NORTH OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
Investigation Has Shown That AurI-
culture May Very Well Be Car
ried On In the Region.

That crop production may be prac-
ticed north Of the Arctic circle is one
Of the interesting facts brought out
by Q report ON q reconnaissance soil
survey In Alaska. This embodies the
results Of . study Of the soils Of q
vast area in Alaska by experts of the
bureau OF soils, made for the purpose
Of : determining. the possibilities Of
Northumberland.
Z It was found that gardening is car
ried on and grass thrives in Alaska,
up to and north of the Arctic circle.
In addition It is shown that, the eli
mate and soils Of Finland are very
similar to those Of Alaska, the lati-
tude Of the two regions being practi-
cally identical. In Finland number
Of crops are grown at considerable
distance north Of the Arctic circle.
Barley, for example, is generally
grown as far north as 68 degrees
30 minutes. or 2 degrees north of
the circle. Almost 100000 acres In
Finland were under cultivation and in
improved meadow in 1911. That
country has a population Of $4,000
reported in 1910. and about IS per
cent of this number live outside the
cities. Crop production. stock rails
ing and dairying are important indus
tries.
This comparison with Finland
and another with parts Of Siberia
are given to demonstrate the posi-
bility OF agricultural development In
Alaska.

Wheat PRICES DROP ON

Bullish Effects Of Drought Had

CHICAGO, October 4-Wheat values
tended to sag today. Influenced by opin-
ions that the bullish effects Of the Ar
gentine drought had been sufficiently
discounted for the present. Besides.
predictions of a change in the weather
conditions in Argentina were current
and it was hinted that measures were
being taken to enlarge greatly the
amount of shipments from Australia
Opening prices, which ranged from
Il off to u up, with December at 1.58
to 15SH and May at 1.57h to 1.57A,
were followed by a material decline all
around.
Corn Prices Also Sag.
Corn eased off with wheat. Big ship
ments from here, however, acted az .
check on the bears After opening at
a shade lower to a quarter advance the
market underwent moderate general
decline.
In the oats trade the chief factor
was the weakness Of other cereals.
Price changes, though, were slight.
Absence of selling pressure made pro-
visions average higher. Packers
seemed to lean to the buying side.

FINANCIAL.
Teach Children Economy.

From the Chicago Journal
One great secret of success in l6e is
contained in the advice of the Rev. DR..
W. e. Barton that parents should teach
their children the necessity of adjusting
expenses to come within the limit of in
come.
The boy who is permitted to spend all
his first earnings on himself is acquir-
ing habits that may spell ruin for him
when he is obliged to make his own
way in the world.
The girl who has the privilege of
charging her candy at the corner and
her own hats and gowns in the depart
ment store is likely to grow up with q
financial responsibility that will make
her husband bankrupt or a madman.
Every child should be taught to ac-
count for every dollar spent. Economy
does not mean parsimony, but this is an
era of prodigal recklessness. and fool
ish striving to outdo others in dress and
style of living is one of the great
evils of the times.
