NAVAJO COUNTY CON-
 TRACTORS SUCCESSFUL

Messrs. Richards, Hurley and Frost were successful in bidding on an eight mile stretch of highway out of Prescott. The portion of the road which their con- tract covers is between May CT and Cordez, and the a.. mount of the bid was forty, two thousand, six hundred dollars. The Tanner Bros. were also awarded a co h. tract on the same project, this road making being near Jerome, at twenty thousand dollars. A few sizeable con- tracts of this kind in our own county would be accep- table, but we are glad these local men got what they did.

GROWING WHEAT
 SUCCESSFULLY IN
 THE ARTlC CIRCLE

The Alaska Experiment sta slons of the United States De- oartment of Agriculture have demonstrated that it is possible co raise locally large part of the wheat needed by those who nave settled in the Territory. A recent report from the agro- 1omist Tn charge of the fl v e Alaska stations states that in he summer of 1921 a crop of $500 bushels of spring wheat vas produced in the vicinity of he Fairbanks Station. Most of the wheat is being ground into -four In small mill recently in- stalled at Fairbanks. The quan- tity available will supply t h e l,500 people living at or near Fairbanks. The wheat is the product of a selection made from small sample of grain received from Siberia in 1914. The grain IS hard and the flour of excellent quality.
 About 1000 bushels of wheat were produced in the Matanuska Valley in 1921. One field of whei t at the Matanuska Station yielded 40 bushels per acre. At rhe Rampant station the varities 1f wheat developed from Siber- ian stock and most of the barley hybrids and oat selections ripen- ed, while their parent plants did not fully mature. Farmers in the Panama Valley produced B. 900 bushels of wheat. POGO bush- els of oats. and nearly 1000 bushels of barley. Oats a n d barley, in addition to wheat. are being grown in very consider able quantities every year in the Interior valleys. from seed de- veloped at the Rampant n d Fairbanks stations.
 The aim of Alaskan agricul- ture is chiefly to increase local food supplies. The main sources of income for Alaska are mining fishing, and timber. It has long been the belief of those in charge of Alaskau experiment station work that it is entirely
 possible to grow food in suffici- ent amount to supply those en- gagged in all industrial occupa- Itions in the Territory.

self riding on the back of gallop-
ing buffalo. He hung on. Up the
cliff he rode at pace that took his
breath away but he hung on. That
was the right thing to do and he did
it well.
Up in the Air
AS the summit of the bluff was
reached the bison which the photo
grapher was riding swung under a
tree and the man grabbed a limb and
swung off his mount. But he was
too tired and weak to swing himself
up. so he continued his hanging on
and remained suspended there among
the rushing bison. They banged his
legs and battered his shins, but the
limb of the tree held and he held
to it.
The herd was soon out of the way
under him and he dropped. His es-
cape. odd-timers say, was miraculous.
The herd was not shipped to Can
ada until the following year when
success marked the roundup efforts,
after many exciting incidents.
