 ONTARIO CONTEST
GEORGE YOUNG, CATALINA ISL AND CHANNEL CHAMP, WILL
 PARTICIPATE

TORONTO, Ont, July 2S. (P)-The wide waters of western Lake Ontario are beckoning to a host of the worlds greatest long-distance swimmers. Preparations are well under way for the $5O,O0O marathon swim over 2l- mile course to be held here in connec- tion with the Canadian National Fix position, on August 31.
 From half a dozen countries Of the Old World and from practically every State of the United States and every Province of Canada have come more than 100 applications for entry. The event bids fair to take it's place with the English Channel and Catalina Island swims. Veterans of those waters are entered in large numbers, with others who will De seeking fame and fortune for the first time.
 Among those who have registered are George Young of Toronto, and win ner of the $25,OO0 Catalina Island event early this year; Ernest Vier- kotter of Hamburg, one of the con- querors of the English Channel; Ishak Helmy, Egyptian contender for chan nel honors, and Jane Sion of Brussels, another unsuccessful channel swim mer, but holder of many women's re- cords in European swimming.
 Miss Zion will have plenty of com panions of her own sex. Attracted by prizes of s5,OOO, s2,50O and $5$0O for the first, second and third places for women contestants, a dozen have en- tered their names. Neither are Miss Sion, Vierkotter nor Helmy alone in representing foreign lands. Italy and Sweden also have entries.
 Both the start and finish of the event will be at the Canadian Ma tional Exposition grounds on the lake shore just west of this city. The 21- mile course will be roughly triangular, with the farthest point practically out of sight of land.
 Of a total of purse of S50,O00 the winner of the event will receive $30,- 900, while second place will net the runner-up s7,50O, and third place $2,- 500. The fourth prize will be $1,000, and fifth and sixth $500. Women's prizes will be in addition.

REGULATING TRAPPING

REGULATING TRAPPING
 ANNOUNCEMENT is made by the Alaska Game Com n mission that survey is being made to determine if the past years open for trapping beaver has served to depete the supply and should this be the case it questionable if trapping of beaver during the next season will be allowed
 Hasn't Alaska had about enough of this overnight orders business?
 If the Commission hopes to gain any respect for it's regulations and cooperation the part of the trappers and prospectors it must abandoned the time honored bureaucratic custom of issuing order overnight per emptorily forbiddng this and that thing.
 It would appear reasonable if such orders were issued at least year advance and thus allow those most vtay interested prepare for the changed condition
 trapper must get his supplies out to his field of ac uon before the freeezeup the fall Once he leaves the lines of communication he has of ascerainng these sudden changes in regulations There number of where this has resulted in unwttngy break ing the law.
 If there to be changes in regulations they should be made at season when everyone may be informed and this should be at least year in advance of closing on certain kinds of fur.
 will face facts they will observe that there are hundreds of men in Alaska who unable to secure ployment in winter; many of them prospectors who combine little trapping to help out the grubstake If these to be denied the chance of securing isence in the Territory, they will be compelled to do as many others do pack up when the begins to fly go Outse There too much of this for the good the Territory
 The Game Commission does not stand alone in it's at ttude and is cupable than other bureaus Only few weeks ago the Fisheries Bureau issued order overnight closing every cannery Tn the Bristol Bay dis trict because the salmon late When one consd the economic side of the question the system becomes illadvised if not actually vicious
 According to figures made public by the game com mission the take of beaver promises to reach 10000 pets This means one beaver every 25O0O square miles of rtory It would be interesting indeed if the few game wardens employed could make of this vast area in ten or more years not to mention period of year
 The distinction between commerciaizing game and fur for the benefit of the pioneer the ground and that or preserving 1t tor sportsmen is thatthe the ground is compelled to utilize for his very existence and therefore careful than the who seeks head for trophy and leaves the meat rot in the woods If this transient business of more value to Alaska economically than permanent resdency it would be reasonable to rec omend that all shooting be prohibited to residents and that they be made gameeepers for those who afford sport.

COUNTY AGENT FINDS SOME
STATE SOIL POOR FOR ALFALFA
continued from first pagel


is to use the right kind of seed, for
very often the variety or strain of
seed will result in success or a
failure for the farmer. For this
section the Kansas-Nebraska north
ern grown seed is the strain recon-
mended, and under no circumstances
should the southern grown seed be
used Unless the land has success
fully produced alfalfa in previous
wears, the seed should be inoculated
with either the pure culture or the
soil and glue method, as many fail
ures in alfalfa culture have been at
tributed to the lack of seed inocul-
alton.
Lime is also an essential factor
in the profitable culture of this
legume, and no attempt should be
made to sow alfalfa seed on land
that does not contain enough lime
to counteract the acidity of the
soil. for this acid condition of the
land will retard the action of the
bacteria which introduced through
the incubation for the purpose OF
forming the nitrogen-gathering no
dulles on the roots of the plants. In
order to determine the degree OF
acidity of the soil and the amount
of lime that may be necessary TO
correct this condition, samples OF
soil should be taken from the fleld
and tested for their lime require
ments. These soil samples may be
sent either to the County Agent or
to the laboratory of the State Board
of Agriculture at Dover, where
these tests will be made free OF
charge.
The recommended date for SOW
ING alfalfa in this county is from
August Is to 25, and the usual rate
of seeding is about fifteen or twenty
pounds to the acre. In addition to
the lime, it is also advisable to use
from $50 to 400 pounds per acre OF
high grade commercial fertilizer,
consisting of a 2-8-5 or a 2-8-6
analysis, applied at the time the
seed is being drilled.
Those farmers who are expecting
to SOW some alfalfa this summer,
and who would like to secure ad-
ditional information that might
pertain to their individual farms,
are requested to get in touch with
their county Agent who will be glad
to give them all the assistance pos
sible in securing a satisfactory
stand of this crop. Those who at
tend the Kent-Sussex Fair at Har-
rington this week are also being
invited to visit the County Agents
exhibit booth where they will have
the opportunity to discuss these
problems in detail and learn more
about the cultural methods of this
legume as nay crop for cur Della
ware farms.
