 The fiier on reaching Fairbanks circled the Weeks Aviation Field twice before landing. He came to the ground perfectly, and taxied the Winnie Mae close in.- front of the hangar of the Pacific Alaska Airways He smiled at the large cheering crowd that had gathered to greet him.
 'It was good to see old Joe, last night" referring to MT. Crosson's presence at Flat where he went with repairs for the Winnie Mae, after the craft had crashed there yesterday afternoon, he, said to Mrs. Crosson.
 Going into the hangar, Post talked with resident aviators, newspapermen and acquain ances whom he made when he was in Fairbanks On his joint flight with Gatty two years ago.
 He then left the field to go to the home of Mir. and Mrs. Crosson, where the world fiier was guest during his stay in Fairbanks.
 Post was in excellent condition on his arrival in Fairbanks. Dur ing he day the plane was serviced and replentished with gasoline.

Food for Wild Fowl Is
Improving. Saw Reports

Eelgrass. the staple food of sea brant
and an important forage plant for
Canada geese and black ducks, seems
to be coming hack in some sections
of its Atlantic coast range, where
serious shortages have occurred re-
Gently. reports the bureau of biological
survey, of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Eelgrass has in
the past regained its abundance after
similar shortages.
In some parts of its range from
Labrador to North Carolina, the eel
grass apparently disappeared during
1881 and 1882, ard in other sections
the supply dwindled seriously. Eff
fects of this shortage on wild fowl,
however, have not been so severe as
was feared, the birds having turned
to some extent to other sources of
food. Brant populations may have
been reduced by decreases in the num-
Der of young raised the last two sum-
mers, but adults wintering in most
parts of the eastern seacoast this year
are in "fair to good" condition.
Because of the great Importance of
eelgrass to wild fowl. the biological
survey and the Canadian National
parks branch have both made studies
of the shortage, but the cause has not
yet been determined. These agencies
are charged with the protection of
waterfowl in accordance with the
migratory bird treaty between the
the United States and Great Britain.

Modern Demand for Speed Puts End
to Leisurely Travel by Steamboat

Lovers of leisurely travel cannot
read without sigh of The evil days
upon which the steamboat has fallen,
the steamboat whose traffic was for
so long indispensable to the pros
perity of the country's inland water
ways. 1t is only little while since
a newspaper paragraph recorded the
financial distress of the Hudson River
night line, and now we read that the
day line, which has made the lowell
ness of the Hudson and of the Rip
Van Wrinkle country familiar to gen.
erations of tourists, is in the same
plight-sunk in debt. That, too, is
the story of the famous Lake Cham
plain line which for 100 years has
been carrying passengers and freight
between Ticondercga and Burlington.
The automobile has left these once
profitable enterprises with only the
bare bones of traffic. Our age de-
mands the service of speed, and the
steamboat which 60 years ago, sur
passed our grandsires' childhood
dreams of all that was imaginable
in rapid and luxurious travel, is now
looked upon as conveyance fit only
for old fogies and slowpokes.
Yet nothing in the rocket-Hight of
the automobile can make up to some
of us for the comparatively deliber-
ate journeying by steamboat, for the
slow unfolding of the landscape from
her deck as she moves with hardly
perceptible sound or motion, calmly,
restfully, from one landing place to
another. 1t is a rare automobile trip
that can afford us those vistas and
reaches that open to us as we thread
the Highlands of the Hudson in a
steamboat; we cannot in a car get
a close view of the isles in Lake
Georges crystal waters or take in

Warns Farmers to
Test Seed Supply
Five Suggestions Offered by
U. S. Department of
Agriculture.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture gives farmers and seed
dealers five suggestions for protecting
themselves in the purchase of seed.
With the need for economy greater
this year than ever, the department
offers these pointers to help farmers
make sure that the seed they get will
grow. The department administers
the Federal Seed Act, which forbids
the sale of fraudulently misbranded
seed in interstate commerce.
The five protective pointers are:
l. Buy seed early enough to allow
for testing at home or at the state seed
laboratory before planting.
2. Insist on a statement of the ger
mination and the date tested. The
test date should be within two months
of the date of purchase, because some
seeds fall off in termination rapidly.
8. Where variety is important, in
sist on a statement as to variety by
the seller. or state certification.
4. Make sure of the quality of seed,
particularly that offered at abnormally
low prices.
5. Save all tags, invoices, advertise
ments and correspondence about the
seed and report anything wrong to the
state seed Office.
The department reports the case of
q Midwestern farmer as an example
of what not to do. He bought mix
ture of alfalfa and clover seed from
a distant seed house. The seller as
serted that the seed, one-third alfalfa
and two-thirds red clover, was high in
termination. The farmer complained
that he did not get single alfalfa
plant. Late in the simmer the case
was reported to the state officials.
Some remaining seed was tested and
found of poor quality, but it was too
late for anything to be done. Testing
of the seed before planting could have
prevented the partial crop failure, the
department says. The department
urges reporting sales of misbranded
seed to state authorities.

Agricultural Hints

There are 1850 vocational agricul-
ture schools in the United States en-
ploying 5000 teachers.
Twenty million pounds of wool were
shipped through the port of Port
land during the past year.
Remove diagonal rows of trees in
crowded orchards, poor varieties, and
high, old trees to save fertilizer. spray,
and pruning costs; and have some
cheap fuel.

a season, with some fruit measuring
ten inches In circumference, grows on

Government support of wheat farm
ers has caused an increase of so per

lands.
A high quality of starch is extracted
from sweet potato culls, which ordi-
narily make up from 10 to so per cent
of the entire crop.

Heavy Pigs Grow Faster

The birth weight of pigs has an i'm
portant bearing on the gains they
make in weight for the first six
months, the United States Department
of Agriculture found after observing
1929 hogs at its experiment station at
Miles City, Mont, during the five-year
period, beginning in 1927 and ending
in 1881.
The department found that the pigs
varied in weight at birth from one and
half pounds to four pounds, with
most of them weighing from two and
a half to three pounds.

on this feature.
Egan also said that amendments

senate will reduce all fees. will pro-
vide for transfer of franchise rights,
and will prevent brewers from hav-

This last amendment, Egan said,

retailers or from having any interest
in real estate occupied by retailers,
as formerly practiced by breweries
and wholesalers in pre- Volstead
