In telephone interview with him
today, he said that as far as he
could ascertain the difficulty
could be overcome by some repairs
about the home, which would OBJ

He said that he did not know that
the home had been officially con

U. S. Urges That
One Variety OF
Cotton Planted

An adequate supply of pure plant
ing seed of standard cotton varle-
ties is the fundamental requirement
of the American cotton industry, to
replace the mixed "gin rum stocks
now generally grown, says the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul.
ture. A general investigation OF
the breeding and utilization of su-
perior varieties of cotton has shown
that pure seed can be produced only
in communities that limit themselves
to one variety. Under this system
the mixing of seed and the conse-
quent running out of varieties are
avoided, production is based on
pure seed, superior varieties are
utilized, better cultural methods are
adopted, greater efficiency in pro-
duction is secured, and commercial
advantages are obtained from the
marketing of a uniform product.
The one-variety community meth
cd of cotton production, including
the selection of variety. the main

| ganization of new centers of pure
seed supply, is outlined in 4 nev

After more than day of exhaustive

Still Plenty of
Eagles In
Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. l.
Tourists who came to Alaska during
the past summer expressing fears,
among other things, for the ex-
tinetion of the eagle, were amazed
at the number of the "king birds y
to be seen throughout the rugged
country, and nature students have
reported seeing many more than
the casual observer.
While exploring the uplands Of
Central Alaska, one student saw
II eagles seeking prey along q
valley for a distance of IL miles.
While the eagles were being OBJ
served through field glass, five
of them were seen to strike and
secure ptarmigan, the food sup
ply of the prospector and explorer
in the high regions where big game
is. scarce.
Alaska is gradually drawing
tighter line about her game sup
ply and bag limits have been set
for all tfeatnered game save where
required for food in remote regions.
Inadequscy of game wardens is
handicap in protecting beast and
| fowl, and one of the chief legisla
| tive problems of the territory is
| the best method to preserve the
game and yet keep the territory
fairly open to the huntsman and

Friends of John w. Davis are
openly bitter at what they believe
was the failure of some of the

tribute any aid whatever in the
campaign. They are certain that
the count of the ballot proves that
not everything possible was done
in his aid and that III some vital
sectors he was even double cross

friends.
Some of those who stood by Davis
throughout his difficult campaign
have informed him, the United

do is to "even the scales with his
enemies before he loses hold upon
the leadership. They want him
