to crawl out, get in their steamer

sos much and so violently, that the
steamer chairs are strapped to the
floors, and troughs have to be put
on the table to hold the dishes. All
port holes are closed all the time to
keep the water out; it simply sweeps
over the bow of the boat at times. II

II is often desirable TO keep the pull

may be that the flock owner VIII want

United States Department OF Agricul-

Some poultry raisers think that the

eggs. They say that the germ cell In
the egg from the older bird is stronger.

VERY NARROW ESCAPE FOR two
When Automobile in Which They

Dillon, S. c., Jan. 25.-B. T. Byers
and Thad w, Hamer, two young bust
ness men, had a narrow escape from
drowning Saturday night at the Pee
Dee ferry whom thesr automobile, in
which they were. returning to Dillon
from Florence, ran backward Into
Big 'Pee-Dee river. When the car was
being driven out Of the fiat it seems
that it struck the ferryman, causing
him to loose the chain which held the
fiat to the bank. When about half
way up the steep embankment the
driver tried to change gears. AS he
did SO he lost control of the car,
which went backward against the
fiat. AS the fiat was not fastened the
impact showed it toward midstream
and the car plunged into the water,
the depth Of which at this point is
about twenty fee:. 1t was with diff
Guilty that the two young men clear
ed the car, as they were sitting on
the front seat with the driver. Had
they not been good swimmers they
would have been drowned. At Pee

car, which brought them to Dillon.
The negro chauffeur was drowned.
His body was not recovered until late
yesterday afternoon. The car was
pulled out Of the river yesterday.

SETTLERS May SUPPLY SELVES.
Wheat Cam be Successfully Grown
Near tho Arctic Circle. a,i

The Alaska Experiment Stations
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture have demonstrated that
II Is possible to raise locally a large
part Of the wheat needed by those
who have settled in the territory. A
recent report from the agronomist
in charge Of the five Alaska stations
states that in the summer OF 1927
wheat was produced in tho vicinity
OF the Fairbanks station Most OF
this wheat is being ground into -four
in small mill recently installed at
Fairbanks. The quantity available
will supply the 1900 people living
at or near Fairbanks. This wheat is
the product of a selection made from
q small sample Of grain received from
Siberia in 1914. The grain is har4
and the -four Of excellent quality.
About 1000 bushels Of wheat were
produced In the Matanuska Valley in
1921. One. field Of wheat at the Mat
anuska station yielded 40 bushels
per acre. At the Rampant station
tho varieties Of whoat developed from
Siberian stock and most Of the bar
ley hybrids and oat selections ripen-
ed, while their parent plants did not
fully mature. Farmors in the Tanana
Valley produced 5000 bushels Of
wheot, 1000 bushels of oats. and
nearly 1000 bushels Of barley. Oats
and barley, in addition to wheat, arc
being grown In very considerable
quantities every year in the interior
valleys, from seed developed at the
Rampant and Fairbanks stations.
The aim of Alaskan agriculture is
chiefly to increase local food supplies
The main sources OF income for Alas
ka are mining, fishing and timber
II has long been the belief Of those
in charge Of Alaskan experiment sta
tion work that 1t Is entirely possible
to grow food III sufficient amount to
supply those engaged in all industrial
occupations in the territory.
