Paris, Sept 4.-The ultimatum to be
sent by the allied council to Rumania
is forced by repeated refusals of the
invade's to heed warnings that the
looting of Hungary must stop. The
Rumanians have not only held Buda-
pest in grip of steel but have pro-
ceeded deliberately to strip the coun-
try of food, cars, locomotives, machin-
cry and every other form of transport
able wealth that they could seize. The
treaty that Hungary is about to be
forced to sign means absolute ruin. 1t
is understood here that failure to heed

FARMING M ALASKA
By MISS LENA H. WHITE. in New West Magazine, of Salt Lake.

i is always enough left to supply the needs of the local community. Cab
 bages develop heads often more than four times as large as the head of the average person and rutabaga, raised in 1918 at Dawson, the metro polls of the Klondike, in the Yukon Territory, measured forty-seven in and other garden truck grow won
 derfully.
 At Fairbanks wheat has matured which averaged sixty bushels to the acre. This was an unusual season it must be admitted. but it shows what can be accomplished. The United States Agricultural Experi ment stations at Rampant and Fair banks have succeeded, by cross-fer- tilization, in perfecting hardy var ioties of grains which will withstand the first frosts and mature early in the Fall Wheat ripens in the In terior every year and J. Weist, one of the pioneer farmers of the Tan ana, has installed a small test mill with a view to milling homegrown flour. Officials of the Fairbanks station claim that enough flour can be milled next Fall to supply the entire Fairbanks district if the farm CTS save last Falls grain for seed ing this Spring. Fine crops of bar ley, oats and rye have been raised f0r sr, the interior valleys of the Territory.
 Alaska is the home of the wild berry. From Douglas Island, where the blueberry grows as large as small pie cherries, to the Arctic Circle, some variety of wild fruit may be found. Cranberries, both high and low bush varieties, are most abundant and supply appropriate sauce for the grouse and duck which the Northern hunter knows both how to bag and how to cook. Rasp- berries, salmon berries, red and black entrants all flourish in different sec tions of the Territory, although at tempts to cultivate them have proved |, cnly partially successful.
 Farming may one day become leading industry of the Territory. but today and for years to come, agriculture must remain a secondard activity, dependent for success from a commercial standpoint upon the centers of such industries as mining and fishing. With a constructive Governmental policy to aid in the opening up of the natural resources throughout the Territory, with bet ter transportation facilities and with necessary assistance extended to the homesteader during his first year, Alaska may hope to build up large population of farmers and country which will number millions instead of a few thousands. Until such pro- gress is effected, Alaskan farmers

 The detachment was under com mand of Major I;. Blair, of Wash ington. D. C.. formerly of the United States Weather Bureau.
