Well Prepared Seed Bed
Favored for Many Crops

The cheapest and easiest time to
cultivate corn or any other crop, is
before the seed Is planted. If the
seed bed is thoroughly well prepared
and all of the surface well pulverized,
the crop is in the best condition to
start growing. 1t will even pay, if
weather conditions permit, to delay
planting a few days for the sake of
letting the first weed seeds start to
grow, and then going over the field
an extra time with the harrow to up
root them. When the seed is put into
warm, mellow, well cleaned soil. it
has real chance to start growing and
to get ahead of noxious weed growth.

Get Barley Seeded Early

For good crop of barley it is quite
important to get it seeded early; in
fact, it is best to seed barley before
oats are seeded for best results. 1t
Is beneficial for oats and barley seed
to remain in cold ground a short time
before the soil and ground is found
to be warm enough for growth. When
sown very early, both oats and bar
ley seed should be well-matured, or
here is much danger of its rotting
'efore growth starts.

The advantages of owning the house
in which you live are many. In the
first place, a home can be built for
what is paid in rent. The home owner
is looked upon in his community as a
stable, substantial citizen. He has
business opportunities that the renter
does not have, while his family are
accepted socially in many circles that
are denied to those who live in rented
houses.

MACAW IS BIRD
 HIGHLY FREED
zuni Tribe of Indians Would
 Pay Any Price

Washington. D O.. Aug. 6 R,- Fulfilling a promise of a years Nanding. Dr. Neil Nj. Judd leader ,f the National Geographic society expeditions to Pueblo Bonito. New : Mexico. recently presented to mem- bers Of the Zuni tribe a gift for which they would gladly have paid in turquoise. It was live, brilliant Mexican macaw, bird full of mean ing to certain Of the Indians; yet only q few members of the tribe had ever before seetb one of these bright ly feathered parrots
 Each of the dozen or more clans tndividuals related through the maternal lipe) at Zuni has its own clan totem: the bear. badger, coyote. eagle, snake, corn and mustard" Dr. Judd writes in a report to the Ma tion Geographic society. 'Of all these clans none has a larger or more vigorous membership than the Macaw people. The Macaw clan has furnished & majority of the leading men at Zuni for several generations past. But these leaders knew the macaw, their clan totem, only

habits.
Zuni Nature Fakirs

Taking advantage of my limited Zuni vocabulary and still hoping 10 obtain the bird for himself one of the two boys, in my presence, told the Sun Priest that in their native habitat the macaws gather in flocks of from two hundred to three hun dred and, as the7 see man pass. ing through the forest, swoop down Ito attack him. The moola was credited with being especially fond of human flesh and extremely dangerous in captivity. Previously. the Sun Priest had learned from the second hopeful lad that the macaw was apt to die if he did not get the kind of food to which he had grown accustomed, But after an hours dis cussion the fears of the Priest were elininated and he consented 10 care for the naca- in behalf of his people. Word came to camp last week end that the Sun Priest and the macaw had established friendly relations and that both were quite content.
 No one knows how long the Moola people hav' been represented in Zuni. Tradition saya they came up out Of the fourth world with the other clans in that dim, distant past when all the races of mankind, the bird. animals and trees spoke a common language. Macaw clans are to be found in some of the other Pueblo villages of New Mexico and Arizona. But in no instance, so far as I am aware, can one learn defin- itely how long these clans have possessed the macaw as a totem or how they first became acquainted

 Recognize Pictures
 During past years at Pueblo Bonito several of my Zuni excav- ation crew have been members Of the Macaw clan. Pictures in our camp library verified descriptions of the moo'a, to give the Zuni name of the macaw. These men were highly pleased last fall when l told them l should try to obtain for them live bird. as a gift to the entire Macaw clan.
 But this spring when I arrived at Zuni l found that carefully laid plans pere intended to divert my purpose and bring something of an dfil lCWdlu U.

But l insisted the macaw was gift to the entire clan and not a personal remem- brance to single friend. It was my expressed opinion that the Sun Priest, as highest official of the clan, should receive the bird and act as its custodian. And right there l discovered some surprising inform ation about the macaw and its

with the bird.
 Ancient Bonitans Kept Captive Birds
 During the course of the Nation- lal Geographic society's explorations in Pueblo Bonito, VIZ have found
 over thirty skeletons of the great macaw. And Pueblo Bonito. from archaeological evidence, was aban- doned approximately 1000 years ago. It appears then that the in- habitants of this great prehistoric
 village must have obtained live
 macaws through barter with the tribes of central Mexico. The birds
 were kept here in captivity for we have found the perches on which they had bee tethered and we have found the corn, pinyon nuts and squash seeds on which they were fed. The Macaw clan doubtless
 wielded a considerable influence at Pueblo Bonito.

GOV. PARKS ASKS DEVELOP MENT
 ALASKAN PULP
MORE INHABITANTS IN TERRI TORY IS GREATEST NEED
 SAYS EXECUTIVE

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. ' (P)- Development of the pulp and paper industry in Alaska is said by Governor George A. Parks to be one of the ob. jects of his trip to Washington. The greatest need of Alaska, said MT Parks, is more inhabitants. He pro poses to attract inhabitants by the development of timber resources and will confer with forestry officials seeking for more liberal contracts in cutting pulp wood in the National forests. He called attention to the fact that a, successful pulp industry is developed in British Columbia, adja cent to Alaska, but Alaska has only one small pulp company operating on a most unsatisfactory contract sys- tenn.
 The Governor is also seeking de velopment of the paper industry, and declaring that it could be shipped by water on the Pacific Coast and east by way of the Panama canal.
 Governor Parks will remain ir Washington for several weeks.

NEW SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE
 DEVELOPED BY IRISH GIRL S

DUBLIN, Ireland, Jan. 7 (P)-A new spirit of enterprise and self-reliance is being developed by Irish girls who heretofore have been noted mostly for their charm and beauty.
 Years ago, middle class Irish girls devoted most of their time to home af- fairs and the question of marriage to some youth of their native place. To- day their outlook is broader, changed very largely by the upheaval in Irish life and politics of the past years.
 The political movement which led through the Irish rebellion to the es- tablishment of the Free State taught the thinking Irish girls that there was something more to do than to stay home and get married Many have made remarkable successes in drama and comedy on the stage, there by creating new race of actresses.
 With Dublin University open to women students came the opportunity to those of a studious nature, who have since won scholarships and prizes which qualified them for the ilearned professions. Many have mi grated to other countries to increase their knowledge.

Aviator Merrill Not Returning in Spring;
 Now at Palo Alto

Crash! Down comes another fond hope that new industry would begin operations in Seward next Spring. Wm. Patterson of the City Express received word in recent mail that R. H. Merrill, who flew plane out of Seward last summer for few months is not coming back. MT. Pat terson received word direct from MT. Merrill, who, until few weeks ago had really intended to return and put in regular plane service to the westward district. Merrill wrote that he has come across too many fine op. portunities in the States, which in comparison with the proposed local business is much more of an induce. ment
 Confidence is expressed locally that this field would prove remunerative for such service and other plans have been under way by the Chamber of Commerce to induce another aviator now in southeastern Alaska, to move to this locality.
 MT. Merrill stated in his letter that another reason he has given up the idea of inaugurating an airplane ser, vice here was because of the health of Mrs. Merrill, which was not of the best, and she was bit fearful in re turning so far north
