 The lines are long, low and straight; the several color harmo- nies in which the car is offered are given touches of brightness by the nickled headlamps, radiator and door handles, with the added attractiveness of nickeled cowal lamps, and finish strips.
 There IS so much luXuriousness embraced in this new model that it would require a couple of col- umns to accurately describe but the many other details can be ob- tained from MT. Lechner who will be very glad to relate further why this car is attaining such wide prominence.

NO MARINE SURGEON SEWARD BEFORE AT
 LEAST ANOTHER YEAR

Upor receipt of letter from Surgeon General H. s. Cumming statinc that he could not possibly appoint a Marine Surgeon in Sew ard before the fiscal year 1881, de- spite -ne fact that his investiga : tons disclosed to his satisfaction that thare is need for one here, the Seward Chamber of Commerce yes- erdav wired the delegate at Wash ,ngtor requesting that he introduce an emergency Bill declaring Sew ard to be in immediate need of a public health surgeon on account of hahbut boats and other fishing vessels now running in to Seward, and because of the annual increase in steamer thraffic to this port which begins in the spring.
 The matter of securing Public Health Service for the port of Sew ald is one that the Seward Con- lnercial body has been actively en- gagged in for some time. After months of persistent effort they nave succeeded in placing the re- quest before the Surgeon Genera, and d; the most, the establishing ol 2 relief station in Seward, by tn, Government is little more than F lnont.S away.

AMOUNT PUBLISHED
 WAS CORRECT SUM

The impression prevails locally that the report, published yester- day in the Gateway relative to the appropriation of $25,oo0 for the Seward-radio station road, was incorrect; that it was thought the amount should have read $2,500. The Juneau Empire and Cordova ! Times published the same article and their article gave the same amount as published by this paper, $25,O0O. It is thought the Bureau of Publis Roads intend to raise the roadbed over the high tide limit and construct steel bridges across the two streams, making a real job of it, as is their usual cus- tom on any project.

NO CHAMP GAMES

Word from Juneau is to the ei- feet the Petersburg cage team ca not get together with the Juneau quad as Juneau wishes them to como t., their town for the games as they have trayeled to Petersburg for the last few years. Therefore, 1t looks as if there will be no South eastern Alaska champion hip bas- zetbaii game this season and which also means the trip up this way has orobably been called off.

quotations from the new law:
mo person shall drive a motor
vehicle as chauffeur upon any
public highway in this state unless
he be licensed by Secretary of
State as provided in this act.
"The term chauffeur as used in
this act, shall mean and shall in

Alfalfa Good Crop on
Minnesota Sandy Soil

When properly handled, alfalfa is
profitable crop on most of the
sandy lands in Minnesota. This
has been proven by the soils divis-
ion of the University of Minnesota
on its several sand experimental
fields. On. the Coon Creek field in
Anoka county, the average yield
for 8 years on lined plots has been
nearly 3 tons per acre. Valued at
SIS ton, this represents a larger
return than can be secured from
small grains on the best grain land
In the state, says Prof. George Ne
som, who is in charge of the Coon
Creek trials.
The first seeding of alfalfa at this
field is now 10 years old, having
been put in in 1919. Except for
1920, other seedlings have been
made each year since, good stands
being secured in every case. The
stand from the first seeding on
the lined plots is still as good as
ever, and the same is true of the
later seedlings, showing that alfalfa
will do well on sandy soil, year af-
ter year.
Besides producing a greater in
come per acre than other crops, al

Use Poison Bran Mash
to Control CutwOrms

CutWormS In gardens and fields
are readily killed by the use of a
poison bran bait, says A. G. Rug
giles, state entomologist and profess
sor of entomology, University
Farm, st. Paul. Following are the
kinds and amounts of ingredients
needed to make small quantity
of mash for garden treatment: s
pounds bran, one-fourth pound Par
is green, 1 teacupful of blackstrap
or other cheap molasses, and
enough water to moisten the entire
mixture.
The dry bran and Paris green
should be thoroughly mixed. Then
the molasses should be mixed with
q uart of water and poured
over the mash, after which the
whole mass should be stirred very
thoroughly. If necessary, NOR.
water should be added to make a
moist, crumbly mash that will scat
ter readily.
This bait may be sprinkled about
the base of plants or in a drill be-
tween the rows. Care should be
taken not to let it touch the tender
plants which might be burned by
the Paris green Applications
should be made in the afternoon
or evening so as to attract the
worms as they come from their
burrows to feed.
The poison bait control method is
also well adapted to field crops,
such as corn, flax, wheat and oats.
1t should be mixed in the same
manner and scattered broadcast by
hand. The following list of ingred-
tents will make a supply sufficient
to cover about acres: bran, so
pounds; Paris green, 2 pounds; mo-
lasses, gallon; water, 2 to 8 gal
Ions. This same bait, with the adj
dition of banana oil, and the same
method of application may be used
in discriminating grasshoppers.

workable technique for building
Farm Bureau that will more sure

Of milk or more day from pas
ture alone, they usually do so by
robbing their. own bodies which is
followed by rapid decline in milk
flow. It is short-sighted policy
to allow good cows to overwork
themselves in this fashion, says
Mr.. Hanson.
Cows producing heavily during
the early pasture season may not
show any increase in output as a
result of additional feed, but such
feeding will help to maintain their
producing ability throughout the
season, particularly during the lean
pasture months of July, August and
September. From a study of $50
herds in Minnesota COW testing as
sociations, it was found that $50
herds, which were fed some grain
or roughage in addition to pasture,
yielded AZ pounds more butterfat
annually and 5000 greater net
profits per cow than those given
pasture only.
What to feed is not so serious a
problem in summer, since grass
provides plenty of protein and sue
culence. Ordinarily, a mixture of
common farm grains such as corn,
oats and barley will prove satisfac-
tory. This should be fed at the
rate of 3 to 4 pounds daily for cows
producing 20 to rs pounds milk, or
about 6 to pounds for cows yield
ing 30 to 40 pounds.
The above amounts apply when
pastures are abundant. When the
pastures become dry, some succu-
lene such as silage, green corn or
alfalfa should be given along with
the grain for best results. Such a
program of feeding will not only
maintain high production during
the summer says Mr.. Hanson, but
will keep the cows vigorous and in
good trim for profitable winter
milking.

SIMPLE DIPLOMACY.

It is worthy of note that Premier James Ramsay Macdonald is not bringing any naval or military experts. He has experts of any sort. He IS bringing his daughter, friend and two secretaries. Notwithstanding the visit is from the head of one of the two greatest of nations to the head of the other of the two and that the matters to be dis cussed are of the utmost importance to both coun- tries and the world, it is of the simplest and most informal expeditions that ever set forth on official business of any sort
 This is characteristic of modern development It recognizes that the affairs of nations simple matters when they met simply and directly and with fortnight honesty. MT. Macdonald and MT. Hoover will sit down and talk things over with out desire to deceive guile of any sort.
 It must not be thought, however, that there will be anything approaching casualness in the talks They will be about things of tremendous inn portance. The circumstance that the Prime Min ister of England is coming to talk with the Presi- dent of the United States is evidence enough that the questions to be discussed are not to be re- garded lightly
 The character of the who will confer at Washington, well as their official stations is promising. It is not out of the way to guess that the next week or ten days will mark very i'm portant epoch in the affairs of peoples and the progress of civilization.
