nations Of the world. A committee

such a scheme and the analogy OF the
present situation TO that which con-

Farm the Dry Land

We must have an increase in crop
acreage if this state is to do it's part
towards solving the food problem
Even at this late date it is still
possible to get dry land soil in con
dition for crops which should ma
true under normal conditions.
These crops are cultivated crops,
such as beans, corn and sorghums
All of them may be put on new soil
or old soil, and because they are
cultivated crops, they are more liza
bic 10 bring returns for the farmer
than non-cultivated crops.
The date of planting of the three
crops mentioned is practically the
same. The crops should be planted
when danger of frost is past and
when the soil is warmed up. This
date will range from May 18th to
June lst.
After the harvesting of corn and
sOrghums; if the land is disked up
it will be in good shape for spring
crop the following year. All three
crops mentioned should be import
ant cash crops during this season.
Bean straw is very valuable feed
and it is especially so when it is fed
with some succulent feed like sill
age In the ease of the corn sorghum
crops. when these crops are grown
for e ain; the stalk should be saved
for # ced. If grown for forage, the
most satisfactory way to handle the
corn and sorghum crop is to place
them in the silo, either a pit or a
surfa silo. BY doing so from 80 to
IS pc, cent of the food units will be
avail; bic for feed. Besides, the feed
is much more succulent and palat-
able. If allowed to stand in the
field, only about half of the food
units will be saved and the mater
ials Y. i'll be less succulent and pal
atablc No matter what the crop
is, every effort should be made to
Demo rat.

 The interior of the place has been entirely refitted and redecorated and the finishing throughout is of Mahogany. In the part formerly occupied by the bar and offices of the Juneau Liquor Company, four pool tables and two billiard tables have been installed. The tables are brand new and plenty of space is left around each so that plays will not be crowded Chairs are ra- ranged along the wall for those who wish to watch games.
 Special card rooms have been ar ranged, cut off from the main rooms so that the players will not be both cred by spectators. A soft drink bar has been arranged along the oth- CT side of the room, with cigar counters and all necessary fixtures. A speciality of soft drinks will be made by the management and over 400 varieties are offered for the sel- ection of their patrons Special booths for the consumers of soft drinks have been installed with card tables in the booths for those who desire
 Believing that adequate lighting is one of the attractions of a resort of this kind, the management has installed lights aggregating over A. 900 watts. These lights are ar ranged on the semiderect system and do away with any shadows which might otherwise be thrown on the tables. Other conveniences for the benefit of their guests have been installed and everything possi- ble has been done to make the place as attractive as possible.
 William Garster will be in direct charge Of the place as manager, Si- mon Hirsch is the president of the company with Wm Riggs as secre tary and treasurer MT. Hirsch this morning said, We are catering to the better trade of the city and will positively not tolerate any rough stuff. No man under the influence of liquor will be allowed in the place and no liquor of any kind will be dispensed by us. This is to be a first class gentlemen's resort, for their comfort and convenience and we believe it will meet with popu- lar approval"
