SKIN TROUBLE ON
 BABYS FAR
Great Itching, Spread in Form Of PimpIes. Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. ln0ne eWeekWelGs Also Healed RingwOrm. 7

Green River, Utah.-'Last winter my baby had Q little crack appear on the top of her car. It caused great itching. used boracc acid water to wash 1t. and 10 would go away and maybe not reappear in weeks, but each time it would be little worse. It was badly swollen. The break ing out finally began to spread in the form of pimpleS, and lump formed behind ths car. used carbolic acid washes but they did not give permanent relief. Seeing 1t grow worse, I sent for some Cutlcura Soap and Ointment which I used at once. The breaking out began to dry up after tho first application and in one week was well and has not appeared since.
 Three and half years ago ono Of my children had ringworm on bis head which was very annoying, 1t itched 80. It wal very irritated and his hair came out WherB the breaking out was. used homo remedies without effect. l then procured Q box of Cuticura Ointment which healed tho ring- worm." (Signed) Mrs, II. E. Blake, November 5. 1914.

FARMING EXPERTS
TURNING Alaska
INTO RICH GARDEN
Two Experiment Stations ES-
tabliShed Develop Strains of
Plants Perfectly Adapted to
Weather Conditions.

WASHINGTON. June :. - Uncle
Sam has two agricultural stations in
Alaska.
These experiment stations are in
the Tanana and Yukon valleys, the
country that viii be tapped by the
governments railroad from Seward,
on the coast. 10 Fairbanks, AL miles
10 the north
One Of the stations is close 10 Fair
banks on the Tanana river, and the
otner is al Rampant. about 100 miles
northwest, on the Yukon, in country
which IL is believed Will appeal 10
settlers.
Although not generally known.
these stations have been maintained
( for years by the department Of ag-
ricUlture.
During the decade since the stations
have become well established, the ag-
ricultural problems ocular 70 Alaska
/, have been steadily attacked and many
> Of them solved.
One Of the conditions peculiar TO
Alaska is that the ground. besides
( having on it "A thick growth Of timber,
. Is covered with a heavy carpet Of
moss
Since nIo--'--- il under sours the
soil, it must be removed thus making
. the clearing Of land a slow and eX-
; pensiVe process.
other agricultural problems en-
cOuntered are the short growing sea-
sons, the hard-frozen condition of the
ground during a part OF the year. the
small amount of moisture, and the
pest OF rabbits.
Attacking these problems the ex-
pertinent stations have gathered much
valua bic information They have also
developed "a number OF new strains of
plants, almost perfectly adapted to
the weather conditions in the country.
BY LIBERALIZATION new barleys have
been produced that mature earlier,
stand more eTectly and have better
heads than any varieties brought in
from the outside
All the barleys matured seeds under
the weather conditions Of 1913, the
most trying that have been met with
in the interior since records have been
kept.
So successful have been the expert
+ ments with the harleys that the work
iOf their development rs considered al
most complete and special attention IS
now being turned 10 the production OF
hardy wheats and other grains
Another of the important pieces Of
work Of the stations has been toward
the development of alfalfas adapted to
growth i'm Alaska.
Even i'm 1918 several varieties ma
tured seeds and the plants that had
been growing for two years developed
their first root nOdules. In this is
seen promise of a crop that Will make
possible the development of a live
stock industry.
The stations also have proved that
potatoes can be successfully grown in
Alaska in abundance and at a hand
some profit Alaskan potatoes keep
better than those shipped from the
states. and even i'm the most unfavOr-
Ible years Approximately 100 bushels
per acre have been produced.
Carrots. cabage, caulihOwer. turnips.
hoets. spinach and some other Vege-
tables thrive as well in Alaska as in
the states.
