To-day R. C. Woods, president of the First National Bank, starts on the sixteenth year of his career az a banker in Fairbanks. On Septem- Der 9, 1911, he and others opened their first bank. The Fairbanks Banking company, and since that time Dick has been banking right here.
 "tilto"n years are not such a long timc," said MT. Wood, last night, "to do business in good town. 1 have seen Fairbanks in it's boom days when everybody. had money to burn.

Referring to his present visit, MT. Hallowell described his trip up the Inside Passage, stopping at Ketchi- kan, Juneau, Skagway. Anchorage. and to Seward. He told of his jour. ney over the line. completed and uncompleted; of his surprise at the grandeur of the scenery; of his de- light at the magnificent country he was seeing for the first time. Last of all he came to Fairbanks and visited it's creeks, it's mines and its farms. Perhaps" he said, the best of all was saved until the last. have gone into your mines, talked to miners themselves, walked over your farms and held conversations with the farmers. I have investigated conditions as thoroly as possibly in the short time have been here." MT. Hallowelrs chief object is to develop 6 system of team work with Colonel Mears apd Dr. Brooks which will eliminate confusion. To create a clear working idea as far as Wash. ingtOn is concerned and work in conjunction with, and along some line at variance with other Alaska agencies. "lt is the intention of the department, Secretary Lane and my self, to leave railroad building to 6 railroad builder" declared MT. Halo well.
 "A few hours after my arrival 1T town I read and article on what might be termed my keeping 'baG company he said. T want to say a few words about my travelling com panions. Colonel Mears is known 1T France and France has conferred or him the decoration of the Legion o Honor. His own country has giver him as a recognition for his wal service, the Distinguished Service Medal. That is the kind of 6 maI you will have at the head of you railroad and who will complete thu road if the appropriation recent! passed by the house passes the sen ate."
 His other companion, Dr. Brooks he referred to as knowing as mucl about the country as any other liv ing man.

well whom he said had seen every foot of the road and right-of-way and who would be in a position to talk about it when he got back to Washington. He described the Broad Pass gap as offering no serious ob- stacles to road construction. The summit of the pass he said was 2,4OO feet above the mean sea level and the approach was made over the benches by easy grades.
 Regarding his plans for interior construction work, he reiterated his statement given The Citizen several days ago that he naturally would confer with MT. Browne before mak- ing any announcement or even |; decision. This conference has been prevented heretofore by the latter's illness. It will probably be

 At present steel is laid to south of Mile 366. There is A gap at tho Nenana river where the temporary structure at the 43.Mile bridge was swept away last spring by high wa. ter. Another structure is being pu, in there. and with the passage of the new appropriation by the senate. plans for a permanent structure will be laid and 1t is probable that mater. ial will be shipped in next spring land the bridge installed before an. other winter arrives. This. he said will give Fairbanks connection with a sure fuel source in the main Ne. mana fields. of which only the first of the coal resources have been touched by the Burns mine.

The reports of agricultural work
accomplished thru cooperation with
agricultural agents show some
splendid results. 1t seems as if every
line of agriculture is rapidly improv.
ing. The boys and girls clubs are
going to train their young people in
to some of the best citizens in the
country. They are now taking
premiumsN away from their parents
right along, and the pleasing side of
this is that the parents are tickled to
death that their children can do it.
When one little girl took first prize
on her canned goods at her county
fair and her mother took second, it
was hardTto tell whether mother or
daughter was more pleased. All past
records were broken in Nashville at
the Fat Stock Show when the
Hawkins County Boys and Girls
Calf Club took second prize of $500
on their carload of baby beef grade
Herefords. They are planning to
take first premium next year, and if
the older farmers are not mighty
careful, they will do it. In the same
show Martha Campbell took first
premium on her Angus baby beef and
Henry Walters was awarded first
premium for his Hereford baby beef.
Mr.. A. B. Cherry, demonstration
of Montgomery county, has found, he
says, that crimson clover is a good
fertilizing crop. He is expecting a
yield of $500 pounds of tobacco
from acres of land that would not
produce 600 pounds before it was
sown in crimson clover. This same
land was purchased for $500 an acre
about 16 years ago, and the increase
in value can readily be seen as the
production has increased to such an
extent.
q. Hector West, boy corn club men,
Der also of Montgomery county, won
first prize at his county fair on his
corn. He had followed very care
fully his county agents instructions
in the preparation of his land, and
care of his crop. He made an aver
age yield of 1929 bushels an acre,
while he reports that the average
yield per acre of corn in his COM
munity is about rs bushels. The
total expense of producing his corn
was $23.05, and his profit was
Sash. This boy is already making
plans for his crop next year and is
planning on carrying away another
blue ribbon from the grown folks.

ACREAGE OF TENNESSEE
WHEAT CROP

The 1888 Tennessee wheat
acreage was about $4,000 acres,
with yield of bushels to the acre,
which is one of the lowest yields
known, and total yield of 100000
bushels, and that of a very poor
quality. The popular belief has
been that Middle Tennessee is the
largest wheat producing section in
the State, and in former years if has
been. However, East Tennessee has
produced in the past few years, as
much or more wheat than Middle and
West Tennessee combined. This fall
East Tennessee has produced the lar
gest portion of the States entire
crop. The weather conditions have
been partly responsible fors this. Due
to the heavy rains and many early
fields becoming infested with Hessian
fly the winter crop is going into
winter in very low condition.
The fall rains have caused much
trouble to farmers. Up to the mid
die of December only about 1910. of
the fall blowing had been done.
Wages of farm labor have been con-
siderably increased over last years.
