 But Alaska may be said to be in the pfirnsfy stass in the development of many of her resources and the knowledge that 'anAy bs opened to her when the kreatest advancement oi every line will bs uhfolded in 1S1S cen not be measured. While Alaska may gain from these things she may also gain thousands of Desirable citizens by her displays. An incrsass in pop ulatien Of fo.eoo scattered over her broad area is what she most dssirss.
 The completion of the 1000 miles of government railway should follow quickly after the last months of the Panama Pacific international exposi- tion and Alaska will then be fully prepared to receive her new citizens.

The Panama Pacific international exposition will draw the citizens of Alaska to the worlds new center of art industry and progress and 1t will send the citizens of the world to AL aska.
 Alaska's remoteness has prevented her citizens from taking jaunts to for- eisn capitals. the states or great gath erinRs fhuman kind wherever . va- cation period might happen along. The 1915 exposition is going to solve this problem by making some im- provements on the legend of Moham- med and the mountain. The mountain is to come moro than half way and the shortened trip Alaskans will take is to be an easy one.
 The best of the world is to be ss- ,ected and assembled in San Francis co for ten months in the winter to winter exposition. The time will offer adyantages to the northerners. The steamship lines are preparing to offer unprecedented low rates as the rail- way lines have already done in the states.
 To provide an unusually interest ing side trip for the exposition visitors the steamship lines are to exploit the inside passage to Alaska and this traf- fic will benAft Alaska residents and at the same time give them advantage of a lower rate than might be offered otherwise
 The longing of Alaskans for bright lights that are brighter. Q way that is wider and . jolly crowd that i1 tollier and more cosmopolitan than u 3 world has ever seen is to be answered in San Francisco. If the Alaskan knows what awaits him or her where the achievement of the Panama canal is to be commemorated, he Is supple menting the parting word of the chance meeting on the trail. "mush. you malamute. mush." by. "rll meet you sure on the bay in 1916." That is, if knowledge of this great exposi- ton s properly disseminated.
 There is no denying that this rich est territory that reflects the glory of the Stars and Stripes. this priceless diamond still greatly in the rough. will not have . commemorate part in the Panama-Pacifc international exposi- ton. Alaska is not to have her due but 1t is not the fault of her people. Thus far the government has been e dilatory in seeing that Alaska has fitting representation as 1t has been in needing the cry for Alaskan devel- opmsnt.
 At the present time 1t is planned to give Alaska @ share in the various government bureaus eto be shown fin the building for which congress is to appropriate s6oo.ooo. But Alaska has mora need of separate building than any other section of the United States.

while with spoon or paddy to
emulsify it, When thoroughly emul-
sifled the solution is poured into a
jug or large bottle, which is tightly
corked. A vessel somewhat larger
than a gallon measure is best, so
that the emulsion can be well shak
en- whenever any of it is to be drawn
off for dilution and use.
In this stock solution the ingredi-
ents are still highly concentrated
and the emulsion must be well di-
luted before being applied to the
plants. One part of the emulsion
to 40 or SO parts of water is about
the right proportions. 1t is applied
by drawing the earth slightly away
from the plants to be treated, thrust
ing them over to one side, and
pouring enough around the stem Of
each plant to wet it down as far as
the insects have travelled This can
be determined by pulling up and
examining a few plants after treat
ment.
The cabbage maggot is said by
Professor Lovett to be the most
serious pest that attacks the cab
bage and radish in Oregon, and it
does vast damage to kale, rape, eau

OF DOMESTIC ART
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

FSHE materials and the work of
domestic arts in the schools are
connected directly with the ma
terials and work in the home. Hence
the domestic arts course not only
contributes to the aims of universal
education, but likewise to the arts
and science of home making
Throughout the entire course, as
planned for the public schools Of
Oregon by Mrs. Brooks, professor
Of domestic arts at the Agricultural
College, the work is carried along
two lines that supplement each
other-subject matter and problems
of construction. Since the principles
Of art and design are constantly
used in working out the problems,
the aesthetic nature Of the children.
along with their practical and intel
lectual endowments, is undergoing
steady and natural development
All work in this course is deter

pupils ideas and ideals, standards

and methods, as permanent assets in
their lives.

course, and brings the child directly
into contact with the world, where
she may realize the relation Of all
the work of the school to all the

becomes a better citizen as a pro
ducer, a consumer, and a home
maker in her community"

FARM USES OF AUTOS.

\ VSE Of automobiles on the farm Is
w becoming much wider than was
at one time thought possible.
BY means Of a removable or con-
vertible rear seat the capacity Of the
car is increased 50 that 1t holds con-
siderable quantities Of perishable
farm produce for the city market or
emergency supplies for the farm.
Perishable fruits and vegetables can
be put on the market much earlier
in the day by the use Of good
convertible farm auto, and they will
be in much better condition. In case
farm machinery breaks down and
several men are temporarily put out
Of employment, the repairs can be
rushed in by means Of telephone and
automobile Some farmers are also
using their automobiles to run the
silo-filling machinery, and accord
ing to Professor w. A. Barr, Fed
eral and o. A. c. field dairyman,
are doing It successfully. The rear
wheels are lacked up and the driv.
ing belt is run on one Of them. OF
course depreciation on machines thus
used IS greater than on those used
merely for riding about in, but or
the other hand interest and upkeeT
charges are much less on one ma
chine than two or three. The ad
Visibility Of thus using farm auto.
depends upon many factors, ant
must be determined by each farme
according to these factors.

STOCK FOR CENTRAL OREGON.

FSY KEEPING some kinds Of live
ID stock and marketing their crops
through them instead of hauling
their farms to the grain elevators
and hay warehouses, settlers of Gem
tral Oregon will find farming more
profitable and at the same time
build up their farms for still more
profitable farming in the future.
Dairying is still in its infancy, but
with creameries at Prineyille, Red
mond and Bend 1t will shortly be-
come an industry Of great import
ance according to r, h, Reybolds,
extension livestock man Of the Agrt-
cultural College, who has been
working in that territory, Dairylng
should prove profitable on alfalfa
farm since the hay that now brings
but $40 or S12 per ton should bring
twice as much marketed through
the dairy COW. II should prove pro-
| fitable also in those regions that
have shallow soils with outCropping
rocks, since field-crop agriculture
can never be practiced successfully
there. It is believed that the de-
velopment Of this section will be
greatly stimulated by the introduce
ton OF livestock and dairylng in
dustries, and that the vast expanses
Of sagebrush and juniper country
will give way to country dotted
with prosperous homes.
