WAR ON FLIES
IS DECLARED
Early Season Battle Is Begun
Against Health
Menace

Misa Louise Kiddle, county hom<*
demonstration agent, is out alreadv
with the cry, "Swat the Fly." In a
statement issued Monday from tli
farm bureau office, Miss Riddle
points out that a fly extermination
campaign is a major portion of clean
up week scheduled for April 24
She said
"Thrre is 110 greater menace to
health than the house fly. fired in
filth and living in filth it comes
in contact with all sorts of disease
germs and carries them by the million
into our homes. Here it leaves them
on our food and some member of our
household may be the next victim of
disease. It carries the germs of ty
phoid fever, dysentery, consumption
and diphtheria and is 110 respector of
persons in its distribution of these
germs.
"There is no better way in which
the women of Idaho can conserve
health than by ridding their homes
and communities of the fly. To be
effective, an effort should be inade to
clean up-all places in which flies breed.
Privy vaults should be fly proof, the
contents daily covered with lime or
dust, and frequently treated with
kreso or lye. The garbage pail should
have a close fitting covcr. which is
kept in place. Stable manure should
not be allowed to accummulate but
should be removed to the fields at
frequent intervals or treated with
chemicals.
"There will always be a few flies,
due to the fact that everyone is not
careful in destroying the breeding
places. The flies which live over the
winter should be killed as soon as
they appear for they are responsible
for the millions in late summer.
"Now is the time to begin fighting
the fly. The week of April 10-24 has
been set aside as clean-up week for
Canyon county
"During this week every yard and
barn yard, outhouse and stable will be
cleaned: rubbish, ashes, tin can«, man
lire, etc., will be removed; screens at
doors, windows, porches and out.
houses will be put on mended and
made fly proof: covered garbage cans
and pails will be put to use in every
home instead of the open ones now in
use, and in fact Canyon county will
be cleaned up, preparatory to keepin ?
everything clean so that there will be
no filth nor flies this summer

CANDIDACY ANNOUNCEMENT
AROUSES REPUBLICAN
ENTHUSIASM.
l'arma — l'arma Republicans, amon^
whom are some of the prominent pol
iticals of the state, received with en
thusiasm Wednesday the announce
ment of the possible candidacy of
Herbert Hoover, war time food dic
tator. for the presidency of the Un
ited States. The news created more
lexcitement locally than any political
! development of the campaign to date
J Without a dissenting voice local Re
publicans stand ready to back Mr.
Hoover, being in thorough sympathy
with his policy as outlined, and ard
ent admirers of his war record. Re
fore any announcement of his pos
sible acceptance of the nomination,
if offered, had been made, it was gen
erally known that the women's vote
was his if he ran. Democrats as well
as Republicans, are strong adherent?
of Mr. Hoover's, having been out
spoken of their support of his can
didacy for some time past. It is tlioi
he can easily draw support from all |
parties.
Favor Hoover Club.
Strong sentiment has developed lo
cally for the organization of a Can
yon county "Hoover club" and action
ill prohably be taken to that end |
this week.
Announcement of Mr. Hoover's at
titude was contained in a telegram
sent to the Hoover Republican club of
California Tuesday. He stated there
in that he would accept the Republi
can nomination for president "if it is
felt that the issues necessitate it and
it is demanded of me. I do not and
will not myself seek the nomination,"
Mr. Hoover favors ratifying the
peace treaty with reservations. He '-s
an advocate of a forward looking, lib
eral. constructive platform on th?
treaty and on econotnic issues and is
undoubtedly the one candidate fo-
whom there has been a popular de
mand from all parties.
The domestic science class of the
College of Idaho held the first of a
series of dinner parties Wednesday
evening at Sterry hall at six o'lock.
M'iss Helen Woods of Caldwell was

An Invitation to Women
In view of the large number of women who are weekly turning to
the laundry for family washing service, those who have not yet done
so perhaps are not yet quite convinced.
Lack of knowledge cannot be the reason, for it is hardly believable
that any well informed woman is unacquainted with the fact that
laundries are now doing satisfactorily a tremendous volume of fam
ily washings.
And so we invite all skeptical women to come in and see how we
launder family washings.
Come and see how carefully we sort garments. Come and see how
scientifically and orderly we work. Watch our washing, wringing,
drying and finishing processes.
Then you will quickly see why our methods are easier on clothes
han home methods of any kind, and how well we understand the
different fabrics.
You know you pay something like $1 50 to $250 a year for your
washings when you count everything and such a family expense is
worth considering from every angle.
This is by no means a perfunctory invitation. We are proud of our
plant, our equipment and our work, and we are always glad to show
our customers through.
Our charge, are made at a low pound rate. AU flat piece« are nicely iron
ed, the balance returned ready to iron. For small extra charge we iron nr.
ment» usually returned unironed. Try our service. You will be pleased*

IMPORTED SEED
Turkestan Alfalfa Has No Place
In Irrigated
Sections
Boise. Ida.—April 5.—Upon infor
mation that a cargo of Torkestan alf
alfa seed amounting to 100 carloads
has reached the northwest from Si
beria, Deputy State Seed Inspector, C.
R. Ahlson has issued a statement ad
vising that this variety be not planted
in' the irrigated sections in Idaho.
"This seed will be distributed to
various sections of this country and
is very good in the right sections,"
says Mr. Ahlson. "It is a drought
resistant variety and in semi arid cli
mate thrives very well. However, 't
is not recommended for the irrigated
sections of Idaho. The yields of hay
and seed arc less than from American
grown seed because of the less vigor
ous growth. It does not recuperate as
readily after cutting, is shorter lived
and is less hardy than Grimm, Baltic
or common. It is therefore an un
desirable variety for the irrigated sec
tions.
How to Identify It
"It is now being offered for sale
in Idaho. The farmers before mak
ing purchases of alfalfa should de
mand the assurance that the seel
which is offered is American grown
The color of Turkestan is usually
brown, and an exceptional sprinkling
of brown seed in the lighter colored
American grown seed may indicate a
blend. Such, a mixture may appear
upon the market and in that case it
would be difficult to state just where
the seed would be particularly suited.
Fortunately commercial Turkestai
alfalfa seed can be identified in most
cases by the seed of 'Russian Knap
weed.' which it almost invariably con
tains. The seed of this weed is not
found in commercial alfalfa seed from
any other source. Reing considerably
larger than alfalfa seed, of an oblong
shape, and of an ivory, whitish color,
it can usually be distinguished with
little difficulty. This weed is as per
sistent and noxious as quack grass
and by all means should not be plant,
cd. It may be readily carried from
one field to another through the ir
rigation ditches.
" This seed sells for from 35 cents
to 38 cents per pound, approximately
5 to 7 cents less than good high qual.
ity rjative grown seed. This offers
an inducement to purchase the seed,
but it is not the variety that will brin^
the best returns."
