During the past few weeks Che Suollcr's correspondence has been .pilng up to such an extent that. ii some of it is not answered and dis posed Of soon, rotary snowplow will be required to clear on his dcsk.
 Agriculturist You say this is your first winter in Alaska and that tho weather is not half as cold as you expected to find it Alaska. "Aggic." has us many divcrsitics of climate as thc state of Kansas has rcformcrs. Some times it depends on Che location and sometimes on the vagarics of old Bory This win ter. for example. it has not been very cold in this portion of Alaska. but last winter was a rccord-breakcr and next may be of the same brand. For example: Eighteen years ago che Stroller obligated himself to supply green paint to a character in Dawson who is known as Che Sour est of An Coughs" He is the relic ct .hc late Limpin' Grouse and when she was dying lac promised her he would keep her grave green when Nature did not supply the necessary vcrdurc i'm grass OF when it was not carpctcd with snow. The result has been that Che Stroller has been touched for Che price of two cans Of green paint every spring and fall ever since he promised Che old man ho would assist him in keeping in- violate his promise to the departed limpcr. A letter just received by thc Stroller from the old man says it now looks as though no less than three cans Of paint will be required this spring. as indications are that the scant snow which fell in that To- cality this winter will disappear 90 month or six weeks earlier than usual. making Che painting season just that much longer. From this you win observe. "Aggic,' this is a very mild winter. not only on the coast. but also iu Che interior. How ever. you win learn m the course Of fifteen or twenty years residence in Alaska Co not brag on the weather.

SELLING THE CHEAP
CUTS OF LAMB MEAT

The problem of selling cheap cuts
of lamb. which are commonly used
for stew. and retail slowly at 1G
cents a pound less than the rest Of
the carcass mas been solved by &
Chicago butcher. who works the
cheaper meat into lamb patties.
John Jameson, a Chicago bitch
er, has overcome the common oh
lection Ia the Lamb trade, from a rt-
tailOr's standpoint, namely the dis
posal Of the cheap meat of the lore
quarters. by bonins il cut grindins
aud seasoning the meat and mould
ing it into lamb patties. In this
form the cheap meat has boosted
rather than retarded trade, for the
demand for lamb pattIes is greater
than the supply. other butchers
are accomplishing similar results by
ton.ng and rolling the shoulder.

NORMAL ACREAGE
OF WHEAT URGED
State Food Committee Gives
Advice to FarmerS-Pre-
dict Fair Prices.

The state food production and
conservation committee advises
farmers 20 plant "a normal acreage
Of wheat and rye. and it believes
that a fair price will be offered for
the crops in 1920.
The committee met some time ago
with Gov. Goodrich and agreed
that It should get out a statement
on the causes OF tho high cost Of liv-
ing and the ways 10 meet il. The
statement has been prepared and
will De distributed by the Indiana
Federation Of Farmers association,
the state Bankers association. Pur-
due university and the State FERTILE
er Mer's association.
Urge Normal Acreage.
The campaign now being waeed
on the high cost or living is caus-
ing some confusion. especially in the
minds Of the farmers" reads "A part
OF the statement The farmer feels
that II prices are 10 be reduced and
conditions are 10 be unsettled he
should wait just "a little before de-
termining upon the program OF pro-
ductiOn for the coming year. Since
seeding time for fall wheat and rye
is at hand, 10 is necessary that farm
ers make imm ediate decision as TO
the crops 20 be planted.
The state food committee urges
Indiana farmers 20 plant this fall a
FORMAL acreage % wheat and rye.
Ii NAV not be desirable 20 plant an
excessive acreage. as has been done
the last two years. but it does seem
de>irabIe that farmers should place
their farming operations on nor
nal peace time basis The wheat
crop for 1919 has fallen far short
OF estimates made in the early sea-
son The present estimate for wheat
production is 9OO.OOO.O 900. while the
earlier estimate was 1900. 600, 900
bushels. showing a decrease Of more
than 100000. goo bushels.

shells OF wheat will be required 70

tea states TOT tlf tNIilNN n tAl- AAlS
leaves but 25o.00O.OO0 bushels for
export There is every evidence that
more than this will be required OF
the United States TO help feed the
hungry people OF Europe. There is
also evidence that if this amount Of
wheat is exported. there will be no
surplus or carry over whatever for
another year.
Conditions IN Europe while i'm
proved somewhat over that of war
time. are still very unsettled. Farm
ing operations have not reached a
normal state. and it is almost sure
that the demand from those coun-
tries for foodstuffs will be strong an
other year. IL is for this reason that
the committee believes that farmers
are assured a fair price Tor the 1920
wheat crop. Farmers should order
their fertilizers. prepare the seed bed
and arrange 10 plant a normal &C
reage or wheat, and in this way do
their part 20 supply the foodstuffs
necessary TO feed the people"

RAIN AIDS CORN
CROP OF STATE
Recent Storms Damage Fields
in Indiana-Pr0greSS in
ThreShing.

A summary OF weather and crop
conditions in Indiana. as given by
j. r. Arlington, OF the state
weather bureau. follows: Tempera-
lures were about normal during the
first part of the week, and some
what below at the end, with mod
erately warm weather intervening.
The temperature ranged from 90
degrees or higher at several stations
on Saturday afternoon 10 readings
in the forties at several stations on
Tuesday morning. Thunder show
ers occurred quite generally on
Wednesday. and again on Sunday.
The amounts were rather light in
northern sections. but over the re-
mainder OF the state the rainfall
was. as rule. sufficient Some
damage was done 10 crops and
buildings by wind which attended
Sundays thunder shower in and
about Marion county. Corn was
further generally improved by rain,
particularly in the southern and
central sections of the state. where
it's condition is now regarded as
generally good. but over most Of the
northern part of the state it is still
too dry. and the conditions of the
crop there, as rule, range from
poor to only fair.
Some Corn a Failure.
There are a number OF fields in
various parts of the state where
corn is a complete failure as a re-
suit Of continued dry weather. A
considerable part of the crop IL
made i'm the southern counties, but
it is not so well advanced farther
north Good progress was made
with both threshing and blowing,
but the soil is still too dry in some
limited areas for blowing. Pastures,
potatoes and truck have improved;
their condition, however, is still
rather poor.
Summary of Country.
A summary for the entire cOun-
try. by the United States department
Of agriculture, follows: The week
was somewhat warm in most east
ern. northern and western states.
Moderate showers were sufficient
for crop needs in the east and south.
Sunshine was adequate. except in
the south. Very dry weather con-
tinued from the central plains
northwestward, which very unfavor-
ably affected vegetation. Corn inn
proved in much OF the Ohio valley
and in some southern districts, but
it's condition generally is poor in the
immediate lower Ohio valley south
ern Missouri and the central great
plains.
Threshing OF winter and spring
wheat progressed favorably. with
no improvement in the spring wheat
yield. Fall blowing was delayed
in many central districts by dry soil.
The week was unfavorable for pas
lures and truck in most sections
west of the Mississippi river, but
conditions were more favorable TO
the eastward.
