No Effort Should he Spared to Pre-
vent Spread Of Serious Disease.
The department is taking steps to
prev. rt the spread If the very serious
stripe rust of cereals ,Puocinio glu,n-
arum) recently found in this coun-
try, but thus far known to occur only
west of about the one hundred and
fourth meridian. The Bureau Of
Plant Industry and the Federal Hor-
ticultural Board have arranged that
no samples of seed selected in this
area shall be distributed by the de-
partment to points east Of the one
hundred and fourth meridian in the
United States or to foreign countries
until all such seed has been inspected
and, if necessary, given the follow
ing treatment: The seed is soaked
five hours in water at 81 degrees,
Farnheit, followed promptly with a
1O-minute immersion in water at 129
degrees Farnheit.
This regulation is considered neces-
sary because the spores and living
hyphae of the rust not infrequently
occur within the outer layers of the
seed tissue. Seed thus infected
when planted, may start centers Of
infection in the field or nursery, and

FLAX PRICES

War Influence Expected to Maintain
Good Prices For This Crop.
Bozeman, Montana, May 3O.-"Flax
is a promising crop for 1916" says
Professor Alfred Atkinson of the
Montana State College. "Reports show
that for the years 1914 and 1915 the
United States produced about half OF
the flax used by the fax consuming
industries of this country. This de-
ficiency has been made up by flax
importations from Argentine chiefly.
Previous to the beginning of the war
the transportation rate on flax from
Argentine to the United States ports
ranged from eight to fifteen cents a
bushel, while the carrying rates and
the insurance charges at the present
time are from four to five times this
amount. A further fact in the situa-
ton is the active demand for wheat
with the resulting high price of this
crop and the increased acreage of the
crop which is being planted in the
fax producing states.
"The above facts point to continu
ance of the present good price for
! flax In many sections where the
winter wheat has killed out and es-
pecially where spring wheat is hard
to get, flax may be planted with the
reasonable assurance of pretty fair
returns. From fourteen to twenty
pounds Of seed per acre is sufficient
and in most sections of the state the
crop is pretty sure Of maturity even
if the spring planting is a little de-
layed. Early planting is advised but
fair returns are frequently harvested
even with late planting.
There are two points to which
those planting flax ought to give spec
ial attention. Be sure to get fax
seed free from weeds. Such weed
seeds as mustard, Russian thistle, and
a few other bad ones are frequently
present in fax seed and the fax crop
does not have much power to hold
down these weeds. By all means
growers ought to get clean seed. The
second point is to treat the seed for
disease. Flax seed is subject to GER
tain diseases and when these are
present they seriously reduce the
yield"

ROOTS FOR STOCK AND POULTRY

Sugar beets and mangels grown
for stock will produce big tonnages.
Mangels like rather cool climate and
sugar beets are grown successfully
in about the same general latitude
that grapes are produced easily and
somewhat north of that belt.
Put your root crops in good fertile
soil, plowed deep and well-tilled, if
you expect heavy tonnage. Work
up a good seed bed and if the land
is not already very rich put on some
well-rotted manure after plowing
Root crops draw especially heavy on
phosphorus.
Plant the beets in drills with the
rows far enough apart that cultiva-
ton is not difficult. Plant about corn
planting time. You will have to hoe
and thin them by hand.

jected to infection, it is urgently re-
commended that such seed be given
the above recommended themal treat
ment as possible means of prevent
ing the development Of the rust from
infected kernels. Samples sent for
examination by specialists should be
mailed in containers which can be her.
metically sealed. These containers
should be opened under conditions
which make the distribution of any
rust spores or rusted seed impossible.
1t is requested that officers of State
agricultural experiment stations and
other State agricultural officials give
this matter special attention.

degrees. The heat is then discontinu-
ed. Cover the kettle with a cloth
to retain the heat as much as possible
and let it stand for half an hour.
At ordinary kitchen temperatures
the water will not lose more than
FIVE degrees heat in half an hour. At
end of this time cool the milk rapidly,
seal the receptacles if the product is
to kept very long and you may feel
reasonably sure of safe food.

thus lead to the establishment of this
destructive rust in localities where it
is now unknown.
No effort should be spared, the
cereal specialists say, to prevent the
shipment of suspected seed out of the
territory where such seed is intended
for planting. Wheat from the re-
gion under suspicion when shipped
for milling purposes probably does
not figure so prominently as a factor
in the distribution of the rust, though
no carrier can give absolute guaranty
against the spread of this rust along
the right of ways.
1t is urged that all farmers east of
the one hundred and fourth meridian
avoid purchasing for seed any wheat
known to have been grown west of
that meridian. County agents or
other agricultural officers should in
form growers of the danger likely to
result from planting seed the source
of which is not known to them. When
it is absolutely necessary to ship seed
out of the region in question, such
seed should first pass through the
hands of some person, preferably the
plant pathologist or the State botanist
capable of passing upon its freedom
from the rust. Owing, however, to
the practical impossibility of detect
ing infected seed in any samples SUBJ

HOME PASTEURIZATION OF MILK

HOME PASTEURIZATION OF MILK
Milk can be pasteurized at home in
bottles or in mason jars, says writer
in recent issue of Farm and Home.
The bottle or mason jar is set on an
inverted perforated pie pan, placed in
the bottom of kettle or pail. This
holds the milk container away from
direct contact with the bottom of the
kettle and avoids danger of breakage
A dairy thermometer is essential to
, success.
The vessel is filled with water up

GIVE US A SUBSTITUTE.

4 man without money has often been deScrib- ed as body without soul-a hideous object that frightenS everybody This comes near being the truth.
 Take man in time of prosperity. he never lacks friends. But the moment he is without money. his friends leave him. He becomes a nuisance and if his pride is not dead his coun- tenance becomes Sorrowful. His vivaeity of tenn per during his prosperity becomes dull. If he calls upon friend. he hardly ever finds him at home.
 If perchanee he meets him. his former friend makes him feel his diSgrace-that's it, disgrace for being without money. He Is avoided like per son with smallpox. Nobody cares to speak to him He Is 8 bore to everybody. and as such, he should ''get of the earth" A feeling of dejection; of misery goes to bed with him at night and hunger wakes him up in the morning. Such is the standing of the man without money. Yet you will find class Of people who would want you to become man without soul" because the source Of your revenue that gives you a little money, does not suit them. From that it would seem that those who want to reform the world should furnish a substitute for money. It's so disagreeable to be without soul.

THINK IT OVER.

This year. broadly speaking. Is the first year since our organic act went into effect that clean-cut demarkation hne has been drawn be- tween the two political parties in Alaska. Both have had their convention; both are lining up their candidates for the legislature. The demo- cratS have nominated their candidate for dele gate to congress, and everything seems to be working in good shape. It is true that the re- publcans have not yet nominated a candidate for delegate to congress with the exception Of Wickersham by few bolters at Anchorage re- gently. But that need not worry anybody.
 The republicans. like the democrats are soon 10 meet at Juneau where the delegates from the various precincts will name candidates for the territorial legislature. Two representatives and one senator must be nominated from each diviS ion. except the first division where two senators must be named. Senator Sulzer. by reason Of his acceptance of the nomination for delegate to con- gress, in our opinion vacated his seat ConSe- quently two senators must be elected to repre- sent the first division. Politicians are looking for men available In our opinion. there is no need Of looking for two men; because Ketchikan has one already in the person Of the present rep resentatiye from this precinct. J. R. Hickman has had experience and during his term he gave an excellent account of himself. He is recogniz- ed as business man Of splendid ability. of sound judgment and absolutely competent to fill the position.
 From the fact that this precinct elected a senator two years ago. there are some who think that 10 demand recognition in that respect, is demanding 100 much. This will not be disputed. but to offset this claim, we bring forward a man who is thoroughly competent for the position and by reason thereof, we ask the support Of all unprejudiced voters 10 help us to nominate and elect J. R. Hickman Senator. He served term in the lower house creditabiy. AS matter Of fact, we have never heard word against him
The daily progressive-miner., 1916-07-18

or his action while he served the people of this and other divisions: and having served in the lower house, should be considered in his favor A tried man is none too good for the position.
 Bearing that in mind we do. now. declare our selves in favor of ]. R. Hickman for the senate Not because he is republican. but because he is the right kind of a man the people need. Just the same as we have declared ourselves in favor of Senator Sulzer for delegate to congress- not because he is a democrat; but because we be heve him to be the right kind of a man the peo- pie need Let our friends of the first division think over the suggestion.
