WHY WILL HAYS WAS MADE
HEAD Of MOTION PICTURE
INDUSTRY Of THE COUNTRY
First Purpose IS to Save Wall
Streets Investments by
Ending Disputes.
TO FIGHT CENSORSHIP.
Political Organizer Also IS to
Use Movies in Fall for
G. O. P. Campaign.
Bu Martin Green

There are four principal reasons
why VIII II. Hays, former Chairman
of the National Republican Commit
tee, resigned from the office Of Post
master General to accept, at salay
of 500 900 year, the position oi "X-
ecutivc head of "a national association
of motion picture producers and eX'
hibitors which will be formed" to use
Mr.. Hays's language in his published
announcement of his plans. Here ar,
the reasons:
First-To save the investment
Of millions of dollars which Wall
Street financial interests have
made in the most important pro-
ducing concerns in the combina-
ton.
Sccond--To pull the motion pic
turc industry out of a hole into
which It has been plunged by
acknowledgement, jealousy. cut
throat trade methods, reckless
ness in expenditure, star exploit
alton and disregard of business
methods.
Third-To prevent the cstab-
lishmcnt by Congress of n Fed
eYal motion picture censorship.
Fourth-To use the motion pic
ture industry in propaganda to
further the election of a Repub-
lican Congress next November,
when the entire membership of

LOCAL LAND OFFICE RECEIVES
 REGULATIONS EXTENDING TIME
 TO DEVELOP ALASKA OIL LAND

to Section 13 of the Act of February 25, 1920 (41 Stat, 437).
 The text of the act is as follows: Be 1t enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Unit ed States of America in Congress- as sembled, That the Secretary of the Interior may, if he shall find. that any oil or gas permittee has been unable, with the exercise of diligence, to be- gin drilling operations or to drill wells of the depth and within the time pre- scribed by Section 13 of the Act of Congress approved February 25, 1920 (forty-first Statutes, Page 437), extend the time for beginning such drilling or completing it. to the amount speci- fled in the act for such time, not ex- ceeding three years, and upon such conditions as he shall prescribe"
 Accordingly, permittee who has been unable with the exercise of due diligence to comply with the terms of the permits issued under Section 13 of the Act of February 25, 1920, may. if the facts warrant, be granted an extension of time upon filing an ap- plication therefor accompanied by his own affidavit setting forth what ef- forts, If any, he has made to comply with the terms of his permit and the reasons for delay in the full compli- ance herewith, such showing to be accompanied by a corroborating af- ffdavtt of at least one disinterested person having actual knowledge of the facts.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-02-21

Instructions relative to the exten lion of time for development of oil lands in Alaska under lease from the government have beon received at the Juneau U. s. land office. Those in. structions were issued by the Depart. ment of Interior under the provisions of an act recently passed by Congress authorizing the extension of time to drill not to exceed three years. TEXT OF INSTRUCTIONS The instructions follow in full:
 '@The affidavit by the applicant must also show the time when he proposes to commence or resume his opera. tions and any arrangements he has made for complying with the terms of the permit.
 "The application may be filed in the general land office or in the local land office having jurisdiction over the land involved by the permit. In the latter event, the application will be promptly forwarded to the Juneau land office by the local officers"
 AFFECTS DRILLING ONLY
 AS is shown by the above quoted act and instructions, there is no men, tion made of extension of the time under which leases are obtained ex- cept as regards drilling. It is not be- lieved, therefore, that any latitude is had by the department to extend the time limit set for marking the claims or erecting monuments at the corners. Under the regulations as existing heretofore, one year Is allowed from the time of issuance of leasing per mits in which to mark and survey the claim and erect the monuments.
 Under the original instructions rela tive to claim developments, permit tees had two years in which to com mence drilling In order to hold a lease, it was necessary to have drilled at least 500 feet at the end of the third year, and 2,000 feet at the end of the fourth year from the date of the issuance of the permit These limits can now be extended under the act quoted above.
 By act of Congress approved Janu- ary II, 1922, Public No. 127, the Sec retary of the Interior was authorized to grant an extension of time under oil and gas permits granted pursuant

NEW POTATO VARIETIES
 FOR ALASKA CONDITIONS

A number of new varieties of pota- toes have been grown during 1921 from seedlings by the experiment station Of the United States Department of Agriculture located at Sitka, Alaska. Some of them give promise of helping the 500 homesteaders to raise more largely the food crops required by Alaska's population. They probably Twin be more specially adapted to , the peculiar climatic conditions than varieties now being grown. Speci- mems representing about 60 of these seedlings were selected from thous- and or more experimental plants and sent to the United States Department of Agriculture by the agronomist in charge of the five Alaska experiment stations. At all the Alaskan stations attention has been directed for some time to the development of local food crops The chief Alaskan indus tries have been, and for some time will continue to, be, mining and fish ing. The Department of Agriculture is striving to find varieties of pota- toes which can be profitably grown to supply a considerable part of the needs of he population.
 Until recently it was believed that food crops could not be grown so far north. Almost all supplies were im- ported from the coast states. The weather bureau reports an average an nual temperature at Sitka and along the southern seacoast about equal to that at Richmond, Va. The first kill ing frost at the Matanuska station last year occurred on October IS, which was later than in several ot our northern states. Planting ma. usually be started about May 15. IT consequence, after determining vart cites suited to the climate in different parts of the Territory, very satis- factory production of vegetables, grains, and small fruits may be ex- Dected.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-02-21
FEW VARIETIES ADOPTED TO
 LOCAL CONDITIONS

1 Attempts to grow potatoes from those brought up from the states were disappointing, because the potatoes , thus imported proved to be poorly adapted to Alaskan conditions. The Sitka experiment station soon after it's establishment began working on the selection of the best varieties for Alaska. Seed was collected from the 1919 crop, and the next spring about 1000 seedlings were started in flats from these seeds.
 The resulting crop was saved and the small tubers were planted in 1921. A limited distribution of some of the best of the new varieties will be given test in several parts of Alaska in l 1922 to ascertain their value for the | Territory when grown in comparison with varieties already established. Most of the new varieties are seedlings of Green Mountain, Lookout Mountain, Sraulding No. A. Keeper, and yellow fleshed potato, grown for several years at the station under the name of Norway No. 1.
 The seedlings quite generally fell into classes that resembled to some degree the parent variety though there were some striking departures from the usual type. Although the tubers sent to the Department of Agri- culture at Washington had been on the way for some time and were on exhibition in heated rom in the de- partment for week, they were firm, weighing as much as 1A pounds when solid, and of average size, some tested for cooking quality. None were small or watery. They were tested for baking, and other methods of cooking, in the exrarimental kitchen of the Department of Agriculture, and when cooked all varieties were re- ported to be dry and of excellent qual- ity.
 The potatoes were on exhibition for several days after their receipt and one of the potato breeders of the de- partment was allowed his choice for his work next season. The remainder were distributed for testing.
