PLEASED WITH WASHINGTON CO.
Sec. Slocum Thinks Fight Against Tu-
bercuIosis Made Big Gain.

Burlington March THE campaign
in Vermont against tuberculosis received
splendid impetus by the acceptance
Tuesday by Washington county of the
proposition to build hospital in which
patients suffering from the disease may
receive treatment.
The state now has sanitarium at
Pittsford, and plans are under way for
a preyentorium at Essex. With the
carrying forward of the hospital pro-
ject at Barre, the equipment for the
work in the state viii be practically
complete, with one important exception
of corps of state health nurses, says
Harold W. Slocum of this city, secre-
tary of the Society for the Prevention
of tuberculosis, who is enthusiastic over
the Washington county vote on the hos
pital question and believes that the com
ing year viii see long step in advance
in the work now planned.
The society is conducting a splendid
work among the children of the public
schools in connection with the modern
health crusade and this will be kept
mp all the year and strengthened as
may be advisable.
The securing of corps of health
nurses, however, said Mr.. Slocum, is not
so easy, as most of the available trained
nurses are sent to do army work, and
it takes some time TO train girls and
women to do work of this character
without the advice and assistance OF
physicians. The preventorium at Essex,
it is expected now, may be in operation
before July.

ALASKA PAYS WELL.
Its Mineral Output in 1917 Was More
Than Sal. 100000.

Alaska continues to be a good paying
! investment for Uncle Sam, its mineral
! output in 1917 having been more than
1 $4l 100000, and although the production
of gold was somewhat reduced the inter
est in the gold placers is still keen
Among the rich placer deposits are those
of Valdez creek. WHICH have yielded gold
valued at 1915 900
Gold has been found in its bedrock
source i'll the slate area south of Valdez
creek and is present in some of the
stream gravel deposits within that area.
Most of the placer gold from this dis
trict. however, has come from an old
gravel filled channel or canyon once oc-
cuped by Valdez creek and from the
stream gravels of that part of the pres
ent channel of the creek which lies below
the point where the old and new chan
nels intersect. The gold in the new chan
mel is in large part recommendation
from the rich auriferous filling of the
old canyon. The old channel and the
three or four creek claims below it on
the present stream constitute an excel
lent example of the Importance of recon-
centration in the production of rich gold
pIditIs.
Slate creek is IS miles east of Valdez
creek. 1t is the site of an older camp
than Valdez creek and with its tribu-
tary, Miller gulch, has been the greatest
producer of placer gold within the Cop
per river basin, having yielded more than
one and three quarter million dollars.
Diorite intrusive rocks are present, and
in this respect the deposits resemble
those of Valdez creek 1t is believed,
however, that the slate of Valdez creek
is younger, although the diorite intru-
sives are probably of the same or nearly
the same age.
The United States geological survey,
department of the interior, has on hand
a few copies of bulletin 49s, ''Headwater

HANDLING WORN SOIL.
Simple Method of Cultivation Triples
Productivity of Poor Land.

One of the greatest needs in order to
increase the production OF crops on worn
soil in the eastern states is the addition
of liberal supply of humus or vegeta-
bic matter to the soil This need is be-
ing supplied by many enterprising farm
ers by growing degume crops and turn
ing them under. That the farmers who
have adopted this practice are being am
ply repaid is shown by the increased
Yields which they are able TO secure.

Corn Yield Increases from IS to so
Bushels.

On one farm in Caroline county, Va
the regular practice had been to grow
corn on the land one year in three and
to allow each field TO rest" during the
other two years. The resting" process
was to allow weeds and trash to grow
up and thus accumulate sufficient fertili-
ty for another crop of corn. With this
system of cropping the yield of corn
ranged generally from Is to Is bushels.
The improvement of the soil on this
farm began first by planting one OF the
poorest fields to cowpens. The eowpens
were cut for hay and the stubble disked
and seeded to crimson clover The fol-
lowing spring the crimson clover crop
was turned under and the field planted
to corn At the last working of the corn,
crimson clover was again sown The
following spring the same process was
repeated by turning under the crimson
clover and planting corn again on the
same land. This practice was contin-
ued for five years. The third year the
yield of corn was about 40 bushels to
the acre and the fifth year the crop
made a yield of 80 bushels to the acre.
Grows Good Wheat Crop.
Up to the time of the change in the
cropping system. it had been the regular
practice to apply 200 pounds of l6 per
cent acid phosphate per acre to each
crop grown. Under that system, how
ever, crop yields could not be maintained.
After the change in cropping system, the
same amount of acid phosphate was
applied each year to the corn crop. The
only real change in method was to grow
first crop of cowpens and after that
to turn under catch crop of crimson
clover in preparation for the corn each
year The Improvement in soil condi-
