THE REPORT FROM HOMER.

The little but rapidly growing community of Homer over on Cook Inlet, is fine example of the potential agricultural possibilities of Alaska. George Woodruff rancher of that district who is in Juneau route to the States reports that in the last two years the population of the community has doubled and that more families are coming from the South on their personal initiative to join the settlement. He points out that crops such oats barley, rye, potatoes timothy and clover are raised successfully in the district and that with improved transporta- ton livestock become a paying proposition
 The achievement at Homer is typical of what can be done in the Territory by way of supporting a larger population the primary need if Alaska is to go ahead to it's rightfu heritage There hundreds of such places that could be developed in the 600000 square miles of the northland if proper encouragement is given.
 As we strive toward greater development of our mineral wealth and other natural should not overlook such possibilities evinced by the report from Homer Alaska may never become a great agricultural district such of the Middle Western States, but it can become in large measure self supporting by leaving stone unturned in promoting every sound effort for rural expansion.

A Word of Caution.
(New York world-Telegram0

Scientists of the Department of Agriculture have undertaken to bring the turkey into line with the size and capacity of the modern city apartment kitchen.
 Embarking upon ambitious breeding program, they hope to evolve such changes in shape that sixteen-pound specimen can be roasted in an oven which would take only an eight or ten-pounder of the present model. "The more get this turkey to look like duck" say the innovators "the better will like it."
 They propose, in nautical terms, to ship the tur- keys centerboard increase his beam and put on a greater cargo of white meat without increasing the over all measurements.
 We confess to conservative qualm at the sugges- ton. The turkeys shape is rather mmateral, but we'd like a guarantee that change will stop there. If the turkey is made to look like duck whats to prevent his tasting like backbone and spare ribs? Many a family, as Thanksgiving Day approaches, would prefer to take chances its historic feast

not assert or assume that this incident
is typical. He suggested it may have
been due In part Ito the bravado of
youth" He added. however. that it
may shed some light ''on some Of the
by-products" of the relief situation.

kind cited, but added, Il should not
