in this country has consisted in the
application of discoveries in pure
science that have been made else.
where. The scientists of Europe in
particular have an enviable record of
fundamental research. American sci
entists are glad to be able to use the
results of this work. They are glad
too. to take to heart the lessons OF
patience, of intensive scholarship and
of singleness of aim characteristic OF
this field of endeavor.
Research in pure science is par.
ticularly significant in the study OF
soils. Fundamental Investigations in
physics, chemistry and biology are
essential.
while the Federal act establishing
the State experiment stations covered
the entire agricultural field, 1t spe-
officially provided that. SO far as prac'
ticable, all such stations should de-
vote a portion of their work to the
examina ton and classification OF the
soils of their respective States and
Territories with view to securing
more extended knowledge and better
development of their agricultural ca
liabilities. By the Federal act OF wv
the soils work of the United States
Department of Agriculture. which mad
previously operated as a division, was
recognized and organized into sep
arate Bureau of Soils. A further re;
organization is now being effected by
which the research work of the Bu-
reau of Chemistry is being combined
with that of the Bureau of Soils into
one large unit, to be known as the
Bureau of Chemistry and Soils.
Present Scientific Aims.
1.-THE scientists Of the Department
Of Agriculture have not only Identified
individual soils and classified and
mapped them, but have carried on re-
search in the economical use OF l)W-
grade phosphate for fertilizer manu-
facture. in nitrogen fiXatlon and IN
other problems connected with the
soil. You will learn in this congress
of the accomplishments, the plans and
the hopes of our scientists in this
field. and they in turn will obtain from
YOU fresh information and stimulation.
"You realize, am sure, from the
brief survey which | have presented
to YOU the Importance which the GOV
eminent of the United States has at
tached for nearly hundred years
and attaches today, to agricultural re-
search. You may be certain, there
fore. Of the warmest hopes or the
people of the United States that this,
the First International Congress OF
Soil Science, may be abundantly fruit
full in illumination and inspiration to
all who participate in it, and in stimu-
lation of efficient practices and high
ideals of research throughout the
world. Science is not confined within
any national boundaries. Its achieve
ments and it's benefits, like the
achievements and benefits of all truth
are at the service of the world for the
tightening of human labor and the en-
richment of human life"

BELLANCA FLYERS
At BADEN-BADEN
1000 Give Chamberlin and
Levine Enthusiastic Re-
ception on Arrival.
BY the Associated Press.

BADEN-BADEN. Germany, June
13.-Clarence Chamberlin and Charles
Levine were given an enthusiastic re-
ception by crowd of about 1000 at
the railway station upon their arrival
from Berlin this morning.
The burgomaster and members of
the municipal council escorted the
transatlantic flyers to their hotel,
where there was another demonstra-
ton and a frantic rush for auto
graphs. The airmen enjoyed their
first railway journey in Europe and
said the continental sleeping cars were
preferable to those at home.
At Frankfort and Karlsruhe they
were serenaded by representatives of
the Aero Club, delegations of German
war aviators and Boy and Girl Scouts.
They plan to tour the Black Forest
and to leave for Bremen the latter
part Of the week to meet their wives,
who are due Friday from New York.

FLYERS Will Wait Until Columbia Is

BERLIN, June 10 F).-Trouble with
the valve mechanism of the transat-
lanic plane Columbia has brought dis
appointment to the people of Munich
and Vienna, for Clarence D. Chamber
lin and Charles A. Levine had to post
pone their flights to these places for
several days until repairs can be made.
They were offered a special plane
by the German Aerial League, but
preferred to wait so as to carry out
their original intention of flying in the
machine which carried them across the
Atlantic from New York to Germany.
The flight to Munich was to have
taken place yesterday.

Life on Other Planets.

The question as TO whether there is
life on Venus or not cannot be
answered definitely. DR.. G. G. Abbott
Of the Smithsonian Institution says
that it seems more probable that life
corresponding to life on the earth
exists on Venus than on Mars. The
conditions on Venus are similar to
those on earth, while Mars probably
differs in many ways.

The Americas are the native home

seeking nectar and tiny insects.

good-by to the American embassy and

wives, now on the way from New
York, at Bremerhaven June IT. after
which the party will come to Berlin
and spend day here. Then it is ex-
pected their program OF European
flights will be resumed.
Woman Flyer May Realize Hope.
Mr.. Levine has made a provisional
promise to Thea Rasche, Germany's
woman pilot, to consider providing her
with Bellanca plane similar to the
Columbia to enable her to try flight
across the ocean from Berlin to New
York. He is anxious to see her per-
form in the air. and it is likely an ex-
hibition will be arranged when he re-
turns to Berlin. He has expressed the
belief, however, that a male pilot
should accompany her on an attempt
to fly to New York, explaining that
he did not doubt her flying ability,
but that he felt the strain of such
long flight might prove too much, nc
matter how strong a woman might be

BOREALIS RE ON
 SALE MONDAY NEXT

The High School Annual, the Aurora Bo:ealis. now being finished in the job shop of the Nugget, will be completed and on sale by Mon day, June 18th.
 The magazine is chock full of good reading matter, accompanied by many beautiful and interesting cuts. which latter. incidentally, de- layed the publication, for they were two months enroute from Nenana to Nome.
 The Aurora Borealis is very fine little magazine and reflects a reat deal of credit upon the staff of the publication, who are all school boys and girls. There are some stories in the annual which would do credit to some of the big magazines.
 The business people of the city were liberal in their support of the publication, subscribing literally for advertising space
 The price of the magazine is one dollar, and it is well worth it.
The Nome nugget., 1927-06-11

In this connection 1t may be ob- served that it has been a we'll known fact for some two months past that the merchants of Nome would be short of milk. eggs. sug- ar. and other commodities. Would those who bewail the Nuggets fail- ure to go down into it's own pock- ct to finance the passenger list, ex- pect our local merchants to supply the deficiency in necessary commo- dities by airplane from Anchorage or elsewhere, without increased prices?
 The highest ambition of a news paper man is to serve the public, and the Nugget has never consci- ously deviated from this aim. We are not running an eleemosynary institution. nor have we an endow- ment nor a subsidy. We must op- crate within our means or inevit- ably suspend. How long could cigar store. soft drink parlor, drug store. or other place of public en- tertainment, or even a place of pub lie worship. exist if those who ab- sorb their heat and took advantage of their lights, contributed nothing to their support?
 The subscribers of all papers, in- cluding the Nugget, appreciate the advantage of town paper. With them the fault-finding is as scarce as hens teeth. They are the best element. be they businessmen, min CTS, manufacturers, or laborers of all communities They are boost CTS, not knockers, and compared with the latter class. their name is legion. You can no more kill newspaper that is putting forth its best effort to serve the public than you can kill any other legitimate public institution.

 The Funeral services were con- ducted under the auspices of the Pioneers of Alaska. from their lg- loo, at 11:00 o'clock Tuesday fore- noon. The Moose Lodge also att tended in a body, MT. Crooks being member of both organizations, and Charter member of the Pio- neers. A large crowd of the mem. bers of both lodges were present. as well as large number of the citizens of the city who are not members of either order.
 The funeral arrangements were under the direction of Undertaken B. w. Nelly.
 At the Pioneer Igloo. the Choir of the Federated Church rendered "Nearer My God to Thee,' and R. B. Julian rendered violin solo, as sisted by Mrs Lille Lewis at the piano.
 Curtis C. Crooks was born in Beaver County. Pennsylvania, July :, 1869.
 He came to Dyea. Alaska. in Feb ruarv of 1898. and from that point went to Dawson where he remained for two years. He then came to Nome, down the Yukon river. ar irving at Nome in July of 1900.
 The deceased followed the occu- patton of prospector and miner for many wears, but in the last several years has been the owner and man. ager of the Surprise Store at Nome until the time of his death, June 5th, 1927.
 He was one of the first to iden- | tify himself with the work of the l Pioneers of Alaska, being charter member of Igloo No. One at Nome, l being Roll member No. Il. He was an active member and served as President of Igloo No. 1 in 1925.
 The deceased leaves behind him q wife and three children. all of whom reside in Nome
