PALMETTO NEWSPAPERS
RENDER FINE SERVICE

Clemson College, July 13.-"With-
out the valuable aid Of South Caro-
lma's widca%ake newspapers in
spreading the gospel of better farm
ing and better rural life, the Extcn-
sion Service of Clemson College and
the u. S. Department of Agriculture
would be deprived Of one Of its long
est and strongest arms, says Director
w. w. Long, in speaking of the rapid
progress which is being made in these
matters.
"Thc Extension Service has well

practically every county in the state;
and these workers reach annually

so many papers, daily and weekly

division of publications the county
agents are being led more and more
to be of service to their local papers
in this matter, and it is hoped that the
editors will call upon the agents and
use them in every possible way for

come sufficiently favorable to attract
capital. f or years the Forest Service
tried in vain to interest capital in the
development of enterprises for paper
production in Alaska. Had it succeed
ed these enterprises would now be in
Il very advantageous position"
Practically all the timber in south
eastern Alaska is under the control of
the Government and is within the
boundaries Of the national forest, the
exceptions being reservations and
town sites. The area Of land in pri-
vatc ownership is small.
The purpose of the Forest Service,
it is said, looks beyond merely finding
a market for Government timber in
order that the timber may be cut and
a new growth started in its place. The
forests are administered as public
properties created to serve public
needs. Alaska's first need is said to
be capital. 1t has not yet reached a
point at which the upbuildng of the
territory can be effected merely by an
influx of pioneers Of the type that con-
qucred the wilderness in the Western
States. While development must be
a gradual process governed by econ
omic facts, largc-scalc operations are
essential, it is said.

PLANT RUTABAGAS

Clemson College, July 11.-Ruta-
bagas should be planted between the
fifteenth of July and the fifteenth of
August. In the eastern part of the
state the fifteenth of August is not
too late, but in the central and west
ern part it is better to plant the
middle of July suggest the horticul-
tursts.
First, thoroughly prepare the land
by plowlng and narrowing until
perfect seed bed has been formed.
Apply the fertilizer broadcast at the
rate of 800 to 1000 pounds per acre.
A fertilizer analyzing percent phos-
phoric acid, d percent nitrogen, and
percent potash will give good results
on sandy or sandy loan soil. In
clayey loan soil it will not be neccs-
| sary to have more than to | 1-2
percent potash. The fertilizer should
be applied after the ground has been
plowed and before narrowing.
The main trouble in growing ruta-
bagas IS in securing good stand
during the hot summer months. EX-
perience has shown that when the
inches deep and covered by simply
running a wheel of an old wheel
barrow or planter over the row this
will mash them into the soil and
cover them very slightly. When the
seed germinate the roots will be near
the moist soil and will therefore
stand drought we'll. If they are
planted on the surface they will be
slow about terminating and fire.
quently when they do germinate the
young plants will die on account of
drought 1t will require about a
pound of seed to plant an acre in
rows about three feet apart.
After the plants have come up to
a good stand and have formed the
fourth leaf, they shoul be thnncd
cut to 10 to II inches apart in the
row and cultivated clean, gradually
working the soil towards the plants.
The turnips will be ready for use
about the first Of November, but
there is no necessity for harvesting.
them until the weather has turned
cold, say the first Of December. The
turnips are pulled up and the tops
cut off below the bud and the roots
banked by covering with soil Ten
to fifteen bushels Of turnips may be
put in one bank and piled up in cone
shape. They should be covered by at
least six inches Of soil. Turnips put
up in this way will keep in perfect
condition until the weather begins
to turn warm in the spring.

so that in years to come our children
may know nothing Of the horrors of
prevcntable diseases.
We therefore ask you to furnish
us with CLEAN wholesome food, and
supply us with water that is free
from pollution.
Teach us the value Of fresh air,
sunshine and sanitation, and instruct
us in the ways Of healthy rightful
living.
Correct any physical dcformity that

not to go through life handicapped
with bad vision, defective hearing,
adenolds or any other preventablc
condition.
Sanitatc our homes and our school
houses, and institute school medical
inspection so that we may not be
forced to mingle with the consumptive,
the syphil;tic and the carrier of trans
| missablc diseases.
Instruct our people in the simple
laws of sanitation so that they will
| not any longer cough and snecze in
our faces or kiss US upon the lips

If you do this for us, we will grow
up to be an honor and blessing to

feeble we will in turn harbor and pro-

Protect us, therefore, from the rava-

We therefore appeal to you for pro-
lection fro mthc ravagcS Of prevent

We are daily mcnaccd by foes more

For you allow your government to

pcrts in every detail in combating
these focs--mcrely because your stock
on your crops are affected.
We feel that we are just as impor-
tant-at least-as your cow or your

and we ask you to take up the sword
to protect us from the diseases that
daily menace us; and when we grow
up to become useful citizens we will
in turn take up the gfht against them

LARGE PULP-WOOD
RESOURCES IN ALASKA
Under Careful Management These
Forests Could Supply 1000, 900
Cords of Pulpwood Annually for
All Time-An Abundance of Wat
er Power Near At Hand.

The time seems to be ripe for the
extensive exploitation of Alaskan
pulp wood, in the opinion Of the For
est Service, United States Department
of Agriculture. In Department Bulle-
tin $50, entitled Regional Develop
ment Of Pulp Wood Resources of the
Tongass National Forest" the sue
cessful operation of pulp and paper
mills in nearby British Columbia,
which has practically similar timber
and power resources and comparable
as removing the speculative clement
from the proposed development.
An Enormous Demand For Paper
The demand for paper, it is said
has increased to such an extent that
it has become possible for well-organ-
lied and adequately financed compan-
les to operate pulp and paper mills on
an extensive scale, particularly for
making newsprint. All indications
point TO continuance of the demand
at prices that should make possible
profitable operations in Alaska. New
sources are imperatively required, it
is said, for the supply Of raw pulp
wood.
The Department Of Agriculture be-
lieves that the development of the
forest and water-power resources of
Alaska is a practicable means of in
creasing the supplies of ncwsprint
available for the United States and
of eventually lcssening the paper
shortage now so acute. The national
forests of Alaska probably contain, it
is estimated, 100, 100000 cords of tim
Der suitable for the manufacture of
newsprint and other grades of paper
Under careful management these for
ests can produce 100000 cords of
pulp wood annually for all time, or
enough to manufacture one third of
the pulp products now consumed in
the United States.
Alaskan forests also contain the
second chief essential of the paper
manufacturing industry-water pow
er. While no accurate survey Of wa
ter power has been made, known pro-
Jccts have a possible development of
over 100000 horsepower, and the For
est Service estimates that complete
exploration of the national forests in
southern Alaska will disclose their
potential horsepower to be not less
than quarter of million.
Vast Supplies of Raw Material
"Scarcely any other part Of the
country" says the departments bullc-
tin, "offers a field for the upbuilding
of permanent pulp and paper indus
try equal to that afforded by Alaska
1t is a virgin field because, in spite
of it's natural advantages and vast
supplies Of raw material, economic
conditions had not, prior to 1919, be-
