Gently with project work and actual
work in orchards and in various
projects, including hot bed in which
they are raising tomatoes, cabbage,
caulihower, celery, brussels sprouts,
etc. These vegetables are now
growing in the hot bed, which is in

vegetables.
On Friday of last week the class
op-grafted a number of trees for
Mr.. Hedges of Garrison Flats, put

FINDS GOLD MINE IN
MEADOW AT VELVET

Last week Harry C. Buler discov-
cred a deposit of mineral in the
meadow of his ranch near Velvet.
The deposit was covered with about
a foot of soil on which hay has
grown for several years. AS the
snow went off, carrying some of the
soil, carbonate ore was seen, and
after samples were tested by panning
quite an amount of gold and silver
showed. John Leaden, Judge NJ. F.
Hull Dave Bennett and others have
seen it, and all are of the opinion
that it may be big rich lead. The
deposit is about three feet wide with
gravel and boulders under it.

Fertilizers on Peat Land
Perry Hovey's fertilizer demon
StIdIlOH plOl seven lHlleS HOIlilcdSl
of here on peat meadow, has arous-
ed considerable interest for the reason
that timothy hay grown on this
kind of land is a poor crop and a
combination of potash and super
phosphate increased the yield five
to six times that produced in infer
Of hn hn
general plan of the project was to
determine what fertilizers were
needed on that timothy meadow that
was yielding very little hay. The
land was divided in several plots and
different fertilizers tried on the diff
ferent plots, with check plot, un-
fortified, in each one. The fertili
2ers used were nitrogen In the form
of nitrate of sodium, phosphorus in
the form of super-phosphate, potas-
SUM in the form of a chloride and
lime. These fertilizers were put on
late in the spring. Where any one
of these fertilizers was used alone,
there was no appreciative increase
in the crop yield, but when the
phosphate and potash fertilizers were
combined at the rate of 100 pounds
of the potash per acre to $50 pounds
of the phosphate per acre, the
yield was easily increased five to
six times over that produced in un-
fertilized parts of the meadow.
This amount of fertilizer gave
practically as good results as far as
yield was concerned as where two
or three times as much fertilizer was
used and of course would be more
economical.
The agricultural department of the
school would be glad to consult with
farmers having trouble with poor
hay crops on soils of this kind.
Lime was also tried, alone and in
connection with each of the other
fertilizers, but did not seem to have
any effect upon the increase in yield.
The student who carried out this
project is attending the Washington
State college this year, and the head
of the soils department is anxious
to have him carry out the project on
larger scale this year
The Ag. club is making final ar
rangements for the banquet to be
given during the last two weeks
of school.

According to the official figures If January l. 1920. the population of AL aska is 54.S99. According to bulletin of the Census Bureau covering the populations of the Territory. the population in 1910 was 64.35G, hence the present population shows a de- crease amounting to 2, i57 or l4.7 per cent since 1910. Regarding density of population in the Territory, the bull '- tin says:
 The gross land and water area of Alaska is 590.S44 square miles. which
 is nearly equal to one fifth of the gross area of the United States. exclusive of outside possessions, and slightly ex- ceeds the combined area of .he three Pacific Coast states-Washn on.

Based upon gross area, the density of popula ton, or number of inhabitants per square mile of territory. in Alas- ka is less than one .enth of in 1920, as against slightly more than one tenth of 1 in 1910. The density in 1920 is equivalent to an average area of l0.S square miles. or 6.SSS acres. to each inhabitant.
