OLDEST MINING CAMP
IN ALASKA DESERTED

The KoYukuk mining district, one
of the very Oldest in Alaska, dating
from 1884, is now in the throes of a
fight to remain on the map. Prices of
necessaries, always high in that re-
gion, when given additional impetus
during the war, started an exodus of
the few remaining miners out of the
country.
Travellers arriving from the dig
gings, $50 miles north of the Arctic
circle, say that the Red Mountain re-
gion, in the lower section OF the Koyu-
kuk district, is practically deserted.
Arctic City and Bergeman, small To-
calities, are no more. Forty-five miles
up the Koyukuk river, where Vn the
early days was quite settlement
that went in and out to the diggings
on Gold Bar, nothing remains but a
few native tabfns. Bettles is still in
existence; Gold Foot, Myrtle Creek
and Nolan Creek are also hanging on
to the name of camp. But the old
miners have largely gone, and whether
the famous mining district Is ever re-
juvenated again, none can foretell.

 Summary of Control Measures for the
 Army Worm.
 
 1. Watch fields of growing grass md grain carefully. especially the meadows. during the spring and early summer months. to discover the army worms before they become full grown and spread over the entire farm. When the worms are discovered at work, do not lose a minute, but attack them vigorously by means of the meas ures outlined in foregoing paragraphs.
 2. Poison them by spraying crops not intended for forage with one pounl of Irnris green to 60 gallons of water, oriwith two pounds of pow dered arsenate of lend to 90 gallons of waterI In case the paris gfen is used on tender plants, like corn, add two pounds of freshly-slaked hne to 90 gallons of the mixture. This Is to prevent burning the tender plants. Winery spraying is not practicable, the use of the poisoned-bran btit al. ready mentioned is strongly 1ecom- meEded.

PREVENT INJURY
 BY ARMY WORMS
Important That Pest Be DlSCoV- cred Before Crops Have Been
 Seriously Damaged.
EXAMINE MEADOWS CLOSELY
Grass or Grain Should Be Carefully Inspected to Detect Presence of CaterpiIlarePoisone eaits
 May Be Used.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricuture.)
 Watchfulness is the key to success in cases of invasion by army worms, which are young of certain moths or millers that fly only at night. The eggs from which the army worms hatch are laid commonly on grasses or grasslike grains and the tiny cater pillars, upon matching, feed for several days near the ground, hidden by Over- hanging grasses or grains and thus may escape notice until nearly full grown, by which time they have be- come widely distributed over the in- Tested fields.
 Upon the discovery of the pest in its younger stages depends very largely the possibility of stamping out infes- tationS before serious injury to crops has occurred. Meadows therefore should be examined frequently, partic- ularly those planted to timothy, blue grass, wheat, and especially millet, to discover the young worms.
 If the infested spot be small, the grass or grain can be moved off and straw scattered over the spot and burned, thus destroying the worms. If the caterpillars have become distributed over Il considerable area, this can be marked off by stakes and the crop sprayed heavily with solution of paris green at the rate of one pound to 90 gallons of water, or of arSenate of lead at the rate of two pounds of the paste or one pound of the pow der to 90 gallons of water.
 Poisoned Baits for the Army Worm.
 Poisoned baits have long been used as d means of destroying the numer- ous species of cutworms and also the army worm. An efficient bait of this kind may be prepared and used as fol- lows: To 50 pounds of wheat bran and one pound of paris green or two pounds of powdered arsenate of lead add the juice of one-half dozen or auges or lemons.

CARE AND ATTENTION
 NEEDED BY TERRACES
Should Be Looked After Before
 Loose Soil Settles.
Weak Places Should Be Inspected In. mediateIy After Each Rain and Breaks Repaired-Sow Some
 Kind of Cover Crops.

Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agricufture) Terraces require considerable care and attention. especially during the first year, before the loose soil has had time to become settled thoroughly. All apparently weak places should be visited after every heavy rain. and any breaks should be repaired immedi- ately with shovel. Ii is best not to cultivate the terraces the first year, but to seed them to some kind of cover crop.
 It is advisable to run the crop rows parallel to the terraces, one row be- ing planted on top of the terrace. The cultivation of the top row tends to keep the top of the terrace at the proper height. Where the rows are run across the terraces. as is done commonly on moderate slopes, the top

There seems to be a feeling among majority members in congress that the United States regular army safely can be cut to r25,o00 men after peace definitely Is established Therefore the country can see at once how wide the variance is between congress and milt- tary chieftains on the subject of the force necessary for the country to maintain under the ordinary conditions of world affairs. It seems that tho chief of staff believes the provisions of the League of Nations win make it necessary for us to maintain m army of half a million. notwithstanding the fact that the league in its provisions aims to make military forces to a con. siderable extent unnecessary. How. ever, as the chief of staff views 1t, tho force win be necessary in case the provisions of the league nrc violated and the United States intends to live up to It's obligations under the cove nnnt.

soil is moved down the side slopes by cultivation. AS result. the terraces are more liable to break, and much more maintenance work is required tran where the rows are run parallel to the terraces.
 All terraces that are cultivated should be plowed at least once year. and the soil should be thrown to the center. In this way the height of the terrace is kept up and the base may le broadened each year.
 Steep land that washes badly be- tween the terraces should not be cul- tivated. The terraces should first be well built and the entire field seeded to grass and used for pasture or meadow.
 When it is found necessary to cross farm road in terracing field, the building of the terraces should be con tinued across without regard to the 1 road Where the terraces are as much as 20 feet broad, no provision need be [ made for passing traffic across them, | but they should be carefuliy mann tained to prevent possible breaks.
