The Investigations of the geological
survey show that the coal properties
in Alaska cover about 1900 square
miles and that there are known to be
available about 15,O00,000,OO0 tons.
This is, however, an underestimate of
the coal in Alaska, because further de-
velopments will probably increase this
amount many times, but we can say
with considerable certainty that there
are two fields on the Pacific slope
which can be reached by railways at &
reasonable cost from deep water-in
one case of about fifty miles and in
the other case of about $50 miles
which viii afford certain 6,000O0O,OO
tons of coal, more than half of which
is Of very high grade of bituminous
and of anthracite
1t is estimated to be worth In the
ground one-half cent a ton, which
makes its value per acre from $50 to
$500. The col1ing coal lands of Penn
sylfania are worth from $500 to $1,000
an acre, while other Appalachian fields
aret worth from $40 to 1886 an acre.

T. P. Mulick, manager Of the Fargo

tanned this year. l think more of
North Dakota now than l ever did
before, for never in my life have
seen crops make such a severe strug-
gle for existence, and in most cases

ditions we underwent, would have

mates Of 45;000,00D, but I will venture
to say that man can eat out Of ais
hst from now until shutdown, all the
wheat over 20,00O,0O0 bushels that we
raise this year. This Is little bet
ter than fifth Of the normal wheat
crop.
If we'd seed the state for another
year out of the present crop, and buy
feed with the remainder, I think we
will have done mighty well. It IN
certainty that we have not raised
enough wheat for seed, feed and
bread. I
II notice that the best crops this
year lie In the western Of the state.
This is we'll for were it. otherwise,
North Dakota would have been given

VIGILANCE IS NECESSARY
valuable Hints for Eradication Of
ouack Grass.

Farmers troubled with quack grass
should write to the Minnesota Exper-
iment Station, St. Anthony Park, for
tree copy of Minnesota Press Bull
lotin No. sc, and learn something about
the destruction Of the weed. In the
meantime let them look over their
land and locate the small patches Of
Quack grass and make determined
effort to smother them with tar paper
held down with dirt. II the patches
are too large to thus smother, cult
vate the ground, dig up the grass,
shake out the roots and underground
stems carefully, and haul them from
the field and burn. A five or six-tincd
fork win be found valuable tool
IT this work. If dead, the roots and
stems may be plowed under to in
crease fertility. Look the patches
Ovsr every week TO catch any plants
that may have bsen left, o. that may
have developed since the last work or
the patch. Vigilance will e1eetualiv
eradicate the weed.
