GOES sAssE THREE BETTER.

A part of Editor Sasse's reputation
as the power behind the Ferdinand
Enterprise is due to the thrifty and
good looking family of eight children
he and his better half have successful
ly brought well along life's highway;
and everyone of these children know
the smell of printers ink and some
thing of its value. But there is a
man in Hico, Texas, who goes our 10.
cal hero three better. He and his bet
ter half have eleven children, who
are masters, or coming masters, at the
art preservative, and help in the
production of the News-Review at
that place. There is no levity in our
statement that these Americans are
genuine heroes, worthy of having CON
ferred upon them emblems most high
ly signifying that fact.

frostloss fall to mature. Corn is a
feed crop; high prices mainly add to
the cost of livestock production. Coz a
scarcity is as Improbable TO agrid !
ture as coal famine would be to ur-
ban industry.
The main significance of the corn
situation lies in it's effect ON live
stock production and prices of the
coming year. Expensive corn this
fall will presumably further the liquid
alton of breeding stock which is now
in process. Unless history is faith
less guide, hogs and high grade cat
tie win be good property before this
time in 1925. OF dairy cows, there
are per cent more in the country
than last year, the increase being
greatest in the west.
The south is going through critical
days now but cotton bids fair to pro-
iuce a larger and more evenly dis
iributed income than last year.
All in all, this season is apparently
going to give agriculture some in
creased economic leverage. The index
of purchasing power of farm products
is slowly rising; it moved up to 70
in June (relative to the year 1913
taken as 1907 or 10 per cent higher
than any other June in four years.

harvest all late. Hay fairly good,
Corn backward. Oats and potatoes
growing well but late. Prospect ror
large fruit crop. Expect a third more
apples and heavier peach yield than
last year. General conditions do not
change materially.
Corn belt-Busy with late haying
and cultivation. Corn two weeks be
hind. Continued reduction of hogs
due to prospect of high priced feed;
hog prices rising. Region heartened
by rising grain prices and hoping for
same in livestock.
Wheat belt-Harvest working up in
to spring wheat territory. Crop good
winter wheat states; thresh- |
ing in progress. Whole region stimu-
lated by higher prices. Some sections

since 1920.

August crop Report for Idaho.

Hay The hay situation provokes
much discussion. After several lean
years, hay growers have chance to
recoup some of their losses. This is
generally agreeable to sheepmen and
they indicate inability to pay more
than a reasonable price. Cattlemen
are in no position to feed high-priced
hay in view of cattle prices. The
August l outlook indicates 100000
tons of tame hay. This is $4,000 more
than July l, but 5s4, 900 tons less than
harvested last year. The average an
nual production for the past Is years,
1909l923, has been 2,164,000 tons. In
1919, Idaho's last dry year, 2,4l3,0Oo
tons were harvested but January of
that year there were $4,000 head of
livestock more than on farms January
1, 1924. The July rains improved the
prospects for the latter cuttings.
Winter wheat-Preliminary thresh-
ing returns of winter wheat indicate
a yield of 16 bushels per acre on $685.
900 acres for total of 5,648,000
bushels. This is the lowest acre yield
and total production in the past 16
years. Last year the returns were 90
bushels and 100000 bushels, respect
fully. Spring wheat was too far adj
vanced to benefit much from the

a condition of Ga per cent of normal
and prospective production of TO-
$4,000 bushels. The total wheat pro-
duction is 16,227000 bushels compared
with 30,115,000 bushels last year.
Quality of winter wheat is SO per
cent, the lowest in years.
Corn-Where irrigation water was

growth but some acreage is short of
water and a condition of so per cent

pared with 100000 bushels in 1929.
Bean Production Idaho beans in
northern counties were greatly bene-
'ited by rains but in the Twin Falls
district there was some injury from
naggot and blight. August LIST pros
'ects indicate 775,0O0 bushels against
10000 bushels July LIST and 100000

SaIve TO Conscience

The Conscience Fund is a popular
name referring to moneys received by
persons unknown at the Treasury
department. This money is received
from persons who have cheated the
government. Annually this amounts to
few thousand dollars. For 1923 the
amount was $2,S04.23. This money is
used for miscellaneous expenses.

THE AGRICULTURAL SITUATION

Excerpts from a brief summary of
economic conditions, issued by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, August
|, 1924.
In agriculture man proposes, but
the weather disposes. For four years
the major food crops have been so
bountiful that the market has been
all buyers market Now we are up
against season so backward and UNI
favorable as to change the basic pro-
duction and price situation.
Wheat harvest has worked up into
the North. This is undoubtedly bet
ter year for the wheat growers, ex-
cept in the Pacific Northwest. Over
much of the world and especially in
Canada bread grains are shorter than
last year, while our own yields are
rather better. Assuming that growers
will sell something over half billion
bushels of wheat, they apparently
stand to get from one to two hundred
million dollars more for it than last
year. That means some paying of
debts and easing of the strain. 1t isl
question whether it will induce so
cheerfully expensive an attitude on
the part of the wheat belt, either fin
ancially or mentally, as some city
spokesman now prophesy.
The corn situation is by no means
good. Stands are extremely spotted,
many fields are full of weeds, and
much of the crop is SO far behind that
it win need something approaching a

THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION

1t is a little late to consider the
equipping of a tourist park in Nez-
perez this year, but it is time to take
the matter up in order that definite
conclusions and results may be had
next spring. When a visitor stops at
your home, he is given the best you
have-if you would have him repeat
the call, or if you desire his respect.
Most communities are taking this at
titude toward the auto tourist, for
most communities furnish their share
of these same tourists. Glangeville,
for instance, has one of the most beau
tiful and appropriate spots in that
city set aside for her tourist park.
The universal expressions from the
auto travellers who have used this
park are such as might be expected
from the welcome guest. Nezperce is
not ON trunk highway, yet but tour
lists come this way, nevertheless, and
they see much to admire, and we are
glad to have them. We can make
their visit more agreeable and show
our appreciation of their call better
if we provide them with the best
stopping place possible. Let's do it.

HISTORY LENDS.
To VALUE Of
ANTIQUES
Demand Increased If They Are
Associated in Use With
Dignitaries

There are antiques and antiques,
the vast majority Of the first men,
toned - although genuine - having
no sentimental or historical sig
nificance attached to them; the sec.
ond including those which can
boast of a long and honorable con-
nection with a man, woman. local
ity or incident, we'll known in his
tory. Values of the two classes are
naturally different, even though the
particular pieces be of the same
make, style and period.
The antique with a historical
background commands much
higher price than that which is
merely an antique" For in
stance, a sideboard used at Mount
Vernon in the family of George
Washington, would bring at least
ten times as much as another side
board, even more venerable Of age
and more artistic in execution.
Among the historical antiques Mt
the Lee Mansion or Arlington House
on the other side of the Potomac
river in Virginia is a little iron
chest in which the thirty thousand
pounds which the widow of Daniel
Parke GUSTS, the beautiful Martha
cambridge brought to Colonel
Washington. The chest is twenty
inches in length, thirteen in width,
and eleven in depth, heavily banded.
and secured by two boltlocks and
two padlocks. Such chests were
used in lieu Of banks, which were
then unknown in America.
An ancient sideboard which be-
longed to Lawrence Washington, is
curious specimen of good furni-
ture in Virginia, a hundred and
seventy-five years ago or more.
1t is made Of black walnut, orna-
mented with a delicate wreath of
leaves upon it's edges and legs. It's
length is about five feet. and its
/ width two and a half feet. Wash
| ington used it in his dining room
at Mount Vernon, during his resi-.
! dence there.
There, too, is the little mahog-
any tea-table, of oval form and
three feet in length, which was
made in New York for the execu-
tive mansion in 1889, and, with
other furniture made at that time
taken to Mount Vernon. This was
a tea-table only. in the family of
Washington, while he was Presi.
dent, for food was seldom set
upon it.
| There is also a large punch bowl
which was expressly made for
Washington but by whom is not
known. 1t is pure white porcelain
with a deep blue border at the
rim, ornamented with gilt stars
and dots. In the bottom is the
picture of a frigate. and on the
/ side are the initials. G. w. in
gilt, upon shield with ornamental
surroundings.
In one of the chambers is the
bed and bedstead upon which
Washington slept at Mount Vernon
and wherein he expired. The bed
posts are mahogany, and the frame
is remarkable for it's great width
being six feet. 1t was made, with
other furniture. in New York, in
1889 and was in continual use by
the great Patriot, until the day OF
his death. Other chapters or
historical antiques will follow.

There has also been marked reduc- ton (from Sb.f to AGA per eent) in children requiring filings, for the most part in first permanent molars. While the proportion needing filings Is slightly greater than last year, the proportion needing extractions has been reduced from 40.s to s2 per cent. This is again most encour- aging sign, for it means that more children have savable teeth than last year, and for such, filings rather than eStractions are indicated. There is also direct evidence that the fill- ings required are of far less ex, tensiHe nature than when that work first began, for in 1920, so per cent of the filings were urgent, while in 1923 only S7 per cent were urgent.
 Everywhere one sees marked awakening of all elements in the community to the importance of this work accompanied by a willingness to cooperate in every way to make 1t q success. The principals and teach- CTS in the schools of the district have made real sacrifices in provid- ing the necessary space.
