FARMERS TOGROW
BETTER ALFALFA

at the laboratory of the State
Board of Agriculture, and each
farmer on whose farm these soil
samples are secured is furnished
with a lime requirement report to
serve as a guide in determining the
quantity of lime to apply to cor
rect the acidity of the soil. In
view of the low prices of practi-
caly all farm products, there is a
greater need this year than ever be-
fore for farmers to raise their own
feed, as well as food for their fam
lilies. Since there has been short
age of hay in the country for the
past few years due to the severe
drought conditions, farmers should
give more attention to the home
grown fed program, with particu-
lar reference to alfalfa which is
one Of the best hay crops that can
be grown. That more farmers each
year are becoming interested in
this crop is indicated by the large
number Of acres added to the coun-
ty during the past five years, for
surveys have shown that there
have been an average of 11O9
acres seeded each year, and many

NEW YORK, October PA survey
by V. R. Garfias and R. V. Whetsel Of
the foreign department of Henry l..
Doherty & Co. issued yesterday. eStl-
mates that world production of petro-
leum for 1882 will total approximately
1900 O0O,0 900 barrels, or about 100000
less than in 1881.
It was pointed out a decline OF 6l,-
600 900 barrels in the production of the
American field was chiefly responsible
for the decrease in the worlds output.
The Russian, Rumanian and Persian
fields, it was said, will show an aggre-
gate loss of about 100000 bar
rels, against an increase last year of
$4,000. 600
The American tariff on imports of
crude and refined products which went
into effect on June 81 of this year" he
said has not thus far seriously influ-
enced the production Of the American
fields nor the output of those countries
exporting TO the United States, due
largely to the unusually big imports
made in anticipation of the tariff.
The petroleum conferences held dur
ing the year in New York and Paris
are the first Worldwide efforts to rem
edy conditions by controlling the main
sources of supply. 1t is expected that
substantial benefits will eventually re-
suit from these conferences"

H. SUTHER RLAND IS DR0 W N ED AT. EXCURSION INLET
Foreman of Pacific Amer ican Cannery Meets Ac-
 cidental Death

Hjalmar Sutherland, aged 43, for twelve years outside foreman of the Pacific American Fisheries cannery at Excursion Inlet, was accidentally drowned there early last Sunday morning. The body was brought to this city for interment. The funer- al will be held Saturday.
 Meager details of the fatal acci- dent were developed at an inquest held at Hoonah.
 MT. Sutherland was missed Sun day forenoon by Chris Aven, a watchman Footprints in the snow on the cannery wharf led to the end of it. Concluding that MT. Sutherland had fallen off the wharf MT. Aven informed Chris Larson, another watchman. The latter went in small boat to Hoonah g miles distant, arriving there Sunday night He notified United States Commissioner Edwin V. Coo per and United States Deputy Mar snal George Jones.
 Body Is Found
 With MT. Larson, Deputy Marshal Jones went to Excursion Inlet Monday. Search for the body re- suited in the finding of it on the beach about 120 feet from the wharf The body was fully clothed, but the feet were in slippenrs in- stead of shoes. A watch. in one of the pockets, had stopped at 1:20 o'clock a. m., leading to the belief that the drowning had oc- cured at that time. w
 After the working season every fall, all blanks, except two laid lengthwise in the center of the wharf are removed from it. The two blanks that had been left we're covered with ice and then with

light fall of snow. They were slip pery.
 Left His Room HurriedIy
 The supposition is that MT. Suth- erland had been attracted to the wharf at night by the sound or lights of passing boat. He evil dently had left his living quarters hurriedly as indicated by the wear ing of the slippers and the ab- sence of an overcoat. He is thought to have slipped and to have fallen into the water.
 The fall from the wharf to the water was about 25 feet. At the time his watch stopped the tide was about half in, which would account for the body being carried to the beach.
 The remains were taken to Hoo nah by Deputy Marshal Jones Following the inquest, the jury re- turned verdict of accidental drowning.
 Came North 2 Months Ago
 MT. and Mrs. Sutherland and son, four months old, came north from Seattle two months ago. They were making their home at Hoo nah. The Pacific American Fish cries cannerey at Excursion Inlet is not to operate this season, but MT. Sutherland had been given charge of looking after it. His duties were to supervise the watch men and to superintend any neces- sary repairs.
 Mrs. Sutherland came to Juneau on the motorship Estebeth this forenoon with the body of her hus- band. Funeral services, at ? o'clock Saturday afternoon, will be in the Chapel of the Juneau Young Mor- tuary under direction of the Rev. Erling K. OlafSon. pastor of the Resurrection Lutheran church. h. terment will be in Evergreen ceme- tery.
 MT. Sutherland was well known in Juneau as well as other parts of Southeast Alaska.
 Among his surviving relatives is brother, Frank Sutherland, who has a fur farm in the Peril Strait district.

EXPERT SAYS TO
 PAY THE RANSOM

CHICAGO, Ill, March 3.-Pay the $50,000 ransom and pay it without delay, is the advice of an expert L. l. Randolph, to Col. Charles A Lindbergh. Pay the money and get the child back, then bend every effort to capture the kidnappers is his advice.
 MT Randolph said it is his opin- ion that the Kidnapping is not the work of the organized gang that has made Kidnapping racket. He believes the racketeers would not have been so foolhardy as to kid nap the child of anyone as prom inent as the Lindberghs, knowing fully that the hue and cry would be too great; and, if they had done 1t, they would have not asked such small sum as $50,000 for ransom.
 Randolph is head of the Secret Six" an organization whose mem bers are little known, and which has been engaged in running down racketeering kidnappers for several months.
 He holds the Lindbergh kidnap- ping is the work of either anna teurs in the game or of an insane person. Whichever it is. payment without delay is the only procedure possible consistent with the safety of the child" he said. Pursuit and capture can come later.

NEW CLUE IS REPORTED BY
 AUTHORITIES
Newark Police on Trac C k of Purchaser of Post
 Card-Search On

NEWARK, N. J., March 3.--Po- lice authorities here have uncovered clue that they believe points to the presence then in this city yes- terday of the kidnappers of the Iindbergh baby, it was announced last night.
 At combination drug and candy store it was learned that a man, whose description the police have, entered the store and pur- chased four cards identical with the card which was found in the mails here by a postal clerk yes terday addressed to "Col. Linberg' and which informed him he would be instructed later what to do to get back the child.
 The card was deposited in a mailbox about a block distant from the store and collected at :55 am. It was spotted by a postal clerk a short time later and police au- thorities notified. They violated postal laws by taking the card from the mail but do not expect any trouble on that account. After photostatic copies were made it was forwarded to Col. Lindbergh.
 In the intensive search made, an abandoned automobile sedan was found late yesterday in Newark suburb. All marks of identification had been removed, including licenee plates. Authorities said it was pos sible the car was used by the kid nappers.
