SAY IT WITH PIsToLsq

The All-Idaho congress seemed tc
be about the first general and prac-
teal expression in this state of the
philosophy that the whole is more
important than any of its parts. The
state has proceeded mostly with To-
cal and sectional activities. The pen
dulum appears to be swinging to
the statewide side. If properly bal
anced it will be all right. Neglect of
local intrests for it would be unwise.
The two should go hand in hand.
Many facts as to Idaho's resources
and institutions were brought out
that would make fine advertising
copy
If we are to have an advertising
campaign, one element should be
showing, in some way, of Idaho's
moral responsibility and stability.
Industries. seeking unfair advantage
to the detriment Of Others or to the
end of creating unnecessary retalia-
ton against Idaho oD the outside;
sections and communities maintain
ing hateful quarrels; continued ag-
itation against capital legitimately
operating here-these things will
not make good copy.
We must get away from them. If
we do not, we will not be called up
on to do the advertising. Others
will do gladly.
We must be in opsition to demon
strate clean-cut responsibility and
fidelity towards those whose business
we seek.
Perhaps years campaign along
those lines at home might constitute
the best means of outlet for the ini-
tial enthusiasm of the All-Idaho con-
gress.
When public sentiment is also All
Idahoized the commendable objec-
tives of the congress will be of easier
an dthere will be far less
danger of the results of til eproposed
three-year advertising campaign be-
ing dismally neutralized by section
al fighting or by a few fool laws :
cooked up in 60 days.
Public sentiment is one of our .
lome industries 1t, too, should be !
and protected and prop .
'rly developed. If it is not right, adj
on the outside will be to a
considerable extent waste of effort ;
md money. T!
This state cannt capitalize its ma :
ural resources with Idaho money. !
agriculture, livestock, mining and I
he whole list requires new capital. {
must come from the outside. But, !
or example, If there is a political !
r other rumpus as to mining in I
ustry, the facts as to mining posi- :
ilities soon fade from the picture 1
D far as prospective investors are :
Dncerned. Like assaults would sim Z
arly affect other Industries. i
All other states that have gotten !.
ut OF the swaddling clothes OF pet !;
z jealousy and politico-industrial i
'olishness and taken on a genuine !.
ate spirit are advertising to the :
orld the solidarity of sentiment for +
lie protection of legitimate opera i
ons, opportunities for employment. :
lie climate, the fine service Of their I
tilities such as railroads, power, /
lephone. etc.
They are pointing with pride to I
iose things. Idaho cannot afford i
point with pistols. !

REGISTERED FIELDS
TO BE INSPECTED

Arthur H. Post, representative of
the Montana Seed Growers Associa-
ton, inspected the registered fields
of corn, alfalfa and small grain in
Roosevelt county last week. While
the older growers have their seed
up to standard it is found that there
is room for more improvement
among the newer growers to get
their seed to such a standard that
will reflect later on the CONNER
cial crops of the county. We are
fortunate this year in having one
grower of the first generation Mar
quis wheat, one year removed from
the plant breeder and two growers
of the first generation Marquis and
one grower of first generation Vic
tory oats.
Due to unfavorable rainfall con-
ditions in the communities where
the registered flax growers are
farming, there will be very little of
this seed produced this year. How
ever, on all commercial grains there
will be enough foundation stock
to keep the standards of the COM

CERTIFIED POTATOES
WILL BE INSPECTED

H. E. Morris and F. M. Harring-
ton, of the Horticultural Depart
ment of Montana State College, will
be in Poplar, Saturday August 9Th
and will meet with those farmers
who are interested in raising and
producing certified seed potatoes.
Last year a small amount of seed
of the best Bliss Triumph Strain
that could be produced was intro
duced into that community with the
idea of developing and raising the
foundation stock of seed for the
purpose of getting into CONNER
cial production. Ted Danielson, VIM.
Jerome, Howard Bogart and DR.. At
kinson were instrumental in getting
this seed started and it is believed
that under favorable conditions,
especially under the irrigation pro
iect that much can be made out of
commercial seed production that
will be a help to the community.
Farmers interested in f%urthering
this industry should make it a point
to meet Mr.. Morris and Mr.. Har-
rington for information on seed pro-
duction and seed certification.

Summer Fallow Again
Proves Successful

As an experience of this year and
similar years in the past a large
number of the most progressive
farmers in the county are practical
ly eliminating spring and fall plow-
ing from their farming program
and are depending entirely on corn
ground, summer fallow and grain
stubble for their commercial grain
crops which have proven to be the
most satisfactory from the produc-
ton standpoint over a ten year
period. Among these is Oscar Mel
son Of the B%ainville community who
adopted this system the past year
and undoubtedly will reap benefits
from it as his entire acreage is
from land of that source and it is
believed that he will get a very
good average from his crops. In
ten years experiment station data
it is shown that both spring and
fall blowing are inferior to sum-
mier titled land of any kind and
that clean grain stubble from this
source is as safe as spring or fall
blowing. 1t is found also that
where a well-balanced farm pro-
gram is used that an economical
distribution of labor can be work
ed out in the ~by-products of the
farm and marketed to advantage in
livestock.

and it undoubtedly will prove to
be a valuable guide to those farm
ers interested in horsepower farm
ing. One of the interesting fea-
lures about the publication is the
small cost of equipment necessary
by using methods that have been
adopted by some of the successful
farmers above mentioned. While
there is generally a great deal Of
opposition toward a change in opera
ton methods, especially for efficient
production, it cannot help but be
noted that this is a human instinct
that has always been prevalent. The
following paragraph is quoted from
a report of the Agricultural Soci-
ETY. Proceedings in a speech at
Montgomery County Fair on Sep
TENDER %, 1854 eve are, verb
ally. a fast people and u young
folks are not willing to drive an
OK team when horses are to be had.
Perhaps they are right and if they
will always, as I hope they may,
make a profitable use of the time
saved by the more speedy gait of
horses, their choice will be more
generally approved. There are, how
ever, many kinds of farming opera
lions where an OK team is alto
gether the best to say nothing of
the fact that the carcass of the old
OK may go into the beef corral while
that of an old horse is food only
for crows"
To those farmers interested in
the big hitch and reduced cost of
production this publication has a
digest of the best information.

to the registered growers over 100,

by Roosevelt county farmers this

thing that should be watched and
that is for farmers to secure seed

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
Coming Up for Air
BY Helen Rowland

Coming Up for Air
HEAR now, my Daughter, the
II prayer of the Untamed Bache-
Ior, which he chanteth in triumph.
I thank Thee, Lord, that have
passed safely through the season
of delight and danger. Yea, that
it is 'all over" and may once
more come up for air!
I thank Thee, that I may lay
aside my caution and my golf
Knockers, and array myself once
more in stiff collars and dignity.
I thank Thee, that Beauty Con-
tests are no more, and I may at
last open my morning paper with
out fear that mine eyes be smit-
ten by forty editions Of the female
form divine. For they have be-
come unto me as a. nail in the
shoe and an fngrowing eyelash.
1 thank Thee, that / have
passed safely through all the sum.
mer pashes, yea, and the super
pash; and have shed the last of
these with my tennis shoes and my
hay-fever.
I thank Thee, that / may cnce
more sit down without fear lest
spot my white flannel trousers.
And, that I may dwell once
more amid the comforts of my
bachelor-flat, lie down amidst the
pleasant waters of a good bath
tub, and arise to the joys Of a
hot cup of coffee and an honest
waffle.
thank Thee, that through all
my changes Of heart my HEAD
hath remained steady and my
self-preservatton hath never wob-
bled.
That, though ] have strolled in
the moonlight with f1appers,
have uttered no word that could
be uttered against me.
Though / have taught foolish
damsels to swim, they have not
gotten their CLUTCH upon me.
Though have taken young
widows canoeing, / have not yet
rocked the boat!
thank Thee, Oh Lord, that
thou hast delivered me once more
from the headlines or the sum-
mer Resort-and from all the
deadly things therein!
From sea-foot and sunburn and
green watermelon and red-haired
grass widows!
From snake-bite and pink ice
cream and gossips and petting
parties!
From hores-and bridge-fiends
and matchmakers!
From scandal and sudden death,
and motor accidents and matr1-
mony!
And now. oh grant me ten long
sweet months of safety and re-
pose, far from the wild waves and
the wild women-that l may store
up strength to endure ANOTHER
SUMMER! Yea. give me air!

by the thought of your own
helplessness. You'd never want
to give your last cent and your
last drop of blood in a mad
foolish attempt to chance 1t all.
Perfectly happy?
It isn't possible Tor anyone with
a, brain or a heart to be psrfectly
happy.
The instant we begin to think,
sadness wedges itself in through
our eyes and shame and revolt
ferment within our our souls.
The instant we begin to feel,
our. whole lives are shot through
with pain for others.
Unhappiness is the price we pay
for all growth, physical, mental
and moral.
The very desire to go onward
and see the world go onward
means inevitable discomfort and
the discomfort of reimbursement.
Then why should mankind have
always cried out for Perfect
Happiness?
BECAUSE MANKIND is
AFRAID AND ALWAYS HAS
BEEN AFRAID.
1t breads change and pressure
and the pain of realization. 1t
wants the fruits Of rebellion but
1t doesn't want the labor.
So it cries out: Let me be
happy! Let me be freed from
all this terrible knowledge and
experience. Let me be oblivious
of all this misery. Let me be
wrapped in a soft, deep blanket of
content SO that nothing hurtful
can come near me. Let me be
happy!'
And yet, if God should grant
our wish, how terrible wall
would arise from our paralyZed
bodies and atrophied souls.
For out of our frozen darkness
we then would cry:
my God, why did you doom me
to this living death!'
The Washington times., 1925-10-07

As applied to objects in the
sky, a degree is the 360th part
of the entire circuit of the
heavens; 1870 degrees equals half
the circuit; 80 degrees equals a
quarter of the circuit, /. e., the
angular distance from the hori-
ION to the zenith. Ten degrees
is one-tenth Of the angular dis
lance between the horizon and
the zenith.
What is the breadth Of the fun
moon? It Is just about half a
degree. practically the same as
the breadth of the sun. Then a
line of moons, or suns, one on
top Of another, reaching from
the horizon to the zenith, would
contain twice 90 of them. The
distance all around the horizon
is also equal to $50 degrees, since
it is complete circle.
Therefore, it is 80 degrees from
the east point to the south point,
the same from the south to the
west, the same from the west to
the north, the same, finally, from
the north to the east. 1t would
take 720 full moons, or suns,
touching one another, to make a
complete circle around the hori-
zon. One hundred and eighty
would lie between east and south;
80 between east and southeast,
and so on.
A single degree is, as we have
just said, twice the breadth of
the sun or the full moon. Two
stars between which the moon
would just lie are half a degree
apart. The stars in the consteIla-
ton Sagittarius, near which the
correspondent saw Jupiter, were,
he says, four feet away from it.
That means nothing, because
somebody else might have thought
they looked four yards away.
But IL he had known that a
moonsbreadth Is half degree he
could have made a fair esti-
mate of the distance in angular
measure, which, il some new
phenomenon had been concerned
