Aid Strawberry
With Wild Ones
Foul Promising Varieties
Are Found Suitable for
Home Preserving.

(Prepsfed by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
All 1.-THE strawberries in the United
Stated and most of those of the world
thai is, the tame ones-are descend
ants Of two wild American strawber-
ries, dne a native of the Pacific coast
and the other a native of the eastern
United States.
There are many other wild straw
berries, however, that did not take
part in developing our present kinds.
In THE untried wild ones may Turk
some valuable trait that can be bred
into our domestic varieties which may
make them even more desirable than
they now are. At any rate, plant
breeders are turning to the wild sorts
for improving the strawberry, espe-
cialIy to develop new types better
adapted to such specific purposes as
canning, preserving, and candy max
ing.
Four Promising Varieties.
George NJ. barrow, who is in charge
of strawberry-breeding work for the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, has already achieved some sue
cess in this field. From the thousands
Of crosses made he has selected four
promising varieties especially suited
for preserving. They are known only
by number as vet, and will need to be
tested for adaptation before they can
be recommended for planting. The
breeding of preserving sorts is only
begun, he says, and every region will
need its own particular variety.
Technique of Breeding.
The technique of breeding is rela-
lively simple, Mr.. barrow explains,
but the important and difficult part is
in making the selections. TO breed
a new kind, no matter for what pur-
pose, two parent varieties are crossed.
They may be wild or tame. The pol
len from the flower of one is placed
on the pistil of the flower of the 9th
er. The seed developing from such a
cross is planted and every resultant
seeding grown to fruiting age before
selections are made. If there are
three acres of seedlings in fruiting
there may be 5000 kinds, each differ
ent from the others. From this enor-
nous number certain promising ones
are saved and each is propagated in d
separate short row. When they bear,
if there is sufficient fruit, canning and
preserving tests are made of the more
promising ones by Gamers and pre-
servers with whom Mr.. barrow has
made c%-qalsratiye arrangements.

Much Money Is Lost by
Planting Inferior Seed

Thousands of dollars are lost every
year by planting seed of low vitality.
Seedsofsall field crops should be tested
for termination before planting. This
is especially urgent now for corn and
sorghums. One cannot tell from the
appearance of seed how well it will
grow. Last year 141 lots out of the
5000 lots Of seed tested at the state
seed laboratory terminated from 0 to
80 per cent. This means that several
thousand acres would have been plant
ed to seed which would not grow.

Money Spent ON Roofs

1t cost $123,21O,305 literally to keep
Il roof over the heads of the Ameri-
can people in 1927, the Department
Of Commerce survey indicates. That
amount was spent on all types of roof
material-slate, tile, single, asbestos
and so on. Cement products used for
roofing are not included in the total
given, however, and that material
probably added considerably to the
total spent upon roofs.

of defeat and thralldom to the country
which is now Czechoslovakia.

Deep snow in the mountains of Mckinley Park and adjac- ent areas is causing heavy loss of mountain sheep, according to reports to the Alaska Game Commission. Snow conditions this spring are worse than at any time within the memory of old-timers. Inability of the sheep to obtain feed result ed in much suffering among the animals, many having died in recent weeks and many more were on the verge of starvat- ion. A number driven by storm to the vicinity of Igloo creek were found by rangers found ering in the deep snow and so weak that they made no resist ance to capture.

Reviving his two-year old fight on the governors office, and also launching a new one on the Territorial highway en- gineer, Robt. J. Sommers, James Wickersham has again started a movement designed to prevent payment of territor- ial funds to clerks in the gov ernor's office and to stop Som- mers from collecting his salary.
 The first step in the renewed fight was the sending of letters to the auditor and treasurer to the effect that they would vio- late the law if they paid out money for the purposes men, toned, and citing penal provis- ions in the so-called Controller bill. Wickersham makes the claim that the recent territor- ial enactment does away with the highway engineer until the election in November, 1880.

Attacked by a pack of vicious malamutes, Mrs. Frank Iver- son of Mccarthy, recently re- ceived scores of wounds and was saved from probable death only by the bravery of her com panion, Mrs. Dixie Olson, who beat the animals off with a driving whip. More than 200 stitches were necessary to close the wounds in Mrs. Iverson's body. Mrs. Iverson's act in brushing hurriedly past the lead dog without warming is believed to have precipitated the near tragedy. The animal leaped at her instantly and was followed by the rest of the team. Knocking her down the dogs leaped on her prostrate body, biting her from head to foot and all but stripped her of clothing before Mrs. Olson could reach her. Mrs. Iverson was taken to the Kennecott hospital, where she was later reported as out of danger, tho she will be scared for life.
