Growinq Potatoes in Alaska

Three million people in northern Europe, it has been estimated, are now earning their livelihood by agriculture in climate and under conditions very similar to those prevailing in the Tan ana valley, Alaska It was one of the missions of the Alaska-Y Yukon. Pacific exposition in Seattle in 1909 to remind the world that instead of being all snow and ice, with gold for the pros pector and scenic wonders for the tourist, the northern territory held thousands of acres of fine farming land from which comfortable livings might be made.
 The government experiment. station at Fairbanks is carrying on this work of enlightenment, and doing a great service for the Alaska farmer in help ing him to decide what he can grow with profit and what he should leave to other climates and conditions. Cab bage, caulitlower, potatoes, turnips, let tuce, rhubarb, carrots, beets, parsnips, radishes, onions, celery, cucumbers and mushrooms have all been raised with an enormous degree of success, and market conditions are such that there is danger of the supply oVerbalanc- ing the demand. The possibility of maturing early varieties of oats, barley and fall grains has also been proved beyond further questioning.
 By far the most important work of the demonstration station has been it's experiments with potatoes. It is esti- mated that the Fairbanks district alone pays out S10O,OOO annually for tubers, nearly half of which goes to the trans. portation companies. The report of J. W. Neal, superintendent of the dem- onstration farm, points out that 100 farmers of the district might today be making 1000 each from potato patches instead of sending this sum out of Alaska
 With liberal application of fertilizer, the report declares, ten tons of pota toes per acre can be easily raised. On the experiment farm three acres of Eureka, Early Ohio and Gold Coin po- tatoes averaged six tons per acre all oyer the field on second year unfertil- ized ground. With due allowance for loss in sorting aud grading, this crop was figured at $500 per acre. The land had been cleared and put in condition for planting A, cost of S200 per acre. Adding to this the cost of cultivating, seed, planting, digging and sacking, the outlay approximated $500 an acre more than paid for by the first years crop.-Valdez Prospector.

San ancisco-Owing to an accident, the giant dredger "John McMullen," of the San Francisco Bridge Co.,, which is filling in seventy-one acres of overflow land on the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposition site, was out of com mission three or four days. The dredger has been in operation since April 12, and has been pumping silt from the bay at the rate of 12Oo0 cubic yards per day. Already great DOT tion of the overflow land has been filled and the line of pipe from the dredger now extends half mile over the expo sition site. It is figured that 10000 GU bic yards of silt is equivalent to 5000 wagon loads. As soon as this land is filled the building and grounds con- mittee will begin laying the pipes, con- duits and all other necessary sanitary arrangements for the big exposition.

The Gloomy Guest

The best man noticed that one of the wedding guests, a gloomy-looking young man, did not seem to be enjoy- ing himself. He was wandering about as though he had lost his last friend. The best man took it upon himself to cheer him up.
 "Er-have you kissed the bride?" he asked, by way of introduction.
 "Not lately" replied the gloomy one, with far away expression.

FRESHMEN QUIT
. GEORGIAN PLANT
Local Union Has No Grievance,
But Hopes to Help Strikers
in Chicago.

The men employed in the press room
of The Georgian walked out this morn
ing in response to telegram directing
them to do so from President Berry, of
the International Printing Pressmen's
union. The men had agreed at the
meeting held two days ago to obey Mr..
Berry's call for sympathetic strike on
account of the pressmen's strike in Chi
cago This morning Mr.. Berry sent a
strike order to all the Hearst newspaper
press rooms in New York, Boston, Chi
cage, San Francisco, Los Angeles and
Atlanta
The men in Atlanta. as in the other
cities where the sympathetic strike, was
ordered, nave absolutely no grievance.
On the contrary they are violating a
solemn contract which does not expire
until next September. The Georgian
mas always been fair to labor and is abb
solutely without fault in this strike.
The strike, as stated. is directed only
at the Hearst newspa pers in order, If
possible to bring enough pressure on
Mr. Hearst to induce him to yield in
Chicago.
The Typographical union and the
Stereotypers union have no part in the
strike and performed their duties on
today's paper as usual

of the board in prohibiting the Sunday
swimming in Piedmont park lake. Five
of the board members are firmly OPP
posed to it, Mayor Winn, the twelfth
member is inclined to vote for the Sab
bath plunge.
That public interest in this Sunday
sport has reached a high degree is
shown by the balloting at the United
Cigar Companys store at the corner
of Peachtree and Decatur streets. More
than 300 votes We're cast there today
and the keeper of the ballot box says
that approximately 80 per cent of the
votes are for Sunday bathing
The line-up in the board is For Sun
day bathing, Cochran, Wildly, NanHou-
ten. Pitts. Reynolds Pickett and prob
ably Mayor Vim. Against it, Bur
nett. Bond, Anderson, Thomson and
Young
Since the last vote Commissioner
Frank Reynolds has Topped from the
anti-Sunday swimmers and Commits
sioner NJ. B. Young has changed to
them Mayor VIM says he was not
present at the meeting and is not fa-
miliar with the new issue. but that he
is inclined to favor well regulated Sun
day bathing. In fact. only nine of the
twelve members were present at the
meeting which voted that nothing but
strolling should be permitted in the
city parks on Sunday.
Following the action of the Fedora
ton of Trades in adopting resolutions
urging the Sunday privilege of Sunday
bathing union men all over the city are
strong for it. They are among those
taking the most prominent interest in
the balloting.
On the other hand. one faction is
urging that the Sabbath should be held
more sacred and that the city govern
ment should not countenance practice
for which almost every man in Atlanta
has been whipped in boyhood. Another
objection is that there was too much
disorder at the park on Sundays when
swimming was permitted last year.
Police Chief Beavers has informed
Commissioner Cochran that he will al
ways have enough policemen present
TO enforce the best of order. Besides
the popularity Of the lake last summer,
the members point to the greatly i'm
proved facilities this year. and say that
it will be very difficult to keep people

listers will preach and choirs will sing
in praise of maternity.
The request has been made that all
persons who can shall wear roses or
carnations, but many have chosen other
snowy blossoms because these were
their mothers favorite flowers.
The boxes placed in the hotels, clubs
and other public places about the city
offer another firing means of observing

that source will be devoted to the en-
Ilargement of the Home for Old Women

Mrs. Longstreet Says Survey
Shows 100 Acres More Be-
long to the State.

According to Mrs. Helen D. Long
street. president of the, Tallulah Falls
Conservation association. the Koch sur
vey of the gorge area in the Tallulah
river will show that a larger tract be-
longs to the people of Georgia than
had ever been contended by the most
radical conservationist.
Mrs. Longstreet is confident that the
survey. which she mas reviewed with
Professor Strahan of the university and
her attorneys. Spencer Atkinson and
George Napier, indicates clearly that
more than 100 acres in the gorge Of the
Tallulah river have never been granted
to any one by the state of Georgia.
"The tract we will claim as a result
Of the survey" said Mrs. Longstreet,
'is 100 acres in the gorge opposite Lot
II in the Fifth district of Rabun county
This 100 acres has never even been
surveyed and could not have been
granted by the state. There are SINH
lar tracts which belong to the state in
the grand chasm"
r. l.. ellis, member of the legislature
from Tiff county and active in the fight
to save Tallulah Falls, called on the
governor today to urge the claim Of the
associa ton against the Georgia Rail
way and Power Comapny.

eral. and his opinion IS not expected by
