Sirup Crop Aids Purse

More than 10000 New York state
farms receive about a million dol
lars from the annual maple sugar
crop, says j. f. Davis of the de-
partment of forestry at the New
York State College of Agriculture.
That Is the gross return from about
612,OO0 gallons of sirup and $4,000
pounds of maple sugar; the net
profit, he says, depends on the eff
cheney of the sirup maker and the
quality of his product. One New
York farmer made $50 gallons of
sirup from his 20-acre grove.

Thousands Of acres of drought

RADIO farms need not be counted a
total crop failure if this corn is
stored as winter feed for live stock
in trench silos. Corn which may
have no chance to mature a grain
crop, may be saved at low cost by
packing the whole green stalks In a
trench silo.
A trench silo is a hole or trench
dug in the ground at a convenient
location with plow and scraper. Di-
mensions of a medium sized trench
may be six to eight feet deep, with
sloping sides, about eight feet wide
at the bottom and twelve feet wide
at the top. The length of the silo
will be governed by the amount Of
corn to be stored and the size Of
the live stock herd to be fed.
Whole stalks of corn may be cut
with a sled cutter, mower, or by
hand, and thrown into the trench
while green. Water Is added. espe-
cially near the sides, and the silage
may be packed and cut by driving a
sharp disc harrow over the stalks in
the trench.
The filled trench silo may be
sealed by covering 1t with chaffy
straw which Is wet down, and upon
which a four-inch layer of dirt Is
thrown. Plenty of high quality, juicy
feed for convenient use during Jan
uary storms will result, compared
with very little feed to be gathered
by farm animals II the present crop
of corn is allowed to stand and is
grazed In the field.
Immature sorghums are reported
by some farmers to make silage OF

ghum has an opportunity to head,
the sllage is less sour and of great
er feed value. The greatest feed
value from millet and sudan grass
is believed to be secured by cutting
and curing these crops for hay.

LIFTING THE GOLD EXPORT BAN.

Nothing that the Administration has done in its vast and comprehensive program for national recovery has as much promise in it's success for Alaska as his action in removing the ban against the export of newly mined gold This Territory is prominently a mining country and gold mining today leads all other branches of the industry It's producing mines shave been handicapped by the gold embargo a result of which it not able to find compensation for the burden of increased operating costs that have been brought about by advancing prices of all the commodities it This condi- tion naturally initiated sharply against explora- ton of prospects or prospecting for new deposits of the mineral.

Treasury, United States assay office or Federal Reserve Bank brings $2O67 in cash, as for many years. But $20.67 in cash presented at the Treasury or a Federal Reserve Bank, longer entities the holder to one ounce of pure gold. That is the result of Uncle Sans suspension of gold payments late last April As a matter of fact $2067 will not buy any gold at all now from those institutions.
 On the basis of foreign exchange rates and open market prices for gold abroad it is possible to compute the new price" of gold in United States dollars. It is not far from $50 ounce But up to now there has been large fly in the ointment for American producers They prohibited by Treasury regulations from shipping their product out of the country, and had to take the fixed and artificial price of $2067 an from Government agencies This would not have been so disconcerting except that prices in general have been steadily appreciating since gold payments were suspended, are expected to do so and the gold miner was holding the bag
 No particular benefit to the country obtained by keeping newly mined gold at home. The United States the Treasury has pointed out has no real need for it for monetary It has more than requires. The Administration is seeking to boost prices as well as wages and to promote re-employ- ment. By increasing the floating supply of gold in the world, which will naturally follow the exporta- ton of newly mined gold, 1t will further both of those ends The gold miner, creating wealth, has been penaized for it under the strict embargo, when he was entitled to profit for his labor. And this is what the lifting of the ban will permit.
 It naturally follows that gold mining is now more attractive to capital seeking profitable invest ment than for many years Alaska with it's vast mineral areas, it's known deposits and it's chances for discovering additional ones, stands to benefit very largely from the step

A VOtre Sante!
(New York Herald Tribune

There certainly nothing of the parade ground about French regiment of infantry on the march. It had style of a kind perhaps than any other similar formation in any of the Allied armies But it was the style of men who had inwardly adapted themselves to to such extent that certain formalities of military discipline had long been for gotten: "the chic of the trenches" they them selves named it. Under the long bayonet a French poilu swelled out with extraordinary and seem ingly anarchic growth of equipment handled and disposed you would say according to his taste and his experience-although it may very well have con- formed vigorously to inspection leaving billets. The point is that he seemed to remain indi- vdual person, in the ranks; and yet looked the veteran soldier perhaps than any other troops in the World War
 Amid all that seemingly natural growth of equip ment strung about French soldier on the march felt-covered canteen with curious Stoppered spout and a cup of white metal-a bidon and quart-those who remember their A. E. F. French them still These nseparable from the simple sodat permission, behind the lines, in action and in death. For they were, no doubt, often last comfort the field of battle; some times monument beside scanty remains in No Mans Land.
 Hundreds of thousands of Americans have held that white metal cup = sometimes with a hand slightly unsteady from early experiences of she'll fire-as a Frenchman decanted into it generously from his tre ration of good red wine; and if the hand were still unsteady, heard in a strange lan- guage those beautiful words Have another, Old Limer!" c'Encore autre, Mon Vieux!')
 Recollecting this friendly gesture of well sea- soned veterans to those who were to become such in 1917-18, members of the A. E. F. will be hoping that the 300 representatives of the French armies of 1914-18 now visiting the United States will be snown every courtesy. It would be hard indeed to repay the hospitality of the quart and the bidon.

CANADA'S ROADS, ASK EMPLOYEES
 10 ACCEPT CUT.
Two Canadian Lines Ap- peal to Workers to
 Takes 20%o Cut

MONTREAL, Aug. 31-Follow- ing the decision of union leaders of running trades and telegraphers to take a strike vote and forma- tion of a coalition of representa- tives of all railroad workers to present united opposition to a further 10 per cent wage cut, man. agements of Canadian Pacific Rail- way and Canadian National Rail- ways have appealed directly to all their workers to cooperate in &C., ceptance of the 20 per cent total reduction from basic wage rates during the present critical and un- certain period.
 The statement quotes from de- cision of the Government formed Cancellation Board in favor of the additional pay cut and points cut that gross revenues of the railways have shrunk to less than 50 per cent of the 1929 level and so far in 1893, are 151 per cent under the like 1892 period, despite the recent improvement.
 tIt is true,' says the statement, that during recent weeks there has been some cessation in the drop in traffic compared with the very low figure of 1892. However, some of the prospects are disturbingly uncertain and the railways must deal with actualities. Under such conditions the railways cannot req sonably be expected to pay 90 per cent of the wage rates established practically at the peak of railway and general prosperity. The Can adian railways have to deal with Canadian conditions and it is not possible for them to undertake to adjust wages of Canadian railway employees on a basis of conditions existing in the United States"

THE BEAR CENSUS TEMPEST.

The criticism by John M Hozworth of the bear census figures for Alaska announced recently by the United States Forest Service is wholly uncaled for It is based, apparently, upon the increase Of 150O in the count for 1892 that given for 1881 Biologically MT Holzworth asserted that is i'm possible.
 Had biology played any part in the increased figure he would have been within his rights in attacking the figures But it is well known that the element of natural increase far has not been a factor in game estimates made by the Forest Service These estimates are based upon the observations of Forest Rangers game wardens field men of the Forest Service and other organizations as well as upon the reports of guides, hunters, trappers, prospectors and others whose vacations take them out into the field for large part of the year Constantly new game localities being found older more completely covered so that revision of the figures is possible each year, and the estimates through given period Of time become accurate.
 That is what happened between 1e31 and 1882 The Forest Service and Alaska Game Commission had accumulated more information than had ever been available before 1882 Thus the revised figures represented better picture of the actual bear population of Alaska's National Forests than did those of 1881 The 1881 estimate 5000 and for 1882 it jumped to 4500. The laterfigure, however, is still too conservative if the estimated count of Admiralty Island bears be used for Baranof and Chchagof Islands and other bear areas in the forests MT. Heintzleman, using the Admiralty Island estimate of 900 as a basis for computation has calculated that the total bear population of Southeast Alaska would be about 10800
 MT. Holzworth shouldn't object to that figure. His own estimate for Admiralty Island, which he claims to know well anyone, was first put at 5000, and later reduced to 5000 If that figure be accepted correct, MT. Heintzleman's calcula- tions are over thirds too small and the official Forest Service figure for 1892, more than 250o0 too small.
