From this table the deduction is
plainly that by using Is pounds Of
sulphate costing 65 cents Belgium
raised 21a times the wheat and pota-
toes as the United States. IL.
While all the credit cannot be due
to this one factor, the same time the
results could be attained by no other
means. ~
Much Peat in Minnesota.
Minnesota has 5,sO0,OOO,OOO tons Of
peat. The average nitrogen content is
about 2 per cent. Through gassifca-
ton about $50 pounds of sulphate of
ammonia can be recovered per ton of
peat ,making total of 435, O00,O 900 ton
at $50 per ton, 26 billion dollars. This
looks like the theoretical profit on
raising chickens, the figures don't
agree with practical results, but the
actual results are enormous.
Sulphate of ammonia is now by
product of making coke and gas. With
peat it will be the by-product of great
power plants using as fuel. Charcoal
can also be another by-product or the
main products may be considered the
charcoal and sulphate and the power
the by-product. The proportionate val
ues of ton Of peat will roughly be:
Gas. 5000 feet at 8 cents 49,. $3.50
Sulphate, $50 lbs. at 3 cents -. 4.5O
Charcoal, $50 lbs. at SIS per ton 500
By complete classification a much
greater amount of power can be gen
Grated. This is not a new and start
ling innovation. .By-products power
plants are in operation in European
countries. Some of these under very
advantageous conditions. One
Italian plant has small peat deposit,
five feet deep with one foot of gravel
in the middle requiring a very ex-
pensive hand operation. This deposit
would be laughed at in Minnesota
where we have individual boys with
thousands of acres and 20 or more
feet deep. r s -
1t is impossible to Comprehend the
big figures involved in Minnesota peat
but the values are comparable witt
the iron ores. A very few years age
even after their discos cry, many great
authorities could prove the ore to be
valueless on account of its. fine tex
ture. The same kind of people car
prove that peat is not disable, but for
tunately they are small minority.
Conserve Interests of State.
One feature of the development
which we should bear in mind is t.
properly conserve the interest of tn
state. Peat lands have been consid
cred the least valuable and great sum-
have been spent in drainage ditche
and in other means of making then
salable at any price. y
If such sums were available TO
demonstration of practical methods o
utilization, the great results, whic
must come some time soon, would al
rive more quickly and the harves'
lying dormant as our forests did TO
ages, can be systematically garnere
and with the values to the state care

DRY SUMMER OF 1915
 MAY BE CAUSE OF
 LIGHT SALMON RUN

Many of those, who have watched the seasons and the fisheries industry as a matter of business for years be. lieve the short run of salmon in Alaska this year is due largely to the circumstance of very dry season in 1915, when the streams were so low that the salmon could not ascend the streams to the spawning grounds. They call attention to the fact that slides in the Fraser river in 1913 destroyed the salmon run in 1917.
 There were scarcely no rain in Alaska in 1915, the weather continu- ing fine with bright sunny days until late in the fall, and the streams of southeastern Alaska contained very little water. Many of them were almost or>quite dry, and salmon were unable to ascend them
 It is the generally accepted theory that salmon return to fresh water when four years of age to spawn and die, and the fact that very few sal mon were able to get up the streams to the spawning ground in 1915. is believed to account for the fact that there were very few salmon matched that year to return this.
 The fact that the salmon run was generally failure along the whole coast of Alaska, from Bristol Bay on the north to the southermost extrem ity of the Territory and in British Columbia is pointed to as an argu- ment in favor of the theory that it was the dry season of 1915 rather than over fishing that caused tho failure this year. Ut is contended that if the failure had not been due to some general capse the run would have been good in those sections that had not been overfished four years ago.

TT MAY COST A PRECIOUS LIFE TO

The heart of every user of tobacco
bears a double burden. 1t does it's al
loted task and then fights nicotine for
supremacy. As long as the heart wins
he lives: when 1t loses. he dies, but
before the 1nal victory Of nicotine you
pass through many stages of decline
and decay and suffer many pangs.
Hearts are like human beings-some
are stronger than others. therefore
some hearts win stand more tobacco
than others. but there Is a limit to
what any heart can stand. The man
who puts this additional strain on his
heart a dozen times a day by smok-
Ing cigarettes. 81 pipe or cigars-or
chewing tobacco-is taking a mad
mans chance with health and life to

chance that he may not lose them.
He Is tndulgins in a costly habit at
the expense of precious health. Ask
any doctor anywhere. and he will tell
you hat using tobacco Is injurious
and that 1t is far better to quit the
habit than to experiment to find how
much tobacco your heart will stand
without serious results.
But the thought of quitting Is un-
pleasant to most men-even to those
who know that tobacco injuries them
