AIsska's commercial development hss been greatly hlndered by the gen erI miscouceptiOn of the climatic con dguons and the general resources of the district. Throughout the States In past year Alaska has been cOnsid- cred a snow clad waste with no in- dustry save gold mining. and that only to be pursued under hardships that would daunt all but the most hardy. This prevailing mlscOucepttOn has kept people away from Alaska and made its development slow.
 Thanks to tbe AasEa.Yukon.Paci- lie exposition and the agitation in the eastern magazines and newspapers concerning the Alaska coal land cases ne territory has been given a wide spread publicity which has done much Co remove the ignorance Of the true state Of affairs in the north:-the mud climate of Southeastern Alaska and the Westward. and the fertile valleys Of the interior that only await development and the countless com merclaI opportunities that exist. There .s stI room for considerable mission ary work. however, and The Alaskan was the first paper in the north to point out that wide spread publicity could only be attained and sustained through the creation Of a publicity bureau that would dissemanate inform auon concerning the resources and latent possibilities of the Northland. More than a year ago The Alaskan advocated this plan and showed ex, acuy how it would be certain to prove a paying investment

A large part OF the gooseberry crop
is picked while the berries are hard
and green. long before they have
reached full size which makes II pos
sible to ship to distant markets in
common carriers. The picking of our
American sorts is a tedious, slow and
rather unought task, but the large
English varieties, on account OF their
size and few thorns. are comparative
ly easy to gather. II first class. fine
large berries are desired, the bearing
wood Of the plants must never be per-
mitted to become old, weak or inact-
i've. The essential thing is to keep
the wood vigorous and not permit
1t to accumulate In excess of the
amount that a plant can thoroughly
support. Weak growing plants and
shoots should be severely cut back
to compel strong growth. Since II
is impracticable to practice regular
fruit thinning Of gooseberries. a sys-
TEN Of thinning when pruning should
be practiced. This is accomplished
by reducing the number of bearing
canes from the large number usually
found TO from eight to eighteen. de-
pending entirely upon the vigor of
the plant. A shoot should not be per-
mitted to bear more than four crops
of fruit. after which its place should
be taken by a younger and more pro-
fitable cane. The pruning may be
done in the summer after the crop
is harvested. but best results have
been secured by very early spring
pruning which induces more vigorous
wood growth. The common method
of marketing gooseberries here In the
west is in 24-quart crates. and while
1t is a little more expensive than the
basket or nat box. yet 1t places the
fruit on the market In first class con-
dition and nearly always gives bet
ter prices than any other method.

The institute is growing in inter-

WHY sALvEs FAIL
10 CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores-only q Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory OF
curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists.
many different saives have been
tried for skin diseases. But IL has
been found that these saives only
clog the pores and can not penetrate
to the inner skin below the cpider-
mis- where the eczema germs ere
lodged.
This-the quail y OF penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil Of wintergreen as
compounded In d. d. ID. Prcscrip-
tion. After ten years of cure after
cure, the worlds leading skin spe-
cialists have accepted this as the
true eczema cure.

The various field crops yield near

ia has occupied the land as before.
A crop of alfalfa turned under IL
worth ten tons Of sugar beets TO the
acre. Since alfalfa thus has such q
marked beneficial effect on the crop
that follows 1t may also be used In
rotation. Alfalfa should not be kept
permanently on the land but plowed
up at intervals and other crops such
as small grain. potatoes and sugar
beets should be grown in rotation
with IT. A certain amount Of alfalfa
should be plowed up every year and
and the same amount seeded down.
Such a system will mean more pro-
fitable farms. The rotation may be q
five to eight plan or longer. Alfalfa
should occupy the land at least three
years as three seasons are required

The American association OF
nurseymen which held forth in Dem
yer last week took a rather radical
stand against the time worn custom Of
replacing trees that do not grow. We
always think of Boonewell when such
subjects come up and have to laugh
right out in meeting. The nursery
men declared that honesty in selling
and care in packing and shipping are
what is needed and there will be no
reason for this obsolete system OF
setting new trees to replace the dead
ones. We as planters would have no
complaint on this score II the growers
would ship us stock direct from the
nursery row instead of keeping 1t In
cold storage all winter then send
ing It out to US as freshly plowed
stuff The only replacing we have to
ask OF nurserymen at presen; Is 10
eliminate some OF the packers and re-
place honest men for them. Then too
II the nurserymen could only arrange
to send out few ounces of brains
with every pack we would hear less
complaint about dead trees for II must
be said In all seriousness that not
every man knows how to plant tree
So that 1t will grow.

In growing peaches much Of the

additional hand thinning Is absolute

to average box OF fruit to the tree

the yield should increase at the rate
of about two boxes to the tree yearly.
Unless the trees have been excep-

they will rarely more than hold their
