What Helps the Farmer Most?

With view to ascertaining ius,
what agencies are the most useful
10 the farmers, the United States
Department of Agriculture recently
sent out inquiries to 1890 repre-
sentative farmers in a number OF
northern and western states.
Replies disclose that the county
agent, together with the County
Farm Bureau takes first place in this
respect. The agricultural press is a
fairiy close second. Only three per
cent said they received most help
from bulletins and agricultural re-
ports and the same percentage placed
the help received from miscellaneous
agricultural organizations first.
More than one-fifth had no definite
opinion as to which was most helm
full to them.
An indication of the efficiency O.
farm bureau work is found by con-
trasting the replies in state where
the farm bureau is organized and i'm
those where 1t is not. In the former.
DO per cent of the farmers inter-
viewed placed the county agent and
the farm bureau first among the
agencies that are of service to them,
and only 1S per cent placed the agrl-
cultural press first. In states that
have no farm bureaus, % per cent
placed the county agent first and 80
per cent placed the agricultural press
first.
OF the farmers visited, two out Of
every three We're acquainted with
the county agent and his work. and
80 per cent of them were favorable
to it. One farmer out OF every three
was receiving the bulletins of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, and two out OF every five
the bulletins of the state college Of
agriculture. Four farm families out
OF every five were taking both a
daily and an agricultural paper, and
one out of every two magazine,
usually woman's magazine. One
farmer in every three visited was a
member of the farm bureau and one
of every four was a member of some
other organization.

Raising of Black
 Siberian flares a
 Profitable Industry

The raising of black Siberian hares is likely to become one of the profitable industries of the north, according to John Tanning of Wrangell. The skins sell at from $5 to $10 each, while the meat is more in demand than chicken, and always brings a good price.
 Black Siberian hares are great breeders. MT. Tanning imported a trio two years ago, and since then has sold between $500 and $2000 worth of rabbits that were the descendants of this original trio.
 According to MT. Tanning black Siberian hares are hardy and re- quire only ordinary attention. Anyone can raise them as a side line with less bother than would be necessary to care for the same number of chickens.

 Hawkins at Seward

H. L. Rowley and family de- parted this week for Seward where they will make their future home. Since coming to Wrangell Mir. Rowley has been connected with the Matheson store. AL though the Rowleys had lived here less than a year the family had become a factor in the life of the community, and it is with re- gret that Wrangell gives them up.
 MT. Rowley has accepted a po- sition with the firm of Brown & Hawkins who operate stores at Seward and Anchorage. Charles B. Brown, a member of the firm recently closed a deal in New York for $2, 100000 to establish chain of stores in Alaska, with head quarters at Anchorage.
 The company will erect large cold storage warehouses at An chorage and Seward and expect to follow the line of the Govern ment railroad north.
 Brown & Hawkins will also put on line of steamers from San Francisco and Seattle to Anchor age, carrying their own merchan- disc, and intend later to enter the Siberian trade.

Subscriber Dislikes
 Way American Boats
 Are Being Managed
Thinks There Is No Reason for Anchoring at the Mouth of the Narrows When Tour ists Would Prefer to Be Ashore at Wrangell.
Editor Sentinel:

Editor Sentinel:
 It is quite a common thing to hear officials of the American boats lament that tourists prefer to travel by the Canadian boats rather than by the American. Is there any reason? Wrangell from tourist standpoint is one of the most interesting towns along the whole route. How are the tourists treated? This is an example:
 The Spokane loaded with tour ists on the way north arrives at 4 a. m. It stays about an hour, and hurries away to anchor for hours out in a small bay waiting for the tide so it can go through the narrows. On the way south it reaches Wrangell at 8 a. m. and stays about one half hour.
 Tourists pay money to see Alas ka and the towns along the way, and they are cheated out of it by the steamboat companies when it would not cost them a cent more, even to keep their promises to the tourists. Is it surprising that tourists. whenever possible, avoid American ship?
