Weather Bureau
Forecasts Help
Of Great Importance to
Fruits Spraying Service
of State College.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture,D
In addition TO the harvest weather
forecast service in New York state,
the weather bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture pro-
rides forecasts which are of great inn
)ortance TO the fruit-spraying service
maintained by the New York State
College of Agriculture. The purpose
If this service is to advise fruit grow
ers in all matters pertaining to the
spraying of fruit for the control of In
sect and other pests.
County Agent Is Head.
The county agricultural agent is at
he head Of this service in each coun
~. He bears the responsibility of
notifying the growers in his county,
oy telephone, mail or other means
whenever a spray application is advis-
ible. Most growers are prepared to
spray Immediately ON receipt of his
advice, and do so In accordance with
lis directions. New York fruit grow

In general three to five spray appii-

If the utmost Importance that each be
applied ut exactly the right time,
neither too early nor too late, to avoid
oss of labor and material and to catch
he pests under exactly right condi,
ions. In the case of apple scab, for
example, a widespread and injurious
fungus pest, the scab remains prac'
.ically dormant during fair weather,
Out becomes actively infectious dur

FOR control of this pest, therefore, is
two or three days of fair weather to
apply the spray, followed by a rainy
period.
Forecasts Essential.
Weather forecasts are essential In
connection with the control of this
pest by spraying, and for practically
all fruit pests. The county agent, II
preparing his advices to growers
takes account of the probable weather
condition for three or four days il
advance and the condition of buds ant
fruit as reported by the field agent
who travels about the county observ
ing the development of the fruit buds
and also of the various pests. lively,
counties have organized for this work
and all of them regard the weather
bureau forecasts as indispensable.

BUNK-ALAsKA's REAL MENACE

Is Alaska to become the Amer ican Ireland? asks Theodore NJ. Knappen, in an article appearing in Sunset Magazine. Reports have reached Washington he says indicat- ing that unless congress soon ad- opts remedial legislation, as the AL askans consider it, they will proceed to establish a commonwealth with the same sort of relation to the American republic that the Irish Free State has to the United King dom. The new political entity would ruthlessly take possession of all the public natural resources of the Ter ritory and would assume entire con- trol of local government, but would be willing to recognize itself as a part of the American group in the international system and refrain from establishing diplomatic rela- tions with other nations, leaving all it's foreign affairs to Washington.
 It was about a year ago the ar ticle continues, that the first talk of modified form of secession of Alaska was heard-but little atten- tion was paid to it. Now the seces- sion talk proceeds from more respon sible quarters. Disappointed that the development of Alaska has proceed ed so slowly and that hope has been so long deferred of repeating the spectacular growth of other sections of the United States, the Alaskan settlers are represented as being convinced that they will remake & coup of some sensational nature that will result in home rule.

develop additional passenger traffic for the railroad. Many tourists will enter the Skagway gateway, travel over the white Pass Railroad 70 Whitehorse thence by White Pass boats to Dawson and on to Nenana to take the Government railroad to Seward
 The Government line last year had a deficit of S1 100000. Accord ing to plans of Congress, the rail way will be allowed S75,00O for steamboats and barges and with these facilities, together with the usual development of new business, the road this year is expected 10 keep its deficit down to S1,000,000.
 The Government enterprise is not in state of completion. It is still engaged in bridge building and track ballasting. Yet it is approaching a paying basis faster than the most sanguine of the advocates of its construction anticipated.

ALASKA RAIL TRAFFIC.

Alaska transportation this year will be improved by the Government railroads operation of its own steamboats on Interior rivers in the Northland says a recent editor ial in the Seattle Times. Not only will traffic conditions be benefited but the railway will increase it's revenue and, as consequence, fur ther reduce it's deficit.
 With inauguration of steamboat service by the railroad on the Tan ana and Yukon Rivers, the White Pass and Yukon Route will discon- tinue steamboat operations on the lower Yukon River. Until the build ing of the Government railroad from Seward on the Coast to Fairbanks on the Panama River in the Inter for. the White Pass Company ran its boats between White horse, the interior terminus of its White Pass Railroad, and Dawson, and down the Yukon River to the mouth Of the Panama and up the Tanana to Fairbanks, as well as down the entire length of the Yukon to St. Michael. IL controlled upper Yukon traffic and was a prominent factor in lower Yukon business.
 When the Government railroad be- gan a train service between Seward and Fairbanks, it deflected the traf- fic of the Fairbanks region to it. self, and the White Pass Company

can not follow the example of Texas and revolt against a foreign govern ment to get into the United States, so it talks of revolting against the government at Washington in the hope of injecting itself into the United States. The Fascist have captured Italy on a bluff, and the Alaskans may get Alaska by talk ing secession. At least that is what those who are desirous of throwing Alaska wide open would have us believe is about to happen.
