ble for their support. The statement
is contained in monthly review of the
farm bureau work.
The general statement acompanying
this review and the work of the Ada
county agent is issued by the exten
sion department follows,
GENERAL.
During the week ending August 18, the
county agents and Extension workers
met in Boise for a summer conference.
The first four days were given over j
to an itinerant conference. Daily ,
tours in Ada and Canyon counties were
made and demonstrations and prac- |
tices studied. One day .was given over j
to studying livestock demonstrations, i
another to silo construction; the third
land fourth days were given over to
studying demonstrations of potato im
provement; corn growing; clover and
seed production. This feature of the
conference was excellent and the ef
fort was so concentrated that it is felt
all secured some valuable help.
The work with livestock and silos was
especially opportune because of war
time emergencies. Friday and Satur
day were given over to a conference on
farm bureau organization and methods,
and since the work was not finished up,
Sunday, too, was given over to a dis
cussion of this work. This feature
seemed especially worth while, in view
of the fact that all the men are so new
to this type of effort.
MORE FARM BUREAU8
A county agent for every county in
Idaho Is now possible, with the enact
ment of the Food Production act re
cently signed by the President. Feder
al funds are now available for any
county which will co-operate with Ute
United States Department of Agriciii
Iture and the University of Idaho in
maintaining the work. It is hoped
(that at least eight counties will take
advantage of this help early this fail.
In addition, counties may be organized
so that two or-more will unite in main
taining a district agricultural agent.
This will be a great Incentive to
farm bureau organization in Idaho for
effort will be made, with the placing of
every agent employed under the food
production act. to organize a farm bu
reau. The rural women will also he
greatly Interested in the further ex
tension of the work in Home Econom
ics which is made possible because
of the Food Production Act. Not less
than seven women emergency agents
will be placed at once in Tdaho to
help in the great work of conserva
tion. These women will work through
the farm bureaus snd In every county,
which has a farm bureau. Women will
be asked to serve as committee work
ers on the same plan as now prevails
with men. This is a step in the direc
tion of securing better oganizations of
rural women, if not a woman's farm
bureau organization eventually. In
quiries should he directed to Miss Amy
Kelly, State House, Boise.
Payette will have a farm bureau
soon If the members of the Canyon
county farm bureau, who are now res
idents of a new county, carry out their
wishes. With the division of Canyon
county about one hundred members of
the farm bureau of this county became
citizens of another county, and while
the Canyon county Farm Bureau ex
tends full privileges, these people are
(anxious to organize a farm bureau 'a
Payette county and engage a county
(agricultural agent.

MARKETING.
The wool pool at Meridian proved to
be very helpful to the small flock own
ers of the Valley. This pool consist
ed of 17,532 pounds of wool which w.is
the property of forty-four ranchers.
There was a 5 per cent shrinkage during
the time in storage which amounted to
88 pounds, leaving 18,664 which sold I
I s . "" ts ; amounting to *10,498.32, j
an . d . '"»»ranee, !
leaving *10,348.32. The selling price of (
wool during this time ranged from
to 50 cents per pound. The average
price being about 47V4 cents, which
would leave a net gain to the ranchers
of *2,012.00. This work was done in
co-operation with Mr. H. A, Ireland,
Project Advisor. Boise Reclamation
Project.
SILOS.
The landscape of the Boise Valley is
Improving rapidly for silos are now
showing up everywhere. The special
work of the farm bureau In advocating
silo construction and In demonstrat
ing the worth of silage in Ada county
is surely bringing results, for the de
mand for silo forms is greater than the
available supply. Fifty silos at least
will be built in Ada county alone this
year. With hay at *18.00 a ton, these
insure profitable dairying and general
livestock farming.

AMUSEMENTS
THE STRAND.
Pauline Frederick who is appearing
m the Paramount picture. "Double
Crossed." at the Strand theater has
one of the most enviable reputations
us an emotional actress of any living
star. Her career on the stage was
short and of a metoer-llke brilliancy.
No one who witnessed it will ever
forget her last appearance on the stage
which was in "Joseph and His Breth
ern," at the Century theater. New York
City, on Jan. 11. 1913. This was the
climax of a stage career which bad
given her the unquestioned position of
the leading emotional actress of the
Jo y .
At the height of her stage career
Miss Frederick deserted the stage for
the screen where she first appeared in
the famous Players presentation of
"The Eternal City." From the begin
ning she became one of the biggest
drawing cards for Paramount. Her
artistry has marvelous depth and pow
er and she has duplicated a brilliant
stage triumph on the screen.

The certification by the adjutant

registered men under the draft law j

not so report because they enlisted
either the army, navy or marines.
They hold that their names should not
be included in the certified list.
WHAT CAUSED MIX-UP.
The adjutant general's
claims that it followed inst
making the certifications. The mix
up seems to have come about through
a failure of the county boards to check
on the forms prescribed the names <»f
those registrants who so enlisted, af
ter they had received notification or
failure to claim exemption. Under the
the department's instructions recruit
ing officers who recruited registrants
under the draft in other branches of
the service were notified to forward
notification of the fact to .the adjutant
general. The governor's office at that
time was keeping a check on the names
and as the recruiting officers forward
ed the cards showing the enlistments,
the respective county boards in which
the registrants registered were in turn
notified. The check of tTie names was
to be made on tlie lists held by the
county hoards. In many cases, it is
claimed in the adjutant general's de
partment, this was not done.
EXEMPTIONS NOT CLAIMED.
Under instructions the adjutant gen
eral's department certified to the adju
tant general of the navy the names of
all men certified up as having failed
to report for physical examination un
der the draft when surhmoned to do
so, or, later failing to report to the ad
Jutant general. Notice not being in
possession of the adjutant general of
exemption claims on the part of regis
trant who enlisted in other branches
•of the service, their names were In
cluded in the list certified as slack
ers or deserters.
The lists st) certified were given out
for publication. The proVost marshal
announced that a strenuou

would be inaugurated and to stimu

One of the typical protests received
explains the issue to some extent. It
is as follows:
THE CAPITAL NEWS,
Boise, Idaho.
Gentlemen:
The Capital News, under date of
October 2nd, contained a large list of
the names of men who were classed as
deserters, and among them a number
from Madison county.
In justice to the men and their
say that with the
exception of one, who is an alien, and
a Mexican, all the men on the list have
enlisted and are already in the service
of the government.
The. report from the local board to
the district hoard, in each vase, state
that the men have enlisted, but owing
to the misunderstanding of the rules
and regulations the men have failed to
ask exemption. The district board
and the adjutant general must under
stand the conditions and should act
accordingly.
It's a shame to have these names
repeatedly reported as deserters, while
the men were loyal enough to enter
[the service volunteerily and not wait
to be drafted.
Respectfully,
JNO. HEGSTF.D,
Clerk of the I.ocal' Board for Madi
son County.

The two standard potato grades

The government has not as yet set
a standard price on potatoes although]
Director kllred has been expecting'
such an action on the part of the food
administration. Some time ago a con- 1
ferehce was held at Pocatello by Di-j
rector Allred with the potato growers,!
shippers and representatives of thoj
railroads. It was expected that !
grading standards could be adopted
and Inspectors placed in the field but
owing to the fact government action 1
was anticipated grading standards
were not adopted.
GRADES ANNOUNCED.
Director Allred received official
tification with regard to the govern
ment standards. They are as follows:
United States grade No. 1—This
grade shall consist of sound potatoes
of similar varietal characteristics which
are practical}- free from dirt, or other
foreign matter, frost injury, sunburn,]]
