FERTILE ALASKA ISLAND
rIiddleton Farmers Raise Vegetables
 With Remarkable Success.

Middleton island, a short distance south of Prince William sound, is ad- vertised by the farmers who live upon ir as almost an Eden, considering its northern location. Vegetables are raised there with remarkable success. A resident writes to Prof. c. c. George gesOn, chief of the agricultural experi- ment stations of Alaska, the following description:
 Middleton island is the finest in Alaska. We are past experimenting and can raise anything they can raise in the temperate zone. Last summer we gathered four pounds of rutabaga seeds from volunteers we left in the garden all winter, and our cabbage has grown all winter in the garden. The coldest weather we have had was 20 degrees above zero, the warmest n. The deepest snow was fourteen inches, lasting only twenty days. Last winter we had no snow, and grass was green all winter. Middleton is the finest stock island in Alaska, but unfortu- nately is forty-fve to sixty miles from the nearest land, thirty-fve miles out of the steamer course, and we have no harbor to keep boat. With trans portation We could furnish this part of Alaska with potatoes.

it is something certainly unique.
There are 100 advertisements

Fables, twenty clever letters
twenty strong displays; twenty
bright ones in rhyme and twenty
''Gowan's Philosophy" All in
all there was never sent out by
any company such a strong. forcl-

know that there is money made

A Happy Thought.

The Stanly Enterprise of last
week has tho following to say to
those who intend to celebrate
Christmas, or any other time, in
Salisbury:
"The saloon sympathizers of
Salisbury boast of the fact that
that town has won it's unenvlable
reputation for drunkenness from
visitors from other counties and
towns who come there and dis
grace (?) the place. And the
mayor the other day emphasized
this point to some outsiders who
took on a little bit too much
BOOZE, and such v%iolators were
given warning that they would be
''pulled" OF every opportunity,
We have no disposition to argue
this matter with Salisbury friends
nor to defend those fellows who
20 there and get drunk. But we
would like to urge our citizens
who feel that they have to imbibe
for any cause, and who may visit
Salisbury, that they do SO like
sober citizens and that they be
not called upon to pay BOOZE
counter fines. It goes without
saying thas the man who can
spend the holidays BY letsins
liquor entirely alone will not only
feel better in the end, but his
family will share more of the
happiness the season should
bring. Cut it ont, boys!"

IMPROVING FARM METHODS.
Doing 4 Highly Important Work in Eight
Cga.iies Of This State

A work which has for its object
the improvement of farming
methods with a view to increasing
the crop producing power of the
soil is being conducted in this vi
cinity by agents of the Department
of Agriculture of the national
government. It is known as the
farmers cooperative demonstra-
tive work. Eight counties in this
State have been selected IN which
the work shall be begun. These are
Mecklenburg, Iredell, Cabarrus,
Union, Rowan, Catawba, CASTOR
and Lincoln.
The method of this work is dem
o~rtrative, more than experiment
tai. The farmers are given the
benefit Of past experiments. The
local agent who is appointed for
each county visits those who de-
sire it and starts them off in the
utilization of the new methods
which have been found to be very
productive Of good results in actual
operation. These have to do
mainly with the preparation of
the soil in such q way a. TO pre-
serve the soil moisture. These
consist largely in early blowing
in the fall and frequent shallow
cultivation.
Most of the efforts, practically
all, centre on two crops, corn and
cotton. The farmers who accept
the governments offer are either
co-operators or demontrators.
The latter keep 2 record of the
results obtained aud make reports
to the government. DR.. S. A.
Knapp, Of Lake Charles, La, is
special agent for she South, while
G. R, Hudson, Of Alabama, is
agent for North Carolina.
This work carried Oh by the gov
eminent, and under government
auspices is, in realty, financed by
the General Educational Board, of
New York, that wealthy organlza'
ton of philanthropists. The
movement had it's inception il
fighting the boil weevil. The
most effective method was foune
in an early planting of cotton
which would mature the boil be
fore the weevil attacked it. Ou'
of this grew the discoveries which
this work is endeavorlng to give
