Idaho. The importance
OF national forest lands is no better
illustrated anywhere than in Idaho.
where irrigation development has
in large part devolved upon the
preservation OF the great forest
domains. Until about 40 years ago,
the forests in Idaho faced destruc.
ton by FIRE and reckless cutting,
Nothing was being done to protect
the trees. They were left to burn.
or else to pass into the hands Of
private owners whose interests in
most cases impclled them to take
from the land what could easily be
obtained, and then to pass on 10
new areas.
Had this destruction gone Oh un-
checked, there would in the end
have been little timber left in the
state. Had such condition come
to pass, the hundreds oi stream
rising in the mountains would have
been seriously affected. Low
water, or no water at all, would
have been the result in the long,
dry periods, followed by destructive
floods after heavy rains. This con-
dition would have meant disaster
to the systems Of irrigation, upon
which the agricultural industry 81
the state SO largely depends.
Without adequate protection OF
the watersheds, such prsjecfs as
the mighty Arrowrock damr or the
great Minidoka irrigation system,
would have been impossible.
Electric power Developments would
,e been seriously hampered, and
in many cases totally prevented.
The lack of steady flow ofsspure
water for municipal purposes
would soon have stified community
development and progress.
There are now Io national forests
wholly or partly in Idaho. The
total area is spproxima ateiy 40. 5o,-
900 acres gross, and Is, 771, 300
net. The difference between the
gross and net areas is the acreage
of privately owned land within Il E
exterior boundaries of the forests.
Idaho's total area is approximately
$1,000, 600 acres, of which $4,000,
900 acres or 3 per cent is forestec.
The name of the bureau having
lcharge of the lands was changed in
1905 from ssbureau of fopestry' 10
.forcst service ands ths term
sforest reserves was changed to
"national forests eThis latter
change was made because the
! word "reserve" is misnomer-

The Goose Goes Wr0nn

CAD but Illuminating news comes from
~ Jasper, Ark. There is a pond near
there-a shallow pond that has long in
vited the attention of water and shore
birds. Also, close at hand, is the home of
a moonshiner This moonshiner, having
completed his illicit brew, dumped the re-
naming mash in the edge of the shallow
pond. Down from the far north came a
great flock of honking geese. Night was
at hand and the geese settled upon the
pond to feed and rest. In a brief time
all of the birds that were not dead were
hilariously drunk. All Newton county
heard of the goose debauch and hurried to
the scene. Hundreds of birds were cap
tured and there was many grooming
board in the county Immediately there
after
What's the moral? Easy. The wise
bird goes his direct, sane way to an ulti-
mate end and usually arrives unsullied.
Geese daily, get drunk, betray themselves,
die and spoil everything. It's the way of
winged as well as the human world.

A Losing Fiaht

NOUNG AMERICA Is losing IN Its fight
l. to preserve the high water mark"
This is evident from figures just made
public by soap makers, who say Ameri-
can families are using % per cent more
toilet soap today than they did few
years ago.
And, as if this were not enough, physi-
clans and health authorities are making
progress in the schools of the nation with
a Bath Day movement
What chance has lone, unwashed youth
against such combination as this?
What chance when statistics show that
every household today Is using annually
more than 80 pounds of soap? When
2,500,000,000 pounds of soap are being
turned out every year to torment his feel
ings and chase his dirt?
Is it any wonder that storms of protest
are going up in Seattle these evenings
when 'the gang" gets together in the
