LEWISTON AG. OFFICE WILL BE DISCONTINUED
No branch office of the Idaho state department of agriculture will be maintained for the next two years at least. It was announced Tuesday by Mark A. Means, state commissioner of agriculture. The announcement was made at Boise, at the time M. L. Dean, director of the bureau of plant industry, was leaving for the northern part of the state to tell the farmers of that section just what the department proposes to do in lieu of the service here before furnished by the branch office. Mr. Dean will go direct to Lewiston, which was the headquarters of the north office.

The commissioner feels that the department can render just as efficient service to the northern farmer with the force of the Boise office without maintaining a permanent employee on the payroll for the work and he dispatched Mr. Dean to tell the farmers how to be done.

Naturally, Mr. Means said, "there have been protests from Lewiston against the discontinuance of the office here, but it is sure that after Mr. Dean lays before the farmers of the north the situation as it exists there will be no further complaint."

The funeral of the late Mrs. Emma Nelson, of Joel, was held Thursday afternoon from the First Lutheran church. Rev. A. Andre conducted the service.

Miss Florence Oherg sang.
