each year. They have been not only learning the English language and something of the sciences and of the world but they have been learning how to work, to accumulate property and to care for themselves under the changed conditions. Another twenty such years as We have had under the administration of MT. Lopp and the corps of assistants, and wonders will be worked. Not only should the bu- reau of education be supported in it's efforts but 1t should receive in- creased support so that 1t may ex- tend it's work
 And this is a matter that those of the native race who sometimes show impatience over the slowness with which their people are becoming recognized as citizens should take to heart. They should not become over jealous. They should do nothing that will curtail the work the bureau of education is doing in their behalf and in behalf of the territory. Let the good work go on, and leave to time and the cooperative efforts of all concerned the gradual work of as- icilation.-Juneau Empire.

FISHERIES LOOKING UP

Surprising to some residents of Ketchikan is the news that there is more fish coming into market in Ketchikan every day now than in any similar period during the past ten years. Dealers say there are more fishermen out every day and more of them coming in with halibut, king salmon and other varieties than ever known in Southeastern Alaska in No vember. This was true also during October and is likely to be so for the rest of winter, the buyers assert. And with it all, fairly good prices prevail, sufficient at least to pay the fishermen wages.
 While some who have had a bad season are sitting about the fire complaining of their luck the more thrifty are out fishing and getting re- turns for their work. One large deal. CT reports great deal of the fish is coming in from short distances, and that it is particularly high grade.
 Thus, even though some complain of their past seasons operations others worry not over the past, but looking to the future, get results, giv- ing Ketchikan the greatest winter fishing it has ever had
 So, it Is with mining. Mining is looking up about the whole district and number engaged in that line of endeavor predict it will be better within few months, that the value of the ounce of gold will increase and make 1t worth while for the pros- pector to search the hills for the precious metal.
 If the winter fishing Is better, the mining showing more activity than in | several years, the prospect of pulp mills next spring or summer bright, and a reasonably good fishing sea- son ahead next summer, Ketchikan has reason to be only optimistic. And on top of all that the sun is shining every day-Ketchikan Chronicle.

The bureau of education has been doing great work among the natives in Alaska for many years
 and no one who has lived in this territory for the last twenty years can fail to note the effect of the splendid efforts. The Alaska Indians and Eskimos are becoming more use- ful to the territory and to themselves

SEATTLE'S INTEREST IN ALAS
 KNS DEVELOPMENT

Of vital importance to the man con- sidering the future of industrial Se- attle is the great territory to the north of this port, and indications of late point to an unlocking of the resources of Alaska and the settling up of the territory.
 When that day comes Seattle will enjoy prosperity from that section just as it did in the days of the gold rush, but this time the benefits will be steady and lasting, for the settling of Alaska with farmers and produc- CTS will bring tremendous trade to the coffers of industries in Seattle.
 Alaska is one-fifth as large as all the AS states of the union. It has as many square miles as Germany, France and Spain together. It isf12 times as large as the state of New York.
 It is unique in it's geographic situ- stion, in it's climatic and scenic beau ty. Because of the Japanese cur
 
 rent its coast is warmer and more temperate than any other region that far north of the equator. Its noun tains overtop the Swiss Alps and it's fiords surpass those of Norway.
 It Is producing today at the rate of about $10O,OOO,0OO a year, and the basic resources, aside from gold, cop per and fish, have scarcely been touched. Tin, antimony, lead, gra- phite, cinnabar, palladium, platinum, molybdenum, marble, gypsum and bartyes are mined, but thus far in a primary way. The coal and mineral oil of Alaska are undeveloped be- cause congress has failed to provide 6 legal way of development. That way is now open. The continental shelf off the south coast of Alaska and the Aleutian islands is the most extensive fishing area in the world.
 Agriculture Is beginning in Alaska, and more than 1000 families are to- day making their living from the land. Wheat and other small grains have been developed that mature in the Alaska. season, while forage and vegetable crops grow luxuriantly. Alaska is beginning to grind flour from its own wheat and has self. sanders, threshing machines and tTactors.
 Closely akin to agriculture are the reindeer and musk-ox industries which will some day be among the great meat supply sources of the world The reindeer now number in excess of 14O,OOO animals.
 The spruce forests of southeastern and southern Alaska will furnish a large paper pulp industry
 The completion of the government railroad will turn attention to Alaska. and will mean an era of great pro- gross.
 Leadership in Alaska development has been taken by Seattle. The Alas ka bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has the most complete file of information on Alaska in ex. 1stence in the world. It conducted the campaign that secured the con. struction of the government railroad, and has fostered every important i'm. proVement. Its records and publi. cations are available to the public.

on the market at this time than at a
time when ordinary and normal con-

GARDEN INSECTS

In controlling garden insects there
are two principal insecticides, sug-
gests Prof. A. F. Conradi, chief of the
entomology division. One Of these is
arsenate of lead, which is poison U.S.
ed for the chewing insects such as
potato beetles and cabbage worms.
The other is nicotine sulpbate, which
is recommended for plant lice. 1t is
well to keep these two insecticides on
hand. The arsenate of lead is purchas-
cd as dry powder, and should not be
more than .75 Of per cent. water
soluble. 1t may be used by d. ting it
in the morning when the plants are
wet with dew at the rate of pounds
per acre, or it may be sprayed by ad-
ding one ounce of arsenate of lead to
an ordinary 21a gallon pail Of water.
1t should be remembered that be-
fore adding arsenate of lead, Paris
green, calcium arsenate or any other
powder to water, little water should
be first added and stirred into paste.
Those who desire to make UP larger
amounts for spraying should write
for Extension Circular II.
Nicotine sulphate is a concentrated
tobacco liquid, and the spray is made
by adding a tablespoonful of nico-
tine sulphate to an ordinary 21a gal
lon pail of water.
Soap suds from piece of common
soap about a cubic inch in size and
added to the nicotine spray, will i'm
prove it. Soap containing coal tar or
naptha should NEVER be used.

WILL OUR FARMERS REDUCE
THE COTTON ACREAGE
BY w. w. Long, Director.

By w. w. Long, Director.
Not since the early COS have the
cotton farmers been so perplexed and
demoralized as they are today. At
that time cotton was selling for 6 to
cents pound. 1t was most difficult
to secure credit at anything like a
reasonable rate. The banks in the
state could be counted on your two
hands. A great number of our farmers
of today remember those conditions
and they are reasoning with them
selves about as follows:
II have made cotton at cents a
pound and made some little
money. l am going to make this crop
on the basis of 8 and 10 cents a pound
for the reason that l am not going to
purchase anything for myself or my
tenants that l can do without. an
going to practice the most rigid eco.
onmy. Cotton is the only crop that ]
can grow that will bring in any money
for myself or my tenants. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary for my tenants to
produce crop that they can readily
sell for cash, otherwise they will leave
me-"
With these thoughts in their minds
and in their state of perplexity with
the little more favorable news that is
now being printed in the press in ref
erence to higher prices that may be
expected from cotton, fear that a
great many of our farmers will be
tempted at the last moment not to re.
duce their cotton acreage as much as
they had intended to thirty or sixty
days ago. Any one travelling in the
Piedmont will be impressed with the
fact that great deal of lard is being
prepared for cotton and, owing to
weather conditions, the preparation is
of most excellent character that will
have decided effect on production.
TO my mind there is only one an
swer to the arguments of some of our
farmers as above set forth and that
argument should be driven home on
every occasion; namely, that a ten or
or twelve million bale crop will most
likely sell for 5 cents pound this
fall, and that six million bale crop
under these circumstances will bring
In more money than twelve million
bale crop.
We will have on July l, 1921, a
surplus of nine million bales of cot
