co TO SKACWAY

With Herd For Matan-
uska and Fairbanks

Experiments by Government Ag-
Iicultural stations to the Westward
and in the Tanana Valley in the
livestock industry for Alaska are

;cr this purpose having passed
through Juneau on the steamer

Station, situated about three miles
from Ike town Of Fairbanks. Mr..

uska Experiment Farm.
Part of the cattle will be I'M
loaded at Skagway and shipped over
the White Pass to- Whitehorse for
transportation down the river. 1t
will be looked after by Mr.. Snod-
grass The other will continue on
! the Northwestern to Anchorage and
shipped over the Government rail-
road to the Government farm.
Snodgrass Cattle Expert
The cattle were purchased by
Mr. Snodgrass and Dr. G.. c. Geor-
geson, head of the experimental
work in Alaska being conducted by
the Department of Agriculture. Mr..
Snodgrass, who was in charge of the
Kodiak station for several years,
introduced the Galloway herd at
that point and is rated as the lead
ing authority in the breeding of
cattle in the Territory. He has
been urging the Department to start
herd in the Tanana Valley since

Association. cooperative organi-
cation of Fairbanks farmers, the

/ wheat will be ground by the mill
( this season. Mr. Snodgrass said
! that he had no information regard
ing the crop conditions in the Tan
ANA Valley, as he had left Fair
! banks before the snow was off the
! ground and had not been il any
, one place long enough for his mail
to catch up with him. He is CON
fident that agriculture will be the
big industry of the Tanana Valley
/ section of the Territory eventually.
Matanuska Crops Good
Mr. Marine, who came here to
meet Mr. Snodgrass, stated that the
/ conditions in the Matanuska Valley
are favorable for the farmers. Much
| erain has been planted in that dis
trict and good harvests are expected
| this fall. The Government farm
has 40 acres sowcd to grain which
was in fine shape when he left.
Other individual farmers have also
put in considerable grain in addi-
ton to the usual root vegetable
crops. Last year, Mr.. Marino stat
ed. wheat was thrcshed in the Mat
anuska Valley that ran as high as
as bushels to the acre, oats run
ming 20 bushels and the best barley
he ever saw harvested anywhere.

Postage Rates For Eggs,

Average hens eggs will weigh a.
bout l 1-2 pounds to the dozen, OF
2 ounces apiece. The weight of a
single dozen of eggs in a certain pro-
perly packed and wrapped for mail
ing will run from to pounds, de-
pending on the nature of the 7artic-
ular container, the size of the eggs,
and the packing and wrapping used.
If the container be a very light one
and the eggs small. the parcel may
fall within the pound limit, and
the postage, thereon, within the
fi'st and second zones, or 150-mile
limit would be 6 cents. Most parcels
containing a dozen eggs will exceed
2 pounds but will not reach g.;
therefore the postage on them will
be cents within the first and Sec
ond zones. A parcel containing
dozen eggs will add perhaps 2 cents
10 the postage, though sometimes
only l cent, depending on the nature
of the container and the packing ard
wrapping.

Egg Production of Country.

Egg production doubtless is the
leading branch Of poultry keeping
and, in addition, is a very important
agricultural activity. According to
the last census the eggs produced in
the United States in 1919 numbered
more than $4,000, 900 dozens,
with a value of more than $500, 600
COO. Eggs, of course, are produced
wherever chickens are kept, and by
Tar the greater part of the egg crop
comes from the general farm, yet
large so-called egg farms have been
developed with the main purpose Of
producing eggs for market The
largest of these egg farms and the
greater number Of them are located
rear markets which pay premium
for white eggs; and for this reason
together with the fact that eggs are
primarily desired, the breeds kept
are those known rs the egg breeds,
srch as the Leghorns, Campine Mi
norca, and Ancona. The Single Comb
White Leghorn is undoubtedly the
most popular and the most widely
kept variety of the egg breeds. These
breeds comprise the Mediterranean
and Continental classes, as given in
the American Standard of Perfect
ion. The egg breeds frequently are
found on general farms also. par
t'cularly in those sections near mar
kets preferring a white egg, and
where considerable flo2ks of poultry
are kept.

POINTS FOR AUTOMOBILE DRIv-
Frs.
Keep Some of These Things iii Your
Mind.

The Minnesota secretary Of state
has issued manual for motorists in
which, all the laws governing the use
OF motor vehicles are outlined as re-
ported In recent account in the
Minneapolis Journal.
In this booklet the secretary points
out that there are two laws govern
ing the law of the road. The FIRST is
the law of courtesy and the second
is statute law.
THE statute law will seldom be
violated if the law of courtesy is
strictly Observed" states the secre-
tary. Tho broad principles upon
which the traffic laws of America are
based are the right of pedestrians
Upon the highways is superior to all
others and the right of drivers of
animal propelled vehicles is SUPER
ior to the rights of drivers of motor
vehicles"
Turnout the manual the secretary
makes many curt statements TO be
needed by everyone. Some of these
are:
A motor vehicle is not 40 ,airplane
don't try to fly.
Roads were made to travel on, net
to burn up.
1t takes gas to propell motor
vehicle-profanity won't co it.
When the other arm is occupied,
lie sure to drive slowly.
If you hunt game from a motor
vehicle, the game warden will hunt
you.
1t is unnecessary for the driver Of
a motor vehicle to blow up when he
has a blow out.
The motorist who leaves the scene
OF an accident in which he was the
participant, without stopping to as
certain the result, is a potential muir
derer.
None but thorobred pigs and chick
ems ever get crushed under a mot0r
vehicle.
1t is cheaper to keep motor We
aicle properly lighted and tagged
than to pay fines.
Brakes were put on motor vehicles
for use-not purely for ornamental
purposes.
Signalling at proper times often
saves lives; failure to do so often
causes death.
A person who stands in a busy
traffic route is a candidate fcr SUI
eide.
A street car runs on a fixed track
End can not get out Of the way for a
motor vehicle.
Watch out for children; child can
start quicker than a car can STOP.
Women drivers Of motor vehicles
should be given a careful considera-
ton and watching.
No driver OF a motor vehicle vas
ever brought into court charged with
driving too carefully.
Do unto other motorists as YOU
would have them do unto you, when
you find them stuck il the mud.
Motorists should preach the Cos
pei of good roads to all men and
great Will be their reward in tire
saving.
When a person buys a motor We
t'icle, the highways are not thrown
in.
