Small crops often prove q blessing

bad thing for the general run Of farm,

writer a full crop OF potatoes when
prices are high. as they have been this
rear. will net higher profits per acre
than any other crop that we can grow
and even a three-auarters crop should
yield 4 profit sufficient to pay BIC
wages Therefore we find plenty OF
growers not at all discouraged over the
past seasons results On the contrary.
they are more convinced than ever that
there is money in potatoes, but more
especially in Intensive. modern culture.
One such season in the past is enough

So much for a few Of the little.

So much for a few Of the little
things which most of us may do.
Many others will occur to US as we
become more interested and look
about toasee what can De done.
There is one thing which some. of
our citizens might do, or cause to be
dope, which would add to the APP
pearance of their homes than any
one thing I know Of, namely, the
LAYING Of sidewalks nfront of their
property. A cement walk would be
fine, Of course, and pay well, no
doubt, but some people cannot af-
ford that 1t would seem, however,
that n zone who can own his home
might afford board walk in front
OF it. 1t is a matter not only Of
pride but actual comfort and conve-
nience. ! wonder-if we realize how
much our little city might be inn
proved in this respect?
And one suggestion | would like
to make to the street committee of
our city council: There are some
places. notably one on Mill street,
where the 5culverts are SO placed
that they do not properly carry off
the water, and the result is that we
have miserable mud holes much of
the time in some OF our best streets.
Can we not have this matter at
tended to?

Seed Potatoes.

Potatoes that have been kept by
banking with earth should not be dis
turbed in the spring until about the
last Of April. They may then be taken
from the bank and may be stored in a
cellar or dark corner OF the barn un-
til about one week before planting
time. Then they should be spread upon
the ground where they viii be fully ex-
posed to the sunlight. This viii cause
the buds to make a strong, vigorous
growth. which is not broken of when
the tubers are planted. Permitting the
buds thus 20 start greatly facilitates
growth after planting The Cornell on.
Y.l station has found this method Of
procedure to work well. much better
than when seed tubeN are stored In
cellars or where they are banked Inn
mediately after digging.

Having marked this position of the
plumb line, the triangle is reversed SO
that the end B rests on the peg where

angie with the first line marked on the
board, then the correct position will be
exactly in the middle between these
two lines. This point should be per-
manently marked ON the board B D.
In using the triangle when the plumb
line passes through this point the base
of the triangle will be level.

AGRICULTURE IN LASKA. 81

sAeIkelCuLIUlE In NgAlASkAs8S
Few persons have written
with so much ent thusiasm Of
the agric ultural possibilities
of5Alaska as g. C. Georgeson Of
Sitka, the special agent Of the
Department OF Agric culture in
charge Of Alaska investiga4
tions. The results Of his stud
les, extending1over years, have
convinced him that agriculture
may be developed on a large
scale and that this work will
vastly enhance the value of
the other great resources of the
Territory.
In an article written for the
National Geographic Magazine
Mr.. Georgeson says thatsa trav-
feller may. go. from one end Of
!. the Yukon to the other in SUM
mer without seeing snow. On
the other hand, vegetation,
large forests and such delica
Icies as wild raspberries, red
currants, huckleberries and
Ecranberries will be found in
Hprofusion.
In places the grass grows as
high as mans head. Desir-
ing to photograph some ma
tive cattle at Holy Cross Mis-.
sion he asked that they be.
turned into a meadow reserved
for hay. To his surprise the
cattle were. entirely out of sight
when they got into the grass.
Mr.Georgeson mentions thir-
ty or forty places along the
coast, at the Sitka and Kena1
experiment stations and at
many points in the interior
where all of the cereals Of the
temperate zone, most of the
vegetables and a considerable.
variety of cultivated flowers
have been grown with much
success for several years. The
Chamber Of Commerce at Daw-
son exhibits fine barley, oats
and wheat that have been
grown there.
AS fine spring wheat as one
could wish to see has been
raised at Sitka for three years
past. At Rampant, s. degrees
north latitude, winter rye sown
in the fall came out in the
spring in perfect condition
| though the temperature fell to
| 20 degrees below zero in the
winter; the grain matured by
| the first of August. Barley
I.sown in May of 1901 was ripe
!, by the middle Of August. Oats
and potatoes thrive III many
places.
Cattle are kept at every con-
lssiderable settlement, except at
| Nome The Alaska CONNER
fcia1 Company has for many
years kept cattle, sheep and
| Angora goats at Kokiak, they
requiring but little feed or shell
ter, except in an occasional
storm during winter.
/ In Mr.. Georgeson S opinion
| Alaska can furnish homesteads
tof $50 acres each to 100000 fam-
| lilies. She has abundant re
sources to support a popula-
ton of at least 100000 per-
i sons.
At present settlers can get
title to land only at a prohibit
tive cost and Alaska will not
be settled as long as this condi-
ton prevails, Stock raising
must be a leading branch of
/ Alaska farming and 32O acres
of land is the least amount
| which a settler should have to
make farming a success.
Agriculture flourishes In Fin
land; but the conditions in
Alaska are more favorable than
those in Finland. for the agri-
cultural area is larger and the
/ summers are somewhat warm
er and mines will yield the
best possible home markets.
! When the fishing and mining
industries are developed they
will require the labors of many
thousands of persons who
must.be fed in large part from
/ Alaska farms.

When clover is soWn early in the
spring on the crop of wheat or other
winter grain, it may cost nothing but
the price of the seed, which is not
much. whether ten or fifteen pounds is
used to the acre, and the la Dor of sow
ing. yet we would prefer to increase it's
cost by going over the wheat with a
light or smoothing harrow before sow
ing the clover seed, says American Gull
tivator. This will benefit wheat or rye
if done at the right time, when the
ground is not wet enough to cause the
harrow to sink too deep and uproot the
plants. This makes a good seed bed for
the clover. and in day or two after
the first rain the little plants will be
sending their roots down into the soil.
