ALFALFA CROP

It has at last been demonstrated .ha alfalfa can be successfully grown in Skagway. Fred Doree this sum, mer has a fine crop of the grass on streets The plot is a small one, but judging by the stand of grass it would run about five tons to the acre.
 Alfalfa is the very best kind of hay and two crops a year can be cut.
 With the presnt price of feed in Alaska q twenty acre field of alfalfa should be about as good an invest ment as q placer claim.

WETTEST JULY FUR YEARS;
 FACTS ABOUT OUR CLIMATE

Statistics carefully collected by Mir. and Mrs. II. D. Clark on their ranch across the river show that the month of July just passed was the wettest known in Skagway in the past seven years since records have been kept.
 In July, 1909, 2.4S inches of rain fell in Skagway, whereas the average precipitation of July for the past six years has been less than O.SO inches.
 June, 1909, was not a wet month. The total precipitation last June was O.6S inches; whereas the average pre- cipitation for June in the past six years was O.9S inches.
 For the past six years the average annual precipitation in Skagway Gin cluding snOwfalD has been 22.4S inch es.
 The highest anl al precipitation was in 1906 when 27,11 inches fell.
The daily Alaskan., 1909-08-19

The lowest annual precipitation was in 1905 when only l72o fell.
 January, February, Ia"2h. April, May and June are the dryest mon.hs. October, November and December are the months in which the most pre- cipitation comes.

PORCUP|NE HAS
 GREAT FUTURE

Charles Harvey, mining man anG capitalist from Boston, arrived in Skagway yesterday from Conrad and will sail south on the Princess May tonight. For the past month MT. liar vey has been inspecting property at Porcupine and Conrad in which he is interested. He also has mines in Arizona and Nevada.
 After a personal inspection of the Porcupine Gold Mining company's property. Mir. Harvey purchased some additional stock. He is very enthus- isstIc over the Porcupine mine.
 We originally estimated that 1t would pay about S3 a yard" said Mir. Harvey, but the cleanups this year have been nearer s a yard. And the farther up the creek We go the better Ire ground Is becoming. Most of the time this year has been devoted tu dead work, but the mine has paid expenses all summer. The bed rock Hume will soon be finished and then things will hum. I see no req son why the Porcupine mine cannot be worked for twenty-five years. Next year the mine will handle about 900 yards of gravel a day"

Smaller Farms in Virginia.

Virginia farmers are ceasing to be land
poor and are becoming crop rich. They
are seeing the fallacy of the old agricul-
tliral;order, which bid a man to scrape
the surface of many acres on broomsedge
farms and give little attention TO dozen
fields. They are discovering that the in
tensive cultivation OF score of acres or
so is more profitable than the extensive
neglect of a thousand. They are putting
into the bank profits which were formerly
charged to the other side of the ledger as
taxes. This resolution, pointed out by
the Times Dispatch some weeks ago in
citing the increase in the number Of small
farms, has likewise attracted the attention
OF the esteemed Virginia Citizen. In its
last issue the newspaper points out how
a section of Prince William has beer
transformed by division into small farms.
A colony of Dunkards from the valley,
says the Citizen, settled around Manassas
and bought many acres of run down ne
elected farm lands They divided them
into small tracts and applied TO them the
best principles OF intensive farming. AS
a result "worn o." lands are today yield
ing magnificent crops, wilderness has
been reclaimed and farm values have been
more than trebled,
This lesson cannot be too strongly i'm
pressed on farmers: Virginia lands today,
after more than 300 years of cultivation,
will yield as bountiful crops as virgin soil,
if cultivated closely and skillfully.
If they are neglected, and if they are
farmed on a large scale by insufficient
labor, they cannot be expected to afford
more than a bare living for their unhappy
owners.
Examples of the latter system are seen
everywhere, in dilapidated farm houses
lean stock and barren fields.
Examples of the other sort can be seen
in other places than the Dunkard district

Potomac Shad.

During the fast fiscal year more fish and
fish eggs were distributed by the Bureau
of Fisheries than ever before in its history.
The number was 3,ll7, 30l ,535.
Commissioner Bowers has found him
self face to face with the contingency that
in the near future the Pacific coast may
be called on to reStock the Potomac river
and its tributaries with shad. Only few
years ago Shad were taken from the Poto-
mac and planted in the Sacramento river,
where they are now more plentiful than
on the Atlantic coast.
The commissioner is having prepared
maps showing the extent to which nets
are planted along the Potomac and its
tributaries for catching the Shad as they
return from the salt water OF the CheSa-
peake bay to the fresh water in which they
spawn. SO great has been the onslaught
upon the fish as they attempt to reach their
spawning ground that, nspite OF all efforts
of the bureau to plant eggs, the catch is
constantly decreasing. Now only about
35, 0OO,0O0 eggs are planted annually, al
though in orderto maintain the industry on
a proper basis Mr.. Bowers believes the
number should be atleaSt 200, 0OO, 900. The
Chesapeake bay supplies much OF the
entire eastern market with Shad. and
unless effective regulations can be en-
forced Mr.. Bowers believes that within
few years the famous Potomac Shad will
be exhausted.
Mr.. Bowers will appeal TO the States OF
Maryland and Virginia for legislation TO
make it possible for this great industry TO
continue.
