new way of planting and he gave it a

new way of planting and he gave it a
test and the result was marvellous. He
dug trench eight inches wide about
the same depth and twenty-five feet
long. He first covered the bottom OF
the trench with soft dirt and then laid
in his cut potatoes, eyes upward and
six inches apart. He then covered
them with four inches of dirt, leaving
the surface perfectly smooth. That
was all he did to them He did not
hill them up and in the little hoeing
they received he was very careful to
keep well away from the vines so as
not to disturb any Of the runners. He
has just dug this twenty-five feet OF
potatoes and he secured by weight
three and one-half bushels. Now he
has made careful computation and
he says that at this rate had he plant
ed an acre, he would have raised S37
bushels. His method will be tried
out by good many farmers in this
locality next year.

 'We have no use for the church.' In very few places, none that I know of, have the churches come to be self sup porting in these thirty years of settle ment.

in most towns, and while Douglas Is land more than maintains it's numbers, there is a constant change of people who compose its population. Few feel that they have found home in Alas ka. It will do for while, till one ac cumulates sufficient for home or an enterprise somewhere else-but there are few who work to establish them selves and to build up the communities they live III. Alaska IS largely eoun- try of transients, and this has no little to do with it's peculiar governmental problems. Yet there is no place which offers so good chance for working man to make more than living the year round than Treadwell. There is no lack of modern convenienees and comforts, and while the climate is a drawback to some, it does not "pun- ish' the people as does that of many of the Northern states.
 And yet Douglas Island is not a place of permanent homes. There are things lacking which you had at home somewhere else. I have seen it stated latey lthat there is real connection in agricultural communities between the condition of their churches and the prosperity and permanence of the pop ulation. The communities which neg feet their church or have none, do not take root and become socially develop ed believe the same is true of many places in Alaska, especially of our own

 The editor of the Sourdough is one of those in the comparatively small number, who love Alaska, who expects it to be his final home He recognizes however, that the majority of the read CTS of the Sourdough are here only to grab the dollar and to go.
 This may be the last sermon which will be printed in the Sourdough, and then again it may not. The Sourdough will always have space for the man who has an earnest theory of how to make Alaska "home,' whether it is written by preacher or not
 There are sermons and sermons. The editor of the Sourdough long since lost the church going habit, but occassionly sermons are preached which are alive. This is one of them. It was preached by Rev. G. N. Edwards a week ago last Sunday night after two years of effort to build up church n Douglas, and after he made up his mind to go out. However many of the readers of the sourdough will d ee with tbia preacher, nearly all of them will find it mighty interesting reading.
