WHY THE YOUTHS COMPANION SHOULD BE IN EVERY FAMILY

of l could take only one paper" said the late Mr. Justice Brewer, of the su preme court, "it would be The Youth's Companion-a little bit of everything in nutshell, and uu bia ed" The Com panion is a family paper in the com pletest sense. It provides reading that, without failing to interest the young, stil interests the mature. 1t unites young and old through their common enjoyment of delightful fiction, agree able miscellany, and the clear expo sition of public questions.
 So carefully is it edited, so varied are it's contents, that it would easily supply a family with entertaining fiction, up- to date information and wholesome fun, if no other periodical entered the house.
 If you are not familiar with The Com panion as it is today, let us send you sample copies and the Forecast for 1915.

Growing Seed

Among the industries which will without doubt grow up in the North land in the years to come is that of producing farm and garden seed, which will uature rapidly in localities where the seasons are longer, but quick re turns are nevertheless desired. Iu the annual report of the Alaska experiment stations we find the following state ment, touching on this interesting subject:
 In the summer of 1913, 28 or 30 pounds of turnip seed was grown at Rampant Station from selected roots. Iu plumpness and appearance this seed is better than the average of com mercial turnip seed. Nowhere on earth are better turnips grown than in Alaska, and it is we'll known fact that northern grown seed of nearly all kinds of vegetables has greater vitality and produces better crops than seed grown in the south This successful experiment therefore opens up vista of possible seed farms which may in the future be located in various regions of the interior. The seed should find a ready market iu the States.
 And this is true not only of turnip seed. Several varieties of garden peas have been perpetuated for number of years at Rampant station by home grown seed. By permitting the earliest

Rabbits Become a Pest

Among the islands which constitute the Alexander archipelago, in fact, throughout the greater portion of Southeastern Alaska, rabbits are uu. known, in wild state. Several at- tempts have been made in recent years to "plant" them on the islands, but the success of the undertaking is still in doubt. However, they are plentiful around Haines and in parts of the Iu- terior country, SO much SO that in many places they become a pest. Prof. ] C.C Georgeson, special agent in charge of the United States government ex- pertinent stations in Alaska, in his an nual report for 1913 says:
 Rabbits did much damage to the crops. They have increased SO rapidly of late years throughout the interior that they have become a serious pest. Whole fields of grain were eaten off as close as if they had been cut with a mower. There were literally thousands of them. One could not walk along the helds, especially near the edge of the timber, without eucouutoring them by the score. Several farmers in the Fair banks district lost the greater part of their crops from this pest, and the ex pertinent station also suffered severely. Nothing could be done to abate this nuisance except to build rabbit proof fences arodud the fields, which would be out of the question on account of the expense. Tue country is too large aud the settlers too few to make it practicable to make war on them, even by concerted action; and the timber and bushes afford hiding places for them which would frustrate attempts at rabbit drives But nature will pro- vide a remedy. Many ofthem were ap. parently afflicted with some contagious disease which killed off great nun bers, and it is thought that they will not be so numerous next year.

pods 10 mature it is possible for any one to grow pea seed successfully, as is done at the station. This question of seed production is of vital importance. The experiments in this line will not ouly be continued but extended to the limit that circumstances will permit.

REPUBLICANS Will REPLACE
NUMEROUS MEMBERS Of
OPPOSITE PARTY
WILSON STILL CLAIMS IT.
SAYS RETURNS INDICATE THAT
DEMOCRACY WILL HAVE A
MAJORITY OF 10

Washington, Nova 4-Although IS
congressional districts were still un-
heard from at noon today democratic
leaders here were confident that the
administration will retain control of
congress, although the majority in the
house might be cut from its present
strength Of 141 to as low as % or 80.
After a conference of national demo-
cratic committee officials at the
White House with president Wilson
and Secretary Tum ty it was esti-
mated the democrac rasiority might
possibly stand at democratic
majority in lAe senate was &
at ten.
The varying representations of the
senate contests in Nevada, California
Kansas and Colorado gave no promise
of eight. Reports of the national dem
ocratic committee were said to indi-
cate the election of James d. PheIan
of California to succeed Senator Per-
kins, a republican, and the reelection
of Senators Newlands and Thomas in
Nevada and Colorado In Kansas a
close contest for the seat of Senator
Bristow seemed to be between Muir
dock and former Senator Curtis, re-
publican, leaving Representative Neel-
ey, the democratic candidate, behind.
At noon with the IS congressional
districts missing the election Of 1856
democrats and 1862 republicans and
three progressiyes was reported
The present complexion of the
house is 2S5 democrats 1923 republi-
cans and II progressives. and six va
cancies.
The noon ~eturns showed a gain Of
80 republicans. Although districts in
New York, six in Pennsylvania, 12 in
Missouri 10 in Minnesota, eight in
California and others were reported.
Tt takes 21S for majority in the
house. To fulfill the prediction Of
the democratic leaders of majority
it is necessary for IS Of the unreport-
ed districts to be democratic. They
are claimed by the leaders.
