IMMEDIATE
 NEED FOR ROAD
 ACROSS FLATS

Petitions will be circulated tonight or tomorrow for the construction of a wagon road across Resurrection river flats at the head of the bay with the necessary bridges to enable direct communication between Seward and the agricultural land on the east side of the river and to connect with the naval radio station to be constructed near the Revell homestead this sum- mer.
 The Nash and Hoffman homeSteads are located beyond the river and com prise some of the best land in the val ley, and the Adelman dairy is soon to he moved to that locality. This will mean added agricultural develop ment beyond the river, but cannot be realized unless a road suitable for traffic is assured.
 A direct road connecting the town with the naval radio station is nec- essity and work on this end should be commenced at the earliest date possi- ble to provide the contractors with means of hauling material and sup plies to the site.
 It is proposed to have this road built from the territorial fund set aside by the last legislature.
 Road Supervisor Wilson of the Third division, recently appointed by Governor Strong, will be here from Valdez on one of the next boats and it is desired to have the petition and all of the data showing the need for the road ready for presentation when he arrives.

In addition to cleared fields where wild hay is harvested each year there are at present about 20 acres under intensive cultivation within three miles of the Seward postoffice
 There should be three times that amount, according to those interested in increasing home food production
 It is claimed by agricultural depart ment officials that this section can produce all of the potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips and rutabagas which could be consumed by the present population.
 In addition to the small truck gar dens being cultivated by individuals in the residence section there are the following larger tracts already plant ed.
 East of Resurrection river on the bay, Nash 3 acres and Hoffman 1 l-2 acres; north of Seward, Robert John son 31-2 acres in oats and 1-2 acre in vegetables, Otto Bergstrom 2 acres, dairy farm 1 acre, Erich Lucas 1 l-2 acres, Mcconnell 1 acre.
 Experience has shown that soil in this section does not produce well the first year after cultivation and for this reason the agricultural experts urge that every available tract for planting next year should be plowed this summer.
 In addition to farms close by there is some land under cultivation at Woodrow, between Mile and Mile 2. There George Laughlin has chicken ranch and an acre in vegetable, while at Mile 20, at Roosevelt and at Mile 29 several tracts have been planted and considerable wild hay will be cut.

In a letter to Governor Burnquist
from Myron A. Kesner, representing
the war department commission on
training camp activities, it is pro-
posed to give the boys stationed at
Camp Cody Christmas cheer which
will abide long in their memories.
The proposition consists Of donating
dressed beef, pork, mutton and fowls,
properly packed, and to send it to the
boys for a big Banquet.
Donations Of the kind mentioned
should be addressed, without delay, to
the Adjutant General, care Of Swift &
Co., Northern Pacific team track No.
ID, ST. Paul, to arrive there. not later
than December 26. While it is to be
a so-called Christmas event, the ban
