A bill has been introduced in congress to give the president power to fix rates of duty arbitrarily to prevent slumping markets against its own supply and incidentally protect western growers.
The work of the Boston Wool Trading association is to be broadened during the coming season and the warehousing system is to be continued for the protection of the growers. Under that system, the grower consigns his wool to where it is sorted, graded, and baled, and then sold for him or guaranteed samples in some thirty varieties.
The grower gets all there is in his wool and has every incentive to grade up his flocks and permanently improve his holdings, while the evils of speculation are eliminated.
SURVEY IN IDAHO LANDS
Work of the Service Cost Half Million Dollars
Frank S. Spofford, assistant supervisor of surveys, announced Thursday that in the past seven years through the general land office 113,000 miles of public lands in Idaho have been surveyed at a cost of $515,000. On an average, 15 surveying crews have been sent out each year. The general land office parties have surveyed in 500 different townships. Records of the work accomplished date to seven years ago, when the direct system of surveying by the government went into effect and all private contract surveys were discontinued.
Mr. Spofford said Thursday, "The greater portion of the agricultural land in Idaho has been surveyed. One third of the total area of the state is in forest reserves, where there are 500 townships unsurveyed."
