new species of confer, tested it for rare and exotic fiavors, and finding it acceptable, made it an article of daily diet until little remained.
 Tt has been snown that eli matic seed source has a lot to do with the success of such plant ing experiments, and forest nurs- cries recognize that it may mean the difference between successful and unprofitable forest planting.
 Tt is believed that Douglas fir and perhaps Scotch pine, if care fully selected as to seed source and properly handled in shipment and planting, would grow suc- cessfully in Southeastern Alaska. 1t is question, however, if such trees would produce yiable seed, as many species, removed from their native habitat, pro- duce no seed capable of germina- tion. The true test of a species for introduction into a new eli mate is it's ability to reproduce itself.

ELK AND BEAVER DOING WELL IN
 ALASKA REGIONS

w. T. White, animal husbandry- man for the Experimental Station of the Department of Agriculture, in wire to the Alaska Game Con- mission, said that eight elk placed at Kalsin Bay in 1928, were all in fine condition, were ranging for their daily provender. and that the caretaker thought that they had doubled in weight since their arrival
 MT. White also said that it was his belief that no apprehension should be felt for the complete success of this venture on Kodiak Island, as far as the weather and range conditions are concerned.
 The beaver, which were trans ported to Kalsin bay in 1926, ap- pear to be thriving and there are numerous families in evidence.
 The elk and beaver referred to in MT Whites report, were cap tured and placed, under the direc- ton of the Alaska Game Commis- sion. Funds for this enterprise were appropriated from the Terri torial stocking program by the 1925-27 Territorial Legislatures.

NEW FORESTRY EXPERIMENTS
 MADE, ALASKA
Douglas Fir and Scotch
 Pine Can Be Grown Successfully

Douglas fir and perhaps Scotch pine, if carefully selected as to seed source and properly handled in shipment and planting, will grow successfully in Southeastern Alas ka, according to R. F. Taylor, who is doing sily,culture research work in the Forestry Service
 MT. Taylor. in describing sovor- al efforts of experimental plant Ing in Alaska, said:
 Tt has often been wondered why Southeastern Alaska, with a climate so nearly like that of Puget Sound, does not support the same tree species. No one has yet adequately accounted for the ab- sence of Douglas fir in this re- zion, although many theories have been advanced. Approximate fig ures of mean temperature for Ju- neau and Longmire Springs, Wash, show 422o and 43' respectively. and of precipitation, 80 inches and 103 inches respectively No sys- tematic study has ever been prose- cnted and although occasional ex- perimental plantings have been made, few of these were properly cared for or careful analysis made of results.

Sitka Shipment


 "The first attempt on record seems to be a shipment of 15 Douglas fir to Sitka in 1913 These were planted near the National Monument where the cattle tram pied all but one. The survivor is making good growth, averaging 10 to 12 inches per year and is now 11h feet tall.
 "In 1922 B. M. Behrends, of Ju- neau. procured through the Forest Service 100 Douglas fir fro m Washington. These were planted on glacial flat miles from Ju- neau, and on the whole have done fairly well, if approximately 501t survival after years can be so considered. The survivors are making normal growth"
 Seward Experiment
 ''In the spring of 1926 two dozen Douglas fir, 10 Yellow pine and I6 Silver fir, all from Washington, were planted at Seward by H. ". Hoben. These were all reported as doing well year later, but no recent reports are on file.
 "The largest shipment of exotic tree species arrived in March, 1927, and consisted of 600 Douglas fir, 125 Noble fir, and 125 Silver fir, all from Washington. These were distributed at Ketehikan, Craig, Sitka, Cordova and Anchor age, being planted by District Rangers. A few were given to interested parties.
 "Where the Douglas fir were properly cared for and planted with care as to site, results have been good; when carelessly handled few trees survived. The silver fir and noble fir have not, as a rule, done very well and redwood and yellow pine show tendencies to pass out with little resistance.

to parched crops in most sections Of the
Middle West, but desolation and floods
to parts OF Iowa. Seven inches of rain
were reported at Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
with 3.5 inches recorded here.
Farmers in the flooded areas of Iowa

which they had needed badly to break
the long drought. Thousands OF acres
we're inundated. highways were awash
and railroad tracks and bridges were
swept away.
Most of the damage wrought by the
storm was between Cedar Rapids and
Belle PLANE. Iowa. Washouts on three
transcontinental rail lines delayed
trains from to 20 hours
The Lincoln Highway was awash be-
tween Chelsea and Gladbrook, and 1900
acres Of corn were inundated. At Blairs-

Afternoon, Saws Disuatch to Berlin,

BERLIN, August LP).-The dirigible
Graf Zeppelin does not expect to reach
New York before Sunday afternoon, de-
clares special dispatch received here
this morning from the Ullstein News
Agency correspondent: aboard the di-
rigihle.
The correspondent gave the speed of
the Zeppelin beginning her long steady
push across the Atlantic from the
Azores as As miles an hour. Part of the
text Of his message was slightly garbled
in transmission. but 1t indicated that
the Graf Zeppelin was proceeding at a
reduced speed toward the American
coast
The time was given as 8 pm Friday
eastern standard time). Her position
was then west and south of Pico Island
in the Azores.
The Ullstein correspondent found the
seven American passengers aboard the
djrigible much more enthusiastic over
the voyage than the "blase Germans -
Everybody was dying for smoke" and
found the idea almost unbearable that
people could smoke elsewhere in the
world.
