Gov. “Charlie” Moore, Idaho’s
“dirt farmer” governor, shown here,
hails with' delight the return of
horseshoe pitching as a. popular
sport because he once was a cham-
pion. He is going to try again and
is to .pitch against Gov. Pierce of
Oregon at Nampa. Idaho, Sept. 18-
where the Idalio-Oregon tourna-
ment for the Western championship
is scheduled. “Horseshoe pitching
is to my liking.” says Gov. Moore,
“it is a good sport and I am glad to
see it returning to popularity.
Horseshoe pitching takes people into
the o|«en and trains their eyes and
muscles.”

Jack County Calves Make Good
Record
One of the outstanding Friday
sales was twenty head of year-
lings brought in by J. M. Blood-
worth of Jack County, weighing
529 pounds, which sold to Swift
& Co. at $8.
Classified by weight, these will
be entered as yearlings, but The
Reporter learned from Mr. Blood-
worth that these ealves were
bred by him and will average
about eight months. Topping the
market gives no new thrills to Mr.
Bloodworth. In fact, it is a well
established habit and he would be
keenly disappointed should he fail
to so register. ‘ >
Upon inquiry as to how this
shipment had been handled Mr.
Bloodworth said: ‘‘I eaked their
mothers on the grass through the
winter and up to May 1, since
that time their grass ration has
been supplemented with green
cane. The sale best speaks for
the result of my plan or manner
of handling.
