GENERALLY ABUNDANT

Advices received by the department
of agriculture from its agents in the
field indicate that there will be no
general shortage of labor for the
wheat harvest, and that in some areas
there will be decided surplus.
In Kansas, where the harvest begins
about June 10 in the southern tier of

is low.
For this reason is it very import
ant thatevery ear of see corn should
be tested before 1t is planted next
spring.
Poor seed is one of the chief
causes of a poor stand and a poor
stand means a SMALL yield.
There is nothing else that will do
so much to increase the yield of
corn on every farm as the making
of termination test of six or eigh'
kernels from each ear to be used
as seed and discarding those ears
which show weak OR sickly roots
or stem sprouts. The most common
mistake is to conclude that we can
judge the termination power of seed
corn by looking at it and that it
does not need testing.

1t is possible that rot diseases
carry over one year to another in
the soil! it is certain they carry
over in the seed, and one of the best
methods for the control of these
rots is the selection OF disease-free
seed ears.
The termination test will help
US in picking out these diseased
ears. Kernels that are diseased may
show good termination but the stem
sprouts will be discolored-pink or
brown or some other shade that
will readily show the experienced
corn grower something is the mat

are rotted or moldy on the inside.
The safest rule is: Discard every

 As a sourdough who has been from one end of Alaska to the other and one who expects sooner or la&- CT to make the Territory hig home. venture to hope that this session of the Legislature will provide for Territorial publicity department. This Is a matter In which every Alaskan, particularly the business man, Is vitally interested. and the need for such a department prob. ably was never SO great as 1t is today.
 As one of the editors of the Lit erary Digest have had an excel lent opportunity during the past two years to study the newspapers of the entire country. In that time 1 have come to pealize how little is pnown of the Territory. Misstate- ments of fact occur in practically every one of the hundred or nose editorials that have collected in the past year; it is nc wonder that the people of the United States proper have an erroneous idea oi Alaska! Most people have an idea that Alaska is a good place to keep away from: that it Is fit only for Eskimos and polar bears. They have no idea o1 it's agricultural, mining. fishing and pulp and paper posSibilities-to mention only a few.
 Now. this is all wrong; 1t is a bad thing for Alaska. And only a cam. paien of education In American newspapers and magazines will help matters. You and 1 may have the sfeatest faith in Alaska, but the people down here are not mind readers, In eFder to attract set- tiers and capital to tho Territory, the people whom you wish to at. tract must bs enlightened by @ brisk campaign of education,

advocates a system OF underground

"The highways Of the future" says
Mr.. Diehl. must have roadways of

but for the comfortable confidence OF

run on a popular thoroughfare, but
the condition of his nerves after he
has balanced himself 80 times an hour
between IA yawning ditch at his right
and whizzing cars at his left, is some
thing that need not be described to
the average driver. because he has
been there.
Fear of an open ditch breeds over
caution that drives men to the other
extreme ana brings about collisions.
On fairly wide roadways with deep
bitches drivers are reluctant to use
only one-half of the roadway, since
u moml ltary slip means disaster. AL

French Birth Rate increases.

Vital statistics show that the birth
rate increased in France in 1920. At
Marseilles, for the first time in years,
the number of births greatly exceeded
the number of deaths. At Chalon-sur-
Saone the total of births for the year
was $50 and that Of deaths $40 only,
whereas the figures for 1919 had been,
births 400 and deaths 81. In Toulon
the number of births exceeded by 11S
that of deaths, something that has not
happened for thirty years. From Or
leans satisfactory figures have also
been communicated, and at Dieppe the
number of births exceeded by 80 per
cent the number of deaths.
