...University of Idaho's Edward F. Rinehart, 70, expert animal husbandman of the university's extension service and senior counselor to the state's sheepmen and cattlemen. Since he first arrived in Idaho in 1912, "Riney" has come to know as much about the grazing lands and livestock history of the state as any man alive, laid the groundwork for Idaho's bull-grading system, kept his scattered clientele well supplied with learned but simple reports. Traveling by car, train and horse, he became a familiar figure in the barns and ranch houses of Idaho...
...problems right away. The country's wool is selling well, but its wheat must compete against other countries' surpluses, and its famous herds of cattle have been depleted by drought. The country's left-of-center, welfare-state laws provide subsidies for both wheat farmers and cattlemen, although the public debt is already $387 million-high for a country of only 2,500,000 people.

Legally the cattlemen might have had a hard time collecting; chemical tests on dead cattle rarely show the naphthalene because the fatal quantities are so minute. Furthermore, since most feed contracts are on a handshake basis-with no writ ten guarantee of purity-the company might have squirmed out from under...
...choice for lieutenant governor: Cowboy Pink Williams, 62, a rancher (1,100 acres) who virtually rode into office on a three-letter word* banned from the mails as obscene. Last summer Williams got embroiled with the Post Office for mailing 300,000 comic postcards that pictured a donkey kicking "cattlemen who voted for Ike." He cashed in on the publicity, legally changed his name from James Pinckney to Cowboy Pink Williams, and campaigned against veteran (six terms) Lieutenant Governor James Berry with the slogan: "It's Berry canning time...
