time. Plants showing stem rot either
at or below the surface Of the soil,
plants developing any type Of abnormal
rolling Of the leaves, those with mot
tied or crinkled leaves, and any plants
that are stunted, weakened or that
make unthrifty growth, should be dis
carded.
Fl If practicable it is best to dig the
seed plat by hand, care being taken to
eliminate all low-yielding hills and those
producing an undue proportion OF small
or unshapely tubers. In harvesting,
avoid unnecessary cutting, bruising or
other injury, since the vitality Of dam
aged tubers is reduced. Gather and
store the seed potatoes in slat crates.
Place them as soon as possible after
harvesting in cool reasonably moist
storage house provided with good ven
tilation and maintained at tempera-
ture Of 80 to 40 degrees f.
Work Stock Over Carefully
Before the next planting time the
stock should be carefully worked over
to remove all badly cut or bruised tu-
bers and those showing serious scab or
black scurf and decay Of any kind. Tu-
bers badly off type should also be dis
carded, as should any showing abnor-
nal discoloration Of flesh, which can
be seen, of course, only at the time
of cutting. If scab or black scurf is
present in any degree, it is advisable
to treat the seed by covering for 80
minutes in solution containing four
ounces of corrosive sublimate to Be
gallons Of water.

Approximately one-half Of our farm

result, from 10 to rs per cent of the

CONGRESSMAN FROM MISSOURI BOOSTS
 DELEGATE SULZER

Representative NJ. A. Romjue, of he First Missouri District and one )f the most popular and ablest of Missouri's delegation in Congress, is one of the many members of Con gress who has been greatly i'm pressed with the industry, ability and fidelity to Alaska Of Delegate Charles A. Sulzer.
 The following is letter received from Mir Romjue sometime ago; "Mr John w. Troy,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 "My dear sir:
 q have become very much inter ested in Alaska, and I think Con gress generally has learned great deal about Alaska since Honorable Chas. A. Sulzer has been member of this body. MT. Sulzer has at all times taken keen and active in terest in Alaska, and has always been alert in calling the attention of Congress to the needs and assistance of that Territory, and of the splen- did opportunities it furnishes. | find from his influence here that there is a favorable sentiment grow ing towards Alaska. Personally, af- ter hearing MT Sulzer impart some of the information concerning Alas ka, have become much more inter- ested and hope at the termination of this war I will be able to visit your country.
 q know of no more faithful mem Der of this body that Honorable Chas. A. Sulzer. It had been hoped by men engaged here in the con duct of the war that Mir. Sulzer

5000 feet of Hume would never be rebuilt and that instead 300 foot Hume will be constructed which will be as good as the original and more costly Hume.
 MT. Knight said all of the creeks in that section head in glaciers of the Muir fields. The unusual warm weather in the early part of the sea son removed the protecting snow from the ice and the warm rains later, instead of being held in the snow as reserve, made more water by coming in contact with the ice and caused flood. The snow but tresses erected on the upper Porcu pine were wrecked and the dam car ried away and part of the 20-foot Hume and some of the pipe equip ment The company operating on the upper part had closed down ear Her ih the season owing to lack of labor
 The leasees of the old Porcupine Gold Mining Company were also washed out by break in the big Hume which came directly into the pit ,iR which they were working and within a few days of their clean up. This break was caused by the driftwood and wreckage from the up- per part of the creek hitting the side of a Hume at a sharp bend which had been weakened by the overflow washing around the supporting bents The unusual rush of waters not only covered the bedrock sluice with two 1r three feet of gravel, but also car ried away the mess house, all the tools and grub. 1t is doubtful wheth sr this property will ever be opened again except on a small scale.
 On Glacier Creek, parallel creek 70 Porcupine, three miles up the Klehini river, where the Glacier Creek Mining Company had installed | large hydraulic elevator plant to operate the drill tested creek bottom the years work, pit 50 feet deep and 150 feet long and 200 feet wide, was filled in about six hours after he flood from the creek came in 'heir Hume, caused by the driftwood There was no equipment lost, but
 he hydraulic elevator was covered. This company will probably not re- sume operations until after the war m account of the shortage of labor and the high cost of production.

 q talked with AL G. Knight, the manager of the Glacier Creek Mine Company, who said that they were sitting at the breakfast table when the crash came on the other side of the mine. But we were not hit as badly as was the Porcupine mine,' said Mr. Knight to MT. Bart lett, as at the Porcupine everything was practically washed away. Oui greatest disappointment was the fact that we were just at the point oi accomplishing something in the way of getting out gold, after years ol crosscuttng and development of the mine!1"''

War Board Is Trying to CurtaiI Printing Papers to Meet Actual De-
 mandS of People.

The War Industries Board has decreed that there must be conser-
 vation in the use of paper. While there has been no order that news papers of eight pages or less shall reduce their size, the Board has directed that there be extreme con servation in the printing of paper, and provision is made against the printing of more papers than are
 necessary to supply the actual de-
 mands of actual purchasers of pa pers. It is not the purpose, howev- CT, to curtail the demand. In furtherance of this conserva- tion policy, the Board has laid down these specifications for papers to follow with reference to their cir
 culation:
 1. Discontinue the acceptance of
 the return of unsold copies. Exceptions: Agents of publish
 CTS, or dealers acting as agents
 selling newspapers whole to retail dealers, newstands and newsboys
 may return unsold copies provided such unsold copies have not been in the possession of retail dealers, | newstands or newsboys. Retail dealers, newstands or newstands receiving papers too late for sale on account of delay in transportation may return copies to the publisher.
 2. Discontinue subscriptions that have expired and not paid for with
 in three months of the end of the period paid for.
 3. Discontinue giving copies to anybody except for the newspaper office working copies or where re- auired by statute law in the case of official advertising.
 Copies may be given free to em- ployees of newspaper, if such is the
 present practice of the office.
 No free copies shall be given to
 relatives. stockholders, or others not actually engaged in the publi cation of the paper
 Copies may be sent free to for mer employees who are in the war service and copies may be sent free to camp libraries or institutions rec ognized by the Government, such as the Y. M C. A., K of C., etc. Copies should not be sent free to individual soldiers unless formerly employed by the newspapers. Copies may be sent free to the library of Congress and to State and other public libraries who will agree to bind or otherwise perma- nently preserve the files of the paper.
 4. Discontinue giving papers free to advertisers.
 g.. Limits the number of free copies that may be sent free for the purpose of extending circula- tion.
 6. Prevents the sending free copies in exchange for other pub lications except those printed in the county of publication. (Alaska has been construed by the Post office Department to be one county therefore exchanges may continue within Alaska.)
 z. Prevents making a price for the paper lower than the pub lished rates.
 8. Permits clubbing rate at 75 per cent. of the regular rate.
 9. Prevents the giving of pre- miums unless the premiums are all so offered for sale at such price that the combination value of paper
