gresham Garner led the fight 70
increase this rate TO 3 cents, ana
the ways and means committee,
over the opposition of New England
and New York representatives, sub
mitted an amendment 20 increase
the rate TO 2 cents.
The Fordney-M Nc umber bill-the
present tariff-carried a l-cent rate
on onions. Upon recommendation
Of the tariff commission the presi-
dent increased this TO ! 1-2 cents,
the maximum under the flexible
tariff provision. While this in
crease has proved of some benefit
IL fails TO cover the difference IN
the cost of production and trans
portation between domestic and for
eign-grown onions. Egyptian and
Spanish onions, produced by cheap
labor and securing low water rates
to the American consuming centers
on the Atlantic seaboard, are COM
ing in large quantities. II is the
claim OF Congressman Garner and
the various associations of onion
growers that a rate Of 3 cents is
required to fully cover the differ
ence in the cost OF production and
transportation.
Battle Promised
The battle which will be inaugu-
rated to transfer long staple cot
ton from the free to the dutiable
list will be one of the most inter
esting In the senate consideration
OF the tariff bill. The various ag-
ri%cultural organizations are interest
ing themselves in behalf Of the
long staple growers. pointing out
that this Is one OF the few aEri-
cultural products listed among the
staples upon which a tariff will
prove of material benefit. Produc-
ton OF long staple in this country
is considerably below the domestic
consumption and as a result large
quantities are imported. principally
from Egypt.
Advocates of a duty or long staple
cotton assert that an ample supply
for domestic needs could be grown
in South Texas and Arizona If the
growers were granted protection.
Practically all Of South Texas IS
well adapted TO the growing Of long
staple, and its production I'm that
area would eliminate a large acre
age now in competition with the
rest of the cotton belt.
Imports Of long staple cotton in
fiscal year l926-27 totaled 4O0.983
bales as compared with 20l .585 bales
in 1878. OF the 1862 imports
231767 bales came from Egypt. 93.-

GOOD REPORTS FROM ALASKA
 BUFFALO.

The Department of Agriculture is getting goo reports from the twenty-three buffalo that we from Montana into Alaska last yea to a bulletin issued by the Departmen The bulletin was issued April g, and says
 The introduction of buffalo into Alaska is an experiment that is being watched with much interest by wild-life conservationists Twenty three of these animals were shipped from the National Bison Range, Montana to the Territory by the Alaska Game Com mission in June, 1928, through appro- priation made for the purpose by the Ter rtorial Legislature. Nineteen of them liberated McCarty Alaska, and four were he'd at the Reindeer Experiment Sta tion of the Biological Survey of the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Fairbanks for experimental purposes.
 In recent report to the Biological Sur vey L. J. Palmer, in charge of the reindeer station stated that up to January the buff falo were located on Jarvis Creek not far from where they liberated, and were feeding to a large extent on wild vetch They seem to have adapted themselves to the country he said, and to be doing we'll
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-04-23

On February IS the herd was reported on Clear Water Creek, miles from McCarty, stream that has open water throughout the winter and a good growth of brush and grass The Alaska Game Commission has hay stored at McCarty for feeding the buff falo if necessary, but up to mid February the animals were finding sufficient food and were in good condition, although there had been some unusually heavy snowfalls.
 The buffalo retained at the reindeer sta tion are each fed at the rate of Is pounds of hay a day, and. are in excellent condi- tion-round and fat The winter has been unusually mild at the station, but during one brief period when the temperature rang ed from 30 to 40 degrese below zero with high humidity-it was noted that the anil mals were covered with hoarfrost, and as soon as they finished feeding at the corrals each morning, they would immediately seek an upper sheltered hollow in the middle of one of the pastures or the top of warmer adjoining ridge. During warm weather the buffalo remain near the feed troughs at the corrals. On the range, when not grazing, they seek shelter in the forest.

More or Less True

Styles are styles, and many a girl who looks like she had felt that she had to keep her engage ment even if she couldn't find her clothes is really prude at heart.
 A woman always feels she has done something as wonderful as rescuing a whole shipload of lives in an angry sea when she has put over a dinner that has been wor- rying her for weeks without even father making any bad breaks to spoil it.
 A girl can't help it if she has a face that might be all right to wear to a masquerade, but it is hard to figure how man will take the pledge to kiss only it during the rest of their lives.
 The women are getting used to having the men let them stand in the street cars. but gallantry won't be entirely a thing of the past un- til they also are expected to tip their hats to the men, instead of the reverse.
 The only persons as unhappy as those who can't get all they want are those who get all they deserve.

WASHINGTON, April 23. - The writer hears that when the good ship Mayflower was ordered de- commissioned by President Hoover no one was grieved so much as the young society group of the Ma tional Capital
 To them the Presidential yacht was favorite rendezvous. After noon teas never were enjoyed so much as when served on the decks of the Mayflower. Invitations to little informal functions there were greatly prized and sought after. In common parlance one simply had to rate" to be invited.
 And with the passing of the yacht and it's dashing young off, cers, debs, sub-debs and many others feel the loss keenly.
 However, grief is not restricted to this class alone. We also hear that members of Congress were fairly besieged with requests from the folks back home that they be permitted to visit the yacht. The Mayflower was probably the most popular sight in Washington for these out of town visitors. More than one Congressmans work will be frightened now that the boat has departed from the Washington Navy Yards.

 From the air Dick Gilkey, an av- iator, has scattered the deadly grain over 14,000 acres, and thou sands of birds have been extermi- mated.
 Some of the farmers have had to re-seed their land, but they be- lieve the remaining sparrows will not be able to decrease greatly this years yield.
