YORK FACING
LOSS OF HOME

Mortgage on Farm Due This
Fall, and Crops Have Gone

Lord.

A report from Pail Mall. Tenn.
the home of Sergt. Alvin G. York,
is to the effect that the Tennessee
war hero is in danger Of losing his
farm, and thereby having the dreams
OF his life thrown to the winds. A
representative of the Newspaper En-
terprise Association recently visited
Sergt. York at his home, and this
is the story that resulted, which was
printed widely in the daily newspa-
pers of the country Monday of this
week, under a Pail Mall date line:
If you were living on one OF the
finest farms in Tennessee
If you had wife and a 3-months
old baby
If you faced losing your farm
through foreclosure of a $12,5
mortgage
And you we're the greatest hero
of the world war
And you could possibly make
enough to pay off the mortgage
merely by showing yourself in pub
hc-
WOULD YOU?
That is the question Sergt. Alvin
c. York has to face. His answer is
Mo- He will not commercialize
his patriotism.
II would rather lose my farm and
go back to work as common day
laborer than to commercialize the
fame which was only incident all to
an act of Providence he says.

TALKS
TO FARMERS.
Conservation of Moisture.

Farmers have been given much
concern by the long continued dry
weather, on account of the effect on
growing crops. Gardens have been
seriously damaged, and corn has
been injured to some extent.
We could minimize the damage
from drouth if we would begin in
time. Our average rainfall in Ten
nessee is in excess of 50 inches an
nually-more than is necessary for
any kind OF crop if we would but
conserve a reasonable amount of it.
We can conserve more of it than we
doing.
If you will fill three glass tum-
blers-one with sand, one with clay
and one with rich vegetable mould
then add water to each as long as it
will hold, you will find that the
clay will absorb twice the quantity
of water that that the sand will alb
sorb, and the vegetable mould will
absorb four times as much. This
shows us that the more vegetable
matter we get in our soil, the great
er their capicity for absorbing water
If we want to conserve the rain.
fall, we must prepare reservoir OF
our soils to retain it. We can do
this by subsoiling our land when it
needs it during the fall months,
when the subsoil is not wet, turn
ing under vegetable matter. This
will prevent land from washing
Keep winter cover crop when
possible, and turn under in the
spring. Let the pulverizing harrow
keep up with the turning pillow.
Never break up land rough in the
spring and allow the clods to dry
out before pulverizing. Get a dust
mulch on the surface and keep it
there during the cultivating season.
Start the cultivators as soon as the
soil is dry enough after each rain.
Cultivate shallow but often. The
dust mulch will prevent evapora-
ton. Never stop the cultivators
during dry weather.
| have been over much OF the
State during the present cultivating
season, and have seen clods in the
fields where crops were 'layed by
conclusive proof that a good seed
bed was not prepared before the
seed was planted
We should also remember that
the finer we get our soil pulverized,
the more available we make the
plant food in the soil, and at the
same time making it easier to con-
serve the moisture so necessary to
the growth and maturity OF crops.
With the coming of the first warm
days in the early spring, we get I'M
patient to start planting. Instead of
rushing our seed into half prepared
soil, we should continue to pulver-
ize the soil. Kill the weeds and
grass that germinate with the first
warm days. We almost invariably
have cold snap that retards the
crop. We should get our soils in
good condition. Let the soil get
warm before planting.
These suggestions are based on

farmer will admit that they are
good suggestions, even if he has not
been doing his work along that line.

EYE|NC STATION
 BEING ERECTED
 BY COMMISSION
Supt. Sprague Putting in Plant at Cordova for AL
 aska Fish Commission.

Construction of an eyeing station at Cordova has been launched by the Territorial Fish Commission, accord ing to a statement made today by Charles D. Garfield, Secretary of the Commission. The work is being directed by Hatchery Supt. A. J Sprague, who went to Cordova on the last trip of the Northwestern.
 The Commission is represented at Cordova by one of it's members IA J. Adams, who has rented the Harmon building, where the plant will be installed. MT. Adams went to Seattle on the last trip of the Northwestern to purchase equipment and part of the supplies for the plant
 The Cordova station, said MT. Gar field, will cost between $5,000 and $6000 when it is completed. Mir Sprague will remain at Cordova until the plant is placed in operation and a competent man has been secured to take it over. If it is possible said MT. Garfield, an Alaskan will be engaged. The Commissian, he added, has been informed of a man now in the Territory, who is said to be competent fish culturist who thoroughly understands propagation work and efforts are being made to get in touch with him.
 The commissions work ih the Third division is progressing satis- factorily. It has a crew of men on Eyak Lake destroying Dolly Warden trout, where it is estimated fully 10000 of these fish have already been destroyed. Stream clearing and destruction of predatory fish in the Bristol region is being carried on in cooperation with the cannerymen of that district who have appropriat ed $30.000 for the work
 A systematic campaign will also be started against the seal on the Copper River flats. It is estimated that each seal destroys not less than four salmon a day and, as the seal number into the thousands on the flats, the destruction of the salmon there is said to be enormous. d.
