DOCS DISCUSSED BY COUNCILMEN, CHIEF H0FFM M AN
Scores of Unlicensed Can ines at Large in City,
 Some Vicious

The dog population of Juneau was discussed at considerable length at the first May meeting of the City Council last night by the Council and Chief of Police Roy Hoffman.
 "The dogs here are getting out of control" Chief Hoffman said They are worse than the wolf packs in the interior"
 Loose dogs roaming the streets of Juneau, he said, have become a decided nuisance, and are menace to automobile traffic. He stated that about twice week the Police De- partment is called upon to remove a dead dog, killed by traffic, from the street. Many citizens have com plained about vicious dogs, he said.
 Mayor I. Goldstein mentioned magazine article which referred to Juneau as "T'he Dog City" and re- ported that 150 dog licenses were issued last year; which, Chief Hoff man stated, is small percentage of the total number of dogs in Juneau.
 It was agreed by the Council that something must be done to abate the dog nuisance, and it was sug- gested that an ordiance be passed, similar to the one in effect in Ketchikan, compelling people through suitable penalties to keep their dogs off the streets except when on leash. The proposed ordi- nance was tabled until the next meeting of the City Council, to be held on May Is.

Best Varieties for Southern Garden
New Kinds and Strains Recently Tested
for Adaptations in the South


N THE Carolinas, with wide range
of soils from mountains to seacoast
and varying climatic conditions, the
home garden can be made the most prof
liable acre on the farm.
Since vegetables differ so much in
their adaptability to varying soil and
seasonal conditions, what is best for one
kind of soil would not be best for an
other. Judgment must be used in select
ing varieties that have given greatest
performance in tests and offer greatest
promise in actual practice.
From data accumulated on tests con-
Quoted in several Southern states, certain
results and trends are reported regarding
varieties and strains. Below are given
facts about newer kinds to help answer
the oft-repeated question: "What variety
is best to plant?'
Snap Bean Varieties
Reports from several states show that
the Bountiful variety of snap bean is
still the leader in many trucking sections.
This variety is very productive and does
we'll as fall bean.
Tendergreen, round podded, nearly
straight, stringless, high quality snap
bean, seems very promising. The Asgrow
Valentine is being adopted in Virginia
and South Carolina as very early bean.
The Konserva, David Sacks, is bean
of high quality and medium yields.
The Asgrow Wonder bean is uniform
in color and we'll shaped. The grow
ers are favorably impressed with this
variety in South Carolina.
Improved Carrots
The Red-Cored Chantenay Carrot is
a distinct improvement III interior color
over the old Chantenay type and is pop

has a shorter top but longer root than
