TRUCK FARMS IN ALASKA.
Some Far North Riches for patien, Cultivators-Prices of Produce
 Very High.

Washington.-"How would you like to be a truck farmer in Alaskan"
 This is hypothetical question asked by the Unitetd States Depart ment of Agriculture In an official report from the department the oues, tion and the answer are included. The report says:
 Would you care to run truck farm with strawberries selling at s1.s5 to g quart. cucumbers 8 to $5 a dozen, celery 50 cents each. tomatoes 30 cents to s1 pound and other prod. ucts at proportionate prices? Or would you prefer general farming. with few pigs and chickens as side line. with hay selling at s60 to s10o a ton, hogs 30 cents a pound young pigs 75 cents a pound and eggs 's2 a dozen?
 These prices are received in Alas. ka under favorable market conditions. but the prospective settler should con. sider the difficulties and expense of farming as we'll as the high prices of his products.
 Alaska Is not generally given much consideration from an agricultural standpoint and yet, despite the rigor. ous climate. a large variety of grains. small fruits and vegetables are being successfully grown. Experiments are being made with tree fruits. but the results thus far have not been very encouraging. The work conducted by the government with grains at the Rampant experiment station has been an unqualified success. Varieties of nearly all grains have been found that gr0w well

The land will be put into all kinds
of grain and feed crops, alfalfa, fruit
and truck gardening on an immense
scale.
The men who are behind this move
are all men with years of practical
farm work at the A. and M. College,
which assures the success Of this inn
mense undertaking.
They have purchased for starter
a grubbing and blowing outfit con-
sisting of a As break and % nominal

manufactured at Charles City, Iowa,

of the B. F. Avery & Son manufac-
ture, also a 14.inch disc pillow of the
same firm. With the first they can
grub and pillow seven acres day and
with the latter they can plow twenty
acres every ten hours.
Messrs. Edward Jansen, of Wichita,
Kansas, was here to oversee the work
ing of the engine and Chas. T. Ray
of Dallas, to look after and adjust the
plows. They made demonstration of
the work they could do at the dry
farm experimental station on land
covered by mesquite, sage brush

shrubbed. They plowed right along
with the gang pillow. grubbing and

He had great power over the beg and

in Tunis Of four large anchors which
probably belonged to some old men-of-
war abandoned on account Of stress of

means of the labor of 500 Arabs he
had the anchors dragged from runis

Protection

News from Easton, Pa, that John w.
Dobbins. founder of the Atlantic League,
Is back of another league that would like
to embrace Wilmington in it's territory,
provided it could get protection by so do
ing. gives rise to tho opinion that the Tri-
State League yet claims Wilmington as
its territory and that protection cannot
come 10 any professional team that comes
here until the Tri-Staters release the ter
rtbory. 1t is felt however, that Dobbins
WA pass up the protection feature and
stay away for other reasons, chief of
which is that Wilmington has been wit
Messing better baseball and semi-profes-

New Castle County League has been put

with or without protection. II is almost
certain that the league managers would
not find Wilmington a paying town for
them. Past experience has demonstrated
that county league ball has been OF higher
quality than Atlantic League exhibitions.
and now that the fans are accustomed to
the home product, and have endorsed It
