Several thousand plants resulting from

ton at Fairbanks, last year. In spite
Of unfavorable weather conditions--a
cold spring followed by severe drought
more than 1000 bushels of spring
wheat, oats, and barley were pro-
duced. Average yields of over IA
bushels an acre were obtained for
spring wheat, the seed for which was
obtained In 1914 from a Siberian ex-
pertinent station. Other varieties
yielded from II to 10 bushels an acre,
and yields of from 3S to 40 bushels
Of oats an acre are reported. Most
Of these grains were from pedigree
strains developed from the Rampant
station.
In an attempt to grow leguminous
plants for forage or green manure, IL
has been found at the Fairbanks sta
ton that red clover, which winterkills
badly, can be grown successfully as
an annual crop when seeded early In
May.
Potatoes are the principal money
crop of the Tanana valley. Yields OF
92 to 1872 bushels an acre were pro-
duced at the experiment station.
The stations at Fairbanks and Ram
part are giving special attention to the
production Of improved seed for Alas
kan use. In addition to grains, seed
of peas, turnips and other crops were
grown in considerable quantity for
1918 planting.

All tests gave results strikingly in
favor of insulated tanks as compared

The problem of controlling the Ru

First, Bella Kun had no difficulty
