weeds Must Be Killed
To Save the Pastures
Great Damage Has Been Done Them
By Dry Weather.

One of the greatest damages to pas
lures is done by weeds, and because OF
the prolonged drouth in practically all
parts OF the state many pastures have
not produced much grazing on &C
count of the prevalence of weeds, says
A. f. Gibson, county agent.
weeds and the grasses are contin-
ually in competition for plant food
and moisture, and in many pastures
this year where there was not enough
for both the grass suffered" says Mr.
Gibson. GAS consequence these pas
lures have not offered much grazing
this year
ITO have good pasture the weeds
must be prevented from getting the
upper hand of the grass The best way
to destroy weeds is through the use
of a moving machine All weedy pas
lures should be gone over with a
mower this summer if the condition
of the land will permit.
while moving a pasture Will not
permanently destroy the weeds it will
thin them out and give the grass a
chance to grow. After the weeds are
cut off with the mower the sprouts
and bushes should be removed with a
grubbing hoe.
Good pastures produce as much or
more feed than many other parts OF
the farm and deserve to have some
attention. They are not different from
other crops of the farm which require
care in order to produce good yleld.

Hatchery Men Transferred;
 H.F Starr to Relieve Drager

Travel orders were received this week by Supt. Drager for himself and Hatchery Assistant J. c. Bush. Mr. Bush will leave for Ketchikan imme- .diately following Mr. Starr's arrival in Seward, while MT. Drager will wait over week to acquaint MT. Starr with the station and the proposed plans for next seasons operations
 MT. Starr, who comes here from the Ketchikan hatchery, has been with the commission for several years; pre- vious to his assignment to the Ketch- ikan station he was hatchery foreman at the Juneau station, which has since been abandoned Mrs. Starr and children will either arrive on the same boat or one soon after. The old CT of the two boys will take over the duties of hatchery assistant tempo rarily.
 Mr. Drager informed the Gateway that he had received no definite in Sturctions as to what his new assign ment would be but thought that it would probably be in charge of the new field station at Dukes island, where there is being constructed a large saltwater feeding pond for the feeding of young salmon fry This work (the feeding of young sai- mon fry in salt water feeding ponds) is one of the most far-reaching steps in the propagation of salmon that has been taken in years, and is the direct result of the experiments carried on last year by the Alaska Territorial Fish Commission under the direct su- pervision of Supt. of Hatcheries, Ed win Wentworth. These experiments proved the plan feasible, and the re- suits obtained in rapid growth were remarkable. Salmon fry placed in the salt water feeding pond June had attained the length of eight inches by August 21, less than three months later. This work has attracted con- siderable attention from the people interested in fish propagation and conservation. The Pacific Fisherman in one. of their issues devoted consid- erable Aspace to the work and gave the Territory due credit.
 Sewalu loses two good citizens in MT. Draser and MT. Bush. Both have made wide circle of friends while here, and it is with deep regret we chronicleE the change.

 She plans to go to Washington and lay the case of John s. Barker before Attorney General Stone. Miss Hansen claims Barker has done more to cure drug addicts than any man in the country and that for the good of all unfortunates who use drugs should be at liberty to con- tinue his work.
 Barker, according to Miss Hansen, was responsible for more drug cures among Hollywood movie stars than any other person. ''Wally" Reid was under his care and was cured, but later returned to the use of drugs and eventually died from it.
 Barker was sentenced to serve five years last May for the sale of two grains of morphine to a movie ac- tress in Hollywood when he was at tempting to cure.
