tThe following article is a letter
written to Gov. Scott c. Bone by
Bob Soderland, of Merden, Iowa,
and was inspired by speech the
Governor made in Washington de

Lapland and tells Of the latter's de.

Why has ALASKA been forgotteh

THE present order Of things in
Alaska Is chaotic and impossible. Blu
reaucratic control has plrllyzed and
palied this rich domain, which has
actually gone backward for II years
and today is at standstll."
And my mind flashed back 10 my
native country, where we also had a
province way up North. which. also,
was paid very little attention for
hundreds Of years. but today is the
richest and the most profitable do

Speaks From Experience
l have lived in Lapland myself for
seven years. AS an engineer for
the Government railroad up there ]
was ordered TO serve the railroad at
many different places. and for four
years I was placed at small station
$50 (Eng) miles above the Arctic
Circle. There We're only four fami-

there were of indescribaIble beauty,
indeed. II is not possible to produce
any kind of foodstuff in that region
but its riches of iron make it pos
sible for people to live and be happy
even in that ice-bound land.
And again my mind went back to
Alaska, as it has so many times be
fore, since i came to the United
States. six years ago, wondering why
this rich land shetiId lie so forgotten
so unused, WITH all its great re
sources resting in its northern beau

has many advantages. While Lap
land has only its iron. our Alaska
has SO many different kinds of min
erals that comparison IS hardly
| possible except in their riches o

aska has an advantage, not the small

The questions were put up to
Bradley Hull. chief OF the Cleveland
Domestic Relations Bureau.
Hull is notable because he has
handled 10000 divorce cases in 10
years. And now Cleveland is one
OF the few cities where the divorces
rate IS not increasing.
Divorce Cause
What is the chief cause OF d.
vorce?" he was asked.
Two things specifically" said
Hull. These are selhshness and
irresponsibility. But they are only
the result OF a more fundamental
reason.
Blame rests, basically. on the
restless. reckless. contemptuous
spirit that prevails.
"Sslhshness and irresponsibility

MINERALS FOR LIVESTOCK

When man attempts to keep farm
animals in confinement he must pro-
vide for them as nearly as possible
the substances which nature would
give them if they were free to gather
their own food. When animals are on
grass, it is not necessary to worry as
to whether they are receiving enough
minerals. But when fed largely on
corn or barley and straw or timothy
hay, one may look for trouble due to
lack of minerals in these feeds. The
trouble generally manifests itself in
the young, such as the production of
hairless pigs, goiter in calves or other
animals, or young with weak bones
and little vitality. These troubles can
be remedied by feeding grain and
roughage rich in minerals such as
bran, cottonseed meal, clover or alfat-
ia hay. However the deficiency can
also be supplied by the use of mineral
mixtures.
Professor F. B. Morrison of the
Wisconsin Experiment Station recon-
mends the following.
200 lbs. ground charcoal
100 lbs. bone meal Cor ground lime
stone)
100 lbs. sifted wood ashes
so lbs. salt
20 lbs. sulphur.
Professor Evvard of Iowa recon-
mends the following more complicated
mixture:
80 lbs. common salt

IL lbs. potassium chloride Cor wood

10 lbs. sulphur
10 lbs. air Stacked lime Tor ground

81 lbs. Chambers salts
5 lbs. EPSON salts
2 lbs. Copperas (iron sulphate)
O.3 lbs. potassium iodide.
Either of these mixtures can be
kept before farm animals at all times
or fed to them in their grain mixtures
at the rate of two pounds in 100
pounds of feed.
Feed Iodine
In case one is having goiter or hair
lessness in new born animals and can
not feed one of the above mixtures

stun iodide to each sow or cow for
sixty day period before the young are
avpected will nrove to be greatly
beneficial. Professor Morrison says,
"This can be done conveniently by
sprinkling on the feed one tablespoon
full of a solution of one ounce of po-
tassium iodide to gallon of water"

WIS. CROP REPORT, 1921

Following are some interesting
items from the monthly report of Jos.
A. Becker, Agricultural Statician,
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture.
Wisconsin crops in 1921 were valued
at $1S7,748,000. This represents
total of $140,533,00O less than 1920,
and 1910, 10000 less than 1919.
The total area in cultivated crops
in this state increased $4,000 acres
compared to 1920. In 1921 only one
major crop--ccrn--exceedcd the 1920
outturn. The average yield of corn
in 1921 was 1852 blu. per acre, COM
pared to 1872 bu. in 1920.
Although the area of oats was the
largest ever harvested the production
was the smallest since 1907. The area
sown to barley was the smallest since
the opening of the twentieth century.
Production of rye is the smallest since
1910. IA considerable acreage of rye
was not harvested.
In spite of the fact that production
was very small, clover and timothy
hay remained the most valuable of
Wisconsin farm crops. Alfalfa acre
age continues to increase by leaps
and bounds.
With the exception of 1916 the po-
tato crop was the smallest since 1906.
Following a disasterous over-nro-
duction in 1920, large reduction in
the cabbage acreage took place In
1921.
The report gives the following sta
tistics for Pierce and st. Croix coun-
ties:
) Area of crops harvested in 1921;
Pierce county-oats, 54,205; barley,
21,631; winter wheat, 456; spring
wheat, 1862; potatoes, 1,797; cabbage
317; tobacco, 124; field peas, 80; field
beans, 81; canning peas, %; wild hay,
1893; flax, GA; soy beans grown alone,
Is. Number of silos in Pierce county,
$40; number of tractors in use, 259.
ST. Croix county-Oats, $4,000; bar
ley, 21,365; winter wheat, 313; spring
wheat, 3,0S5; potatoes, 2,619; cab
bage, 40; tobacco, 10; field peas,

48; wild hay, 1,571; flax, 554; soy
beans grown alone, 10. Number of
silos, 1,574; tractors, 211.

than they did last year.
