KETCHIKAN

The grand jury Investigating the death of Tom Harris, Ket- chikan, declared it their opinion that his death was due to sui : eide. The report of physicians indicate that Tom was shot from behind and following the report of the grand jury, he must have pulled off an acrobatic stunt to get the rifle behind him to put ir the order for daisies for later delivery.
 Regarding the death of Bert Evans, the jury declared: "The homicide, according to the ev; V dence, was not intentional. Tie deceased apparently was not known by the person firing the fatal shot. No motive to kill de- ceased was shown, Both parties were hunting in the same unin- habited brushy area, and ar.- partently did not know of each others presence there. In the excitement of the pursuit of a deer, the fatal shot was fired into brush without any idea that a human being was within range of the bullet. The homi- eide was unfortunate and is to te regretted. The grand jury is of opinion that felonious homi- eide has not been shown" Ard no bone but a bureaucrat thot of alleging that the death of Bert Evans was anything but accidental-but officious, ser wants of the people, lose sight of their worth and value and as sume that their decisions are law and without understanding or sympathy, work to make a record for their office. It took jury of Alaskans to straighten out the regrettable death of Bert Evans.

food bill. The garden this year should
be considered the most important acre
on the farm because it is good health
insurance as well as safe economy.
"The urge to get the garden going
can hardly be withstood now that
signs of spring are apparent" says E.
B. Morrow, extension horticulturist at
State College. "We have three valu-
able publications which may be used
by those needing information on es-
tablishing a garden and will send these
to any one making application as long
as the present supply lasts. These three
publications give suggestions about
starting the early plants, a manual of
garden planting and cultivation, and
a vegetable seeding guide. Citizens of
North Carolina may have them on re-
quest to~the agricultural editor at
State College,"
However, in beginning the garden
now, Mr.. Morrow recommends the
planting of asparagus, beets, cabbage,
carrots, lettuce, garden peas, irish po-
tatoes, pepper, radish, sweet potato, to-
mato and turnips. Large one-year-old
roots of the Mary Washington variety
will give a start with asparagus. The
Early Wonder and Detroit Dark Red
are good varieties of beets for the ear
ly planting. If the first seeding is
caught by a frost, another planting
should be made Immediately. Early
March is not too late to make plant
ings of the second early cabbages such
as the Copenhagen Market and the
Charleston Wakefield varieties. The
seedlings should have plenty of room
and the young plants transferred to the
| garden as soon as possible.
Carrots are as yet not generally pop
ular but more could be used for health.
The best varieties, according to Mr..
Morrow, are Chantenay and Danvers
Half Long. The other plants mention
ed are we'll known and are standbys in
most gardens. Early paintings should
be made at once.
