 ATTITUDE ON ALASKA
CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE ON TER- RiToRIES EXPLAINS HIS IDEA OF TROUBLE WITH ALASKA SAYS TOO MUCH RED TAPE

WASHINGTON, March 1S.--Charles F. Curry, chairman of the house com mittee on territories and author of a bill for the centralization of the gov ernment of Alaska, today expressed his views regarding Alaska. Represen- tatfve Curry stated: T am unalterably opposed to Alaska being pioneered by Wall Street. The trouble with Alaska is too much red tape emanating from 32 governmental departmental bureaus each holding some authority over Alas ka and each so jealous Of the other they cannot pull together"
 Curry is in favor of the passage of a bill which will centralize the govern ment of Alaska in one bureau and when this is done he believes other evils from which Alaska suffers can be adjusted quickly.

COMMERCIAL WAR WITH
 EUROPEAN NATIONS

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-"Europe is now in a life and death struggle to regain the world markets she lost and we gained during the world war. We are striving to keep these markets to consume the large surplus production our extra war equipment enables us to produce. Europe wants these mar kets back. We are up against com mercial war;
 An expert of the department of con- merce thus summed up the situation which has been startlingly brought to light by figures just made public by the commerce department showing a 50 per cent decrease in our import business and 40 per cent decrease in our export business for 1921 as com- pared to 1920.
 The greatest overproduction we have is cotton, grain and meat If the fac tories now closed in the great eastern manufacturing centers were to operate full time there would be serious over pproduction of their lines. As usual the farmer and the industrial worker are the ones smost keenly to feel the effects of the commercial war.

JUNEAU IS FORGED ID
 GIVE UP CONVENTION

Seattle traffic experts are unable to figure out a scheme to take 10000 Elks to Alaska for the 1923 convention on account of lack of. available steamers. A Juneau committee comprising Chas. Goldstein, John W. Troy and Joe Me herin waited on Seattle transportation interests during the week soliciting cooperation in an effort to get the 1923 convention.
 Seattle transportation experts de- clared that there was not sufficient ocean tonnage available to carry the delegates and excursionists to Alaska without withdrawing Southern Califor- mia tourist steamers during the peak of the summer season which move could not be done without tremendous loss.
 The Juneau committee believed if vessels could be secured that accom- modations for the convention could be provided at Juneau but those attending would have to eat and sleep aboard the excursion steamers. The commit tee also believed Juneau could secure the 1923 grand convention if they could guarantee steamship acconlmo- dations at reasonable rates.

FAMOUS W|NDJAMMER
 : IS BEING BROKEN UP

TACOMA: An old clipper ship, the Glory of the Seas, which 35 years ago set a record for "windjammers" be- tween San Francisco and Australia is being broken up here following the discovery that teredos have eaten into her hull beyond repair.
 The stout old ship was built at the famous Donald Mckay yards in Bos- ton, Mass, in 1869, and since then has sailed on all the seven seas and called at all the important ports around the globe.
 Some years ago the Glory of the Seas was purchased by Tacoma fish company and was put in service be- tween Puget Sound and Alaska. Each spring she would spread her canvas and sail away to the North carrying supplies and employees for the Alaska canneries operated by the company, and in the fall, would return with the seasons catch.
 The old boat was built of oak and other tough woods and some of these are still in good condition. She is be- ing broken up for what metal she holds.

ROADS
GOOD ROAD SAVES MILLIONS
Men With Tools Enabled to Reach
Threatened Break in LeVee and
Stop Rising Waters.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A federal-aid road has just been COM
pleted in Arkansas which has already
saved millions of dollars to the COM
munity in which it is built. Recently
during high water in the Mississippi
word came to Helena, Ark, that the
levee at Old Town, II miles away,
was about to break. The situation
was critical. A few hours delay and
thousands of acres of rich farming
land would be flooded, and possibly
many lives lost. Helena was the only
source of aid, and many men with
tools and material were needed. Every
available motor vehicle was pressed
into service and over GOO men, prop
erly equipped for the work, were in a
short time speeding over the new road
to save the levee. They arrived in
the nick Of time and by almost super
human efforts damned back the ris-
ing waters. Residents say that had 1t
been necessary to make the trip over
the old road the levee could not have
been reached in time and that the
workers would have needed boats
rather than motor vehicles.

POISON SPRAY NOT HARMFUL
Heavy Coatings of Residue on Fruits
and Vegetables Removed by
Good Washing.

Poison sprays on fruits and vege
tables will not be found by consumers
in harmful quantities if growers who
use them against pests and diseases
follow the spraying schedule recon-
mended by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture. In some in.
stances, because Of heavy spraying or
spraying late in the season, inveSti'
gators for the department have found
comparatively large quantities of
spray residue on fruits and vegetables
at harvest time, especially on prod
uCts grown in dry climates. When
heavy coatings Of residue were found
washing and wiping removed much Of
it, and peeling all of it.
Experiments along this line were
undertaken by the department be-
cause of the possibility that spraying
Of fruits and vegetables might leave
enough arsenic, lead, or copper on the
surface to be injurious to the CON
sumner. The results, obtained by an
alyzing sprayed fruits and vegetables
from various parts of the country and
presented mostly in the form of la
bles, are given In Department Bulle

In the study of root, stalk, and ear

very noticeable difference between

quenCy Of infection and in the vigOr
of plants produced. These differences
are discussed in Department Bulletin
1902, Relation of the Character Of the
EndOSperm to the Susceptibility Of
Dent Corn to Root Rotting, by John
f. frost, assistant pathOlogist. The
investigations We're carried on jointly
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture and Purdue university
agricultural experiment station.
Ears Of the dent varieties that have
StarChy kernels have been found to
be infected with root-rot organisms
more frequently than ears in the same
seed lots that have horny kernels.
This provides a means of selection
that may help to do away with the
necessity of testing every ear to deter
mine whether from the standpoint of
rOot-rot infection it is desirable to
plant. Starchy kernels are easily dis
tinguiShed from those with horny
endosp6rms. The horny kernel is
more or less translucent; that is,
it lets the light pass through in the
same way that oiled paper does.
Starchy kernels are opaque-like

Starchy ears Of dent varieties pro-
duce larger numbers Of weaker grow
ing plants, more susceptible to root
rots in the field, than do ears of more

There is an impression among corn
growers that the depth of the dents
is an indication Of the starchiness Of
the kernels, but this has not been
shown to be true. Chaffy kernels are
usually very StarChy, but starChiness
