Grady's Dream

A generation ago it was difficult Tor
The South to grow enough corn, nay,
aud meat but conditions are now en-
tirely different. Corn was formerly
grown by us much like we grow cot
ton-in small areas, cultivated largely
bv hand. and with one-horse plows
thereby costing entirely too much a
bushel. whereas we have now learneh
TO make It cheaply. Moreover gem
Grafton ago we had few important nay
crops. whereas the comparatively re-
cent introduction Of soybeans. velvet
beans. and Sudan grass together with
the new discoveries of legume inocuil-
tion for clover. vetch. and alfalia
have mnde it possible for the South 10
grow its own hay far cheaper thah
Western hay can be bought. And not
onlv have new crops, new discoveries
and new methods enabled us to grow
onr own corn and the feed for our
own work stock, hut the use of these
new crops and new methods also makes
il possible for the South TO grow It's
own meat.
The time has at last come when our
section Ms n whole can realize the tul-
fllment Of Henry W. Grady's eloquent
prophecy and dream which we have
nnblished on more than one occasion
Int find II worth while 10 kes. con

Milk Test Service

We invite all persons within Ran
dolph county TO make use Of our milk
test service to determine the milk
grade Of the cows You are now milk
ing We realize that the time has
now come when il is useless to keep
a poor producing cow among a herd.
Figures show that poor producer is
a liability rather than an asset on the
farm, and it is a rather difficult task
to tell which cows are paying for thcir
keep unless we have n record of Just
what they are doing for us.
Being Interested in cream produc-
tion, we are always glad to assist you
IN grading your herd. and improving
your milk stock Recently there has
been installed drive to organize good
bull clubs over Randolph county to
build up herds It is an important
factor in building up your production,
but IL is just as important to know
which cows are your money makers.
and the only way 10 know just what
your mixers are doing is TO have a
grade test made of them. We have
equipped our station to make milk
tests and viii be glad to do any ser
vice we eau for YOU along those lines.
Call at our Station at Pocahontas on
Saturdays, or Rayenden Springs Tues
days and saturdays and let the opera
tor in charge talk the matter over
with you, or write me, enclosing a self
addressed stamped envelope for full
information as 10 how to proceed in

A prospect which gives prom ise of becoming a producing mine is located on Baker ls- land, about Is miles from Craig, says the Wrangell Senti- nel. The ore discovery was made some time ago by Capt ain Edwin Hofstad. Recently J. G. Calvin and George Gun derson have become associat- ed with Hofsatd, and steps are being taken towards mak- ing the prospect a produce. The ore carries gold, silver, lead and zinc. Samples assay ed ran better than S150 per ton. A mill test shipment or the ore was sent to Trail, B. c with a view to finding out just what the Trail smelter would pay for such ore. A previous report from the shelter indi- 'cated that it would be glad to take this kind of ore on at, count of the high lead content. The property is only 2,000 feet from the beach. Every indicaJ- ion points that there is a large ore body, and the owners ex> pect in the near future to de- termine the extent and con- tinuity of the vein.

i2 ORGANIZATION OF FEDERAL CONTROL IN
 ALASKA PLANNED

A plan for reorganization of the Federal Government in Alaska is being considered on the initiative of the Depart mcnt of the Interior with a view of giving the official, of the Territory greater authority in local affairs, according to Washington press reports.
 The plan has been referred to Secretary of Commerce Hoov- CT and Secretary of Agricul- ture Jardine.
 The Departments of Con- merce, Agriculture and Interi- or, under the plan would ap- point from among the present lforces in Alaska, a man to supervise and coordinate the work of his own Department, which in some cases are divid- ed among as many as 22 Bur- eaus. These executive officers would not occupy any new of flee but would be Vice-Secre taries for Alaska for their sev- eral Departments and would have power, subject to appeal to their superiors and decide all matters.
 The Vice-Secretaries would
 eorganile the work of tn hsic Departments, arrange and co ordinate with other Depart ments.
 The three Departments select. ed have tho most to do in con nection with Alaska affairs. The other Departments wouii function as at present.
 After Secretary Hoover con. siders the plan, it will be intro duced to Congress. The plan is said to be still in the formative stages.

The election canvassing board Iof Alaska was thrown out of gear when the last Congress abolished the office of Survey or General for the territory, that official being one of the three officers designated by law to certify the results of the election for delegate to Con- gress from Alaska.
 To remedy this situation, press reports say, the House passed a bill in which the Col lector of Customs was substi- tuted for the Surveyor Gene ral, the other members being the Governor and Secretary of Alaska. The Senate, however, favored minority party repre- 5entation on the board and substituted for the Collector of Customs, the National Commit teeman in the Territory repre- senting the chief political party in opposition to that of which the governor is a member. The bill was passed by the Senate in the latter form.

MUCH PROGRESS
 ON DUNWELL

Recent visitors to the Dun- we'll report that the mine is the scene of considerable activa ity. Work at present is princi- pally devoted to extending the raise from the No. 4 to the No. 3 tunnel and blocking out ore in readiness for the contem- plated milling activities next summer. The blocking out ac- tivities of the winter are said to have revealed immense ore resources, ten feet or more of solid ore beinng a not uncom- mon sight.
 Work is scheduled to start soon on a drift running north from the No. 3 tunnel. This extension is calculated to tap at depth the promising high grade ore showings found on the Sunbeam claim last year, which have been found to be part of an independent vein lying north of the present workings.
