mo CALAMITY IN COTTON IF

About Gathering Crop Than Dis

Speaking on the cotton SITUATION
before the Farmers Congress at
College Station, Tex, July 29, Clar-
ence Ousley, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, said that as he sees the
situation "no calamity impends if
we do not lose u heads" and that
he is "more concerned about the
gathering of the crop than about
disposing Of it."
! He offered a solution, even if
there is a surplus of from 3to 4
million bales, and says:
"If every farmer who raises 10
bales of cotton will put 2 in the
warehouse and sell the remainder by
installments from month to month
throughout the winter and spring
instead of forcing it all on the mar
ket at one time, the difficulty in even
its worst aspects will disappear"
He thinks that if there is a surplus
of cotton this year it must be absorb
ed by reduced production next year.
Furthermore, he points out that the
government did not ask for so large
a crop and in all fairness this fact
must be recognized, the crop having
been produced because the Southern
growers refused to heed the warning
of agricultural leaders and econ
omists.
Nevertheless, MI. Ousley points
out, the Government is prepared to
do whatever it can to help avert hard
ship, though its ability in this direc-
ton is limited, even though t exer-
cises its war powers to the utmost. 1t
must be remembered, he cautions,
that no even the Government Of the
United States, with all its powers,
can make two bales of cotton fit
idnto a place where there is but room
for one. By the aid of Government
;aetndiks, by judicious marketing,
by withholding par tot the crop for
latre development, by adjustment of
next years acreage, the South can
come out whole and with profit.

IN THE SOUTH

The following suggestions are
from the Office of Extension Work
in the South, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture:
Experiments conducted by the Blu
reau of Entomology for several
years, show quite definitely that late
season applications of poison in the
from of calcium arsenate or other
forms of lead arsenate give a pro-
nounced degree of boil weevil con-
troll and a material increase in the
yield of cotton. The poison in the
form of fine powder is applied as a
dust spray. Many details regarding
number and method of application,
and time of day and period of
growth when applications should be
made, remain to be more definitely
determined by further experiments.
The results of all experiments,
however, seem to indicate that from
three to five applications at the rate
of about s pounds per acre made at
weekly periods beginning late in
July will give the best results. From
about 4 p. m. until 9 a. m seems to
be the most favorable period of the
day in which to make the applica-
ton. Apparently moisture is i'm
portant in securing any consudera-
BILE degree of mortality from the ap-|
plication of the poison.
This discovery materially extends
the period for fighting the weevil.
Under the method usually Employed
of picking weevils and squares and
continuous cultivation, efforts to con-
troll hte weevil necessarily ended

SEED AND FRUIT TREES
WITH COUNTY AGENT

I wish to call to your attention
that this fall will see more oats, rye
and wheat sown than ever before.
We should now begin to place our
order for seed, as you fully realize
how congested the railroads are at
the present time. Then, you fully
realize what it means to SOW oats
Especially in late fall-winter
killed. You should begin now to
plan where you expect to SOW oats
and do your best to get them in the
latter part of September or early
October. What is the use to SOW
oats in November and let them be
killed by the cold winter-waste Of
time and money.

grain, clover, alfalfa, etc.

suits Of the experiments made by
the Bureau of Entomology tend to
show that the most profitable time
for applying the poison would be
from that time N. Whether the
control given by this poisoning will
make it unnecessary to conduct the
usual fight against overwintered
weevil by picking up and destroying
the early infested squares is not yet
certain. Tht probability is, how
ever, that a combination of the two
methods will prove most effective.

Fruit Trees.

Are you planning to put out an
orchard this fall, if so, don't be de-
ceived and buy your trees from the

and gave from two to three times
as much for trees than they really
cost. One man told me personally
that he bought so many trees for
$500, when I could have saved him
$500 on the same trees. Where does

SEWARD GATEWAY
Reduces in Size and at Same Time Increases Its
 Advertising Rates
Steward Gateway)

Beginning tomorrow, the Sew. ard Gateway will be issued as two page newspaper and thereaf- ter on Mondays, Tuesdays, We'd nesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, but the Weekly Post, with the news of the week and much ad- ditional news, will be issued and distributed in Seward on Satur- days.
 Beginning tomorrow, the ad- vertising rates will be increased 9 per cent
 Both of the above conditions are caused by the present world war strife. It costs money to publish a newspaper nowadays and a large newspaper requires more employees than a smaller one, and the government is ask ing for a release of man power which is not perfectly essential in the operations of various in- dustries. Another thing, there is no use fooling ones self about population, and loss of population means that 9 newspaper loses in many ways.
 Regarding the advance in the advertising rates, there is no newspaper in Alaska, no news paper in the States but what ad- vanced advertising rates months and months ago. The Seward Gateway has advanced neither in the subscription price nor ad- vertising. But news print, the paper required in this production has advanced from two and three quarter cents to eight cents- This price does not include freight, wharfage and drayage. Ink, metal, every article used around a newspaper office has doubled and in some cases trebled.
 The Gateway hereafter will contain all advertising matter only occupying less space. In the Weekly Post the advertising space will be the same as in the present makeup of the Gateway. The Gateway hereafter will con- tain principally the telegraphic news and such local news as can not be held for the Saturday edition.
 Don't condemn the new depar- ture until it has been tried, and assist as much as possible in aid ing.
 The job department, one of the revenue producing ends of newspaper in Alaska, will be maintained as usual and all work receive prompt attention.
