 ALASKA A CHANCE

 He declares, in his review of con ditions in the northern territory, that the coast and geodetic survey is vital agency in the develop ment of Alaska. He points out that the country is looking to Alaska for raw materials for paper and sub stitutes for wooden boxes, and says there are hundreds of harbors along the Alaska coast, adequate to carry large vessels; and abundant water power for the operation of indus trial plants such as he suggests.
 For fifty-three years" the report says, i've have gone along, giving this vast and rich empire a dab of paint here and there, but we have had no definite policy, not even the suggestion of one that has been fully and comprehensively carried out.
 ''All the millions of Government and private money invested in mines and other enterprises will be waste and the vast resources of the ter, ritory worthless of vessels cannot reach the ports and reach the rail roads"
 The report urges the immediate consideration of Alaskan problems with a view to opening up the ter ritory to the fullest possible devel- orment.

FAMOUS INK IS RUINED

The time honored bugbear. "meet-
ing the interest payments without
going broke. is getting it in the neck
by men who are following the thrift
teachings of the Government Savings
Organization. The plan being used
follows:
A man of ordinary circumstances
has first mortgage on his home OF
$1,000 At 6 per cent payable semi-an-
nually. He also has insurance prem
iums amounting to $100 payable semi
annually. This is common combina
ton, and he is paid on the | and IL
Of each month He simply instructs
his postman to bring him two War
Savings Stamps each day and then
promptly forgets the obligation
What is the result?
On June 18th or 18th the systema-
tic man makes written demand on his
postmaster to redeem the stamps. Or
or before July l he gets his money
S99.i8 plus accrued interest and in
surance. Simple as the proverbial
falling off the log. say those who have
tried it.
Men whose insurance and interest
payments are scattered keep their
stamps separated on different ccrti
ficates, each labeled for its intended
use. There is no need to think OF
them until notified that payments will
soon be due. The postman is glad to
do the service. the Government is glad
to sell and redeem the stamps and the
individual doesn't molest his checkirQ
account, his savings account nor his
memory. 1t is claimed this auto
matte" system does not interfere with
savings banks. In fact, it is said that
since the W. s. s. movement began
savings deposits have increased fifty
per cent in the United States.

COUNTY ASSESSOR
TO GATHER DATA
FROM FARMERS

County Assessor J. A. McClary has
received from the State Board of I'M
migration the schedules to be used
this year in collecting agricultural
statistics, as required under the AgI3-
cultural statistics law passed in 1919.
The information to be collected this
year is about the same as that collect
ed last year, with few items added.
The most important addition is ~
garding fruit, each farmer being ask
ed under the new schedule to give the
number of fruit trees of bearing age
of the various kinds to be found on his
farm and the number of acres in small
fruits. This information was not ask
ed for last year and will not be asked
for again for two or three years, %
it is especially important that this
part of the survey be covered COM
pletely.
The schedule is simple and all ques-
tions may be answered by farmers
without reference 70 any books or &C.
counts. In addition to the number ol
acres of various crops they are rais-
ing this year farmers are requested TO
give the total acreage of their farms,
acreage first cropped this year, acres
of unbroken land fit for farming, mum.
ber of silos and farm tractors ana
number of hens and brood sows on
April /, 1920. Since the enumeration
is begun on April I. most farmers
will not have planted all their crops
when they are visited by the assessor.
They will b easked to give the total
acreage they expect to devote to each
crop this year. including what they
have planted and what they expect to
plant.
The information to be gathered thru
this survey will be used in keeping
farmers, transportation companies
and others Interested informed as to
the amount of the various crops that
will be produced in the different sec
tions Of the state. Crop bulletins
giving acreage, condition and estimat-
ed production Of all the principal crops
by counties will be published each
month and the best possible publicity
will be given them, so that the farm
ers, as well as those who deal in the
farmers products will be informed
regarding crop outlook and expected
production. II is believed that this
kind Of information will be Of great
value to the farmers in guiding their
marketing operations.
The law requires that each farmer
furnish the assessor or deputy the
information asked for and provides 4
penalty for failure on the part Of the
farmer to comply with the assessors
request. It also provides that no use
shall be made Of individual reports Of
farmers except in compiling totals
for the various counties. In other
words, the individual reports Of farm
ers are strictly confidential and severe
penalties are prescribed for disclosing
them.
