The profits to be derived from the
cultiva ton of tobacco vary consld-
erably. Season and soil affect this
crop good deal. There has natur-
the market price from year to year,

coming into sight. Tobacco is
crop which requires a very consid-
cradle amount of hand labor in
planting, cultivation and harvesting.

Best Fertilizer for Wheat
V. Il. L., Gainesville, Ga, writes
What fertilizer will be best to put on
wheat to increase the number of bushels
per acre, and to make it grow faster
and when should it be applied?
There is probably only. one form
of fertilizing material which can be
added to the land at this season Of
| the year which will prove profitable
and beneficial under wheat. We re-
fer to nitrate of soda, or some other
carrier of nitrogen which will supply
available form and in considerable
quantity. Our experience indicates
| that about 100 pounds of nitrate. Of
soda can be applied as top dressing
to wheat with good advantage. AS
rule it should be put on in this
and fifteenth of March. Later applf-
cations will probably stimulate
growth at the expense of grain. Ear
| Iier applicat ions may not give as
large returns as will be obtained from
applying the nitrogen at the time
| indicated This material should be
put on the land, as you doubtless
know, when the leaves of the crop
are dry. 1t should be scattered over
the surface of the ground, say on
a bright, sunshiny day. and after
rather than before a rain. In the
morning Won may be surprised to find
that it has all disappeared. In that
event you will know that it has been
dissolved and absorbed by the water
in the soil. In ten days you will see
its effect on the crop in the improve
ment of it's general color.

, Most any wood except pine may be
used for making smoke. The pine
might give the meat resinouss taste.
Hickory will give the meat the best
flavor. A slow smoke is the most
satisfactory. If the temperature Of

the meat will absorb the smoke too

LONDON, Jan 30-Russian Grand Duke Cyril received a letter alleged to have been written by the former Grand Duchess Tatiana, one of Nich- olas Romanoff's daughters, saying that the former Empress and her daughters had not been killed. The Bolshevih officer, who had been or dered to carry out the sentence of death, according to the letter, said it did not matter to him who was shot; he had only to produce muti- lated corpse. Count offered to lay down his life for the former Czar, Tatiana writes. Nicholas Ro- manoff protested vehemently but fi- nally yielded to the loyal Counts sacrifice.

The action of The Empire Printing Company in increasing the subscrip tion price of The Empire has re ceived almost unanimous approval from Empire subscribers both in and out of Juneau. There has been less than a score to stop the paper on account of the raise, and few of those but admit that the raise was wise from business standpoint, and they stopped because, they said, ev. erything is raising so that the cost of living is pressing hard. Some of those have already renewed their subscriptions, and the new subscrip- tions received have far more than made up for the losses. Hundreds of people have expressed wonder that the subscription price was not raised before.

result in great hardship at this time
and should by all means be avoided
A temporary compromise should be
made pending an honest investigation
by congress with view to bettering
the miners conditions by ultimate ma
tionalization of the mines. Any basic
industry whose continuous operation
affects the life of the nation should
not be exploited for the profit of a
few. The sooner private greed is
curbed by congress, the sooner will
the present industrial unrest subside." "
Would Be Sympathetic"
Organized miners who have been in
terviewed on the subject admit that
any general strike in this state would
be largely Sympathetic" in it's nature.
Irving Matthias, secretary of the
United Mine Workers local at Wilton,
which is the oldest and the largest in
the state, says: .
"Our contract specifies that we shall
receive whatever scale is settled upon
by the United Mine Workers for the
central competitive field. illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Iowa. Should we
be ordered out here, it will be as a
sympathetic strike with the workers
in the bituminous fields"
When A Strike Would Come
Mine workers generally admit that
North Dakota strike would be GER
tain to follow any attempt to divert
the product from this field into terri
tory commonly served by the National
Coal Operators association, with
which the mine workers have their
quarrel, as a means Of breaking the
back of the strike. There is little pos
sibility that this could be done, how
ever, as the normal production Of
North Dakota Ignite mines in their
present development is barely suffi-
cient to supply the home demand. AS
matters now stand, general strike of
, North Dakota's organized miners is
possible, but hardly probable.
