THE CURIOUS.

In these troublesome days when the eoun- try is in turmoil. lot of Us may be said to have become suspicious Of others in a way. Especial k those who have been generous in responding to the governments various appeals for help. President Wilson made several appeals and so have Secretaries Daniels, Baker. and M Adoo. Also the Red Cross Association made appeals and il cannot be denied that the country as whole has shown exceptional generosity. As a whole you remember: but that is where our suspicion rises and, it may be imagination but We have an idea that some government employees lack the sense Of generosity. and at once We become curious to know how much this and that govern nent enpIoye who iS getting fat salary for keeping down an easy job has given to the Red Cross: how much did he subscribe 70 the liberty loan and all that and compare their generosity with that Of the men who have to hustle like sixty 10 make both ends meet.
 Our country is full of government employees at least it seems so if We can judge by the size or some officials heads. As matter Of fact they are so numerous that II seems as though they should support the government in it's entir ety provided they were possessed Of grain of generosity. Had all the government employes been nlulcted out of couple hundred dollars there would have been so necessity for anybody else to come forward. And We can't see why they were not. Most Of them who desire Q job contribute freely to all political campaign funds and after they get their job they should be bled occasionally. That is the way we feel about that anyhow. and no doubt there are others who feel the same. But that isn't the point we wanted ro reach. The point was this: We are mighty curious to know how many government employes in Juneau and elsewhere; have responded to the various appeals and how much they have contrib u.ed. That's the question that iS bothering Is and We should Ike an answer. Won't the gov er.ment start an investigation. just 10 satisfy oHr curiosity. you understand.

Troops are being called out to help rid the couf' trv of a certain element composed almost entlre- ly of foreigners. At least most of the leaders are. according to reports.

AUSTRALIAN SHEEP TO
------ IMPROVE u. s. STOCK

Portland. Ore. May 5.--Thc intro
duction of 100000 worth of Austria
liam sheep into the Pacific Northwest
promises to revolutionize the sheep
growing industry of this section of
the country. And the reason for this
great change is the enormous demand
for wool and mutton, owing to the
world war.
Sheep men have found that breeds
now grown are not suitable for pro-
ducing eboth wool and mutton. Some
breeds are better for wool and others
fore meat.
Recently H. Stanley Coffin. of North
Yakima, Wash, one Of the largest
wool growers in the country, returned
from a trip through Australia and
New Zealand and brought with him
10000 worth of sheep from those ia
nous wool growing countries The
blood of these sheep will be intro
duced into the fiocks OF the North
west, in an effort to produce a breed
that will not only produce a heavy
crop of wool, but will be unexcelled
for meat Mr.. Cofiin's firm now has
10000 sheep in Washington and
Idaho.
In Australia the ranches breed
for wool almost exclusively. accord
ing 10 Coffin. They do not breed, he
says, as scientifically as Americans,
and their lamb increase is only so to-
so per cent while in America it runs
from so 10 100 per cent.

1891 900 tons for the preceding three
years. The sugar made from the 1915
working totaled S21,000 tons, COM
pared with $4,000 tons in 1915 and
an average of 10000 tons of sugar
for the preceding three years.
1t has been said that this war will
be won on the farm. Much stress Is
being put upon the matter of increas-
ing the product of the farms and
even the breaking and planting or
government reserves is under con-
sideration As there was not enough
labor in the United States last year
to care for the small crops produced,
it would seem that farm production
this year will depend not so much on
stirring up the farmer to the needs of
the country as on seeing that his
skilled labor is not disturbed through
recruiting aid chat he is given as
much additional labor as can be spared
from the cities or schools. School
boy labor cannot release trained
farm hands to go to the front ex-
cept at a cost of tremendously de-
creased production per acre.

INCREASE ACREAGE
OF SWEET POTATOES
Cost Less to fIant-Produce More
Food Per Acre Than Irish
Potatoes.

Washington, D. c.. May Seed TO
plant an acre Of Irish potatoes cost
about $40 this spring Seed sveer
potatoes will not cost more than 81
per acre where vine cuttings taken
from early~set plants are used The
yield of sweet potatoes per acre Is
usually greater than that of irish
potatoes and as a food thew are as
nutritious. Sweet potatoes may be
grown throughout the Southern states
and, of course in certain 0tncr sec
lions. Specialists IN the United states
department Of agriculture are urging
an increased acreage OF this crop
wherever it can be easily grown.
Sweet potatoes, ii Ia pointed out. are
the South's chief instrument for a
quick and effective Increase of the
food supply. Seed is plentiful; last
years crop was the second largest
ever produced. BY means Of vine cut
tings il is possible 10 plant almost
unlimited areas OF this crop and at the
same time conserve the present sup
ply. That u.s. a farmer who wishes
to plant ten acres will bed-soed
enough--say eight to ten bushels---to
get slips for one acre Vine cuttings
from this acre would plant many
more acres. paintings being possible
until thu first Of August in tie lover
South. This system, now widely used
In the South, enables the utilization
OF lard from which early potatoes,
cabbage and other truck crops have
been taken.
Sweet potatoes are not expensive TO
grow The main limiting factor to
the production OF vast quantities by
this plan is labor, Yields from fields
set with vine cuttings are as large as
from plants grown from slips. This
method has the further advantage of
preventing the transfer of diseases
which are carried on the tubers
The South doesn't need To learn how
to grow sweet potatoes. the specialists
point out Farmers know how to
produce large Yields OF his crop. But
the farmer must be impressed with the
necessity OF increasing his acreage OF
this crop, and then. when harvest
comes. TO prevent the enormous loss
from improper handling and storing
The best Way 10 keep sweet potatoes is
to store them in well-yentilated storage
