CABBAGE seen.
AS Big Cash.
CROP IN E.N.C.'
Niswonger Says Crop Here
Now Pointed to as Model
In Other Areas

In a number of Western North
Carolina communities, farmers are
building up a cabbage growing
industry that promises to become
one of their main sources of cash
income, says the Extension Farm
News, issued at Raleigh.
So successful have they been,
said Fl. r. Niswonger, extension
horticulturiSt, that hter crop IS
now pointed to sa model for
other growers.
About five years ago, ne went
on, quarter of pound of Dan
ish Ball Head cabbage seed was
introduced TO farmers in the
Scaley section of Macon county.
The strain is well adapted to the
area, and is in strong market de
mand.
More and more farmers began
to use the seed until this year
400 pounds of Danish Ball Head
seed were distributed to over 100
farmers in that section and near
by communities.
Niswonger also pointed out that
demonstrations in cultural and
fertilization practice conducted
by the extension service have
greatly increased the quality and
the yield of the cabbage crop.
Formerly the plants were set
Is inches apart in the rows and
fortified with 1000 pounds OF a
5-7-5 mixture to the acre. The
plants are now set Y to Ii IN
ches apart and fortified with 600
pounds of a 1856 mixture, plus
side-dreSSing of nitrate of soda
three to four weeks after the
plants have been set. !
The ne wstrain of cabbage and
the better cultural practices IN
creased the yield by 5000 to 1000
pounds per acre. Then. too, the
growers save the difference in
cost between 1000 pounds of $50
and 500 pounds of 1856.
There is strong demand for
this cabbage, as buyers like the
small, compact, heavy heads, Ms
wonger added.
Similar results have been OBJ
tanned in Jackson, Avery, Watau-
ga, Allegheny, Ashe, Henderson
and Pennsylvania counties.

FARM RECORDS.

Business, Is View
BY D. w. BENNETT
Assistant County Agent

Of all the tasks on the farm,
there is none so unpleasant to the
average farmer as keeping rec
or&s on his farm business. Prob
ably that is the reason why so few
systematic records are kept. Rec
ords on the farm business are just
as important as they are in any
other business. Suppose the manu-
facturer and merchant did not
keep q systematic record of his
business? At the end of the year,
he would not know where he stood.
The same is true of the farmer.
Competition in farming is beCom-
ing more keen every year. There
fore, there is more reason why
more business be put into farming

regions of shorter growing seasons
fewer outdoor crops would be the
rule. Heating of the water in the
basins and seclusion in green
houses would, of course, make it
possible to produce crops the en-
tire year.
DR., Gericke says that his tests
to date have revealed that none
of the cereals, such as barley or
wheat, or forage crops can be
raised by his process to compete
on the market with soil-grown
crops. The expense Of the chemi!
Gals is too great. In the case of
potatoes, tomatoes and so on, the
chemical expense is but a small
fraction of the cost of the crop.

Plants May Be Grown Out
of Season in Warmed
Water, or Out of Doors in
Chimes Normal to Them
By HARRY rs. NELSON
From the weekly magazine sec
ton of the Christian Science
MOnitOr)

Mans dependence on the soil
for the production of crops is now
challenged, as result of a series
of experiments being conducted
on the campus of the University
of California at Berkeley. The
results so far achieved show that,
in the future, man may produce
an abundance of certain kinds Of
foodStuffs by what may be called
a synthetic process.
The process evolved consists of
growing fruits, vegetables and
flowers in a nutrient liquid cul-
ture media. The experiments have
been under way now for some
nine years and have reached a
stage where such foods as tOma-
toes, Strawberries, onions, pota-
toes, cabbages-in fact all plants
high in water, sugar and starch
content-can be produced to COM
pete on the market with soil
grown crops. Not only that, but
crops can be raised in far greater
quantities that would be possible
on a given soil area, and in many
instances are superior to those
grown in the orthodox fashion.
The process was conceived by
DR.. w. F. Gericke, of the univers-
ity's agricultural experiment sta
ton. It's value lies in its simple
ity. 1t consists of the use of a ba-
sin constructed of concrete, wood
or metal. This basin is about'six
inches in depth, and may be of
any suitable area.
Over the top of this basin is
stretched wire screen and on top

NICKEL ORE TO BE DEVELOPED
 AT sNIPE BAY PROPERTY

If present assays substantiate previous reports. tn e Veyelstad Nickel properties on the southern end of Baranof Islant will be pro ducing 3O.O00 tons of ore per month, according to the Petersburg Press.
 Carl Yeyelstad was in Peters. burg over the weekend and said that samples of ore taken by Ture Haglund and Dr Eric Hoegheb, Swedish mining experts, were sent to Fairbanks last week 10 be as saved. The Swedish teehnologists arrived in Sitka two weeks ago after travelling from their native land in ten days.
 Mr Vevelstad reported that Ger man capital will largely finance operations if the findings of the Swedish specialists are favorable. A half million dollars worth of ma chinery is said to be in the process of assembly in the states to take out 30.000 tons of ore a month in quarry operations
 Only one other known deposit of nickel exists on the North Amer ican continent, located at Sudbury, Ontario. and owned by the Inter national Nickel Corp. at present in control of the world production of the metal The Snipe Bay ore yields three fourths per cent higher than the Sudbury deposit

 Thirty-four years in Purgatory and 38 years in the Yukon Valley is the experience of a man who walks the streets of Fairbanks to- Cay-a guest of the city for a few days. Silver haired, wearing a gray moustache and a goatee, and a sombrero-standing a little below the medium stature, yet stoeky, firm of muscle and of stride, Will liam Yanert. the man from Purga- tory, is one of the most eolorful figures in Alaska.
 Purgatory, where Yanert has spent the last 34 years, is on the right limit of the Yukon river on high cut bank of the great stream. Back of it stretches an in- terminable sweep of low flat land clad only with small trees, and tundra. There at the bend in the river-not unlike a thousand other such places on the great water course, Yanert lives alone - with his nearest neighbor up river seven miles away and the nearest down 25 miles distant. Purgatory is be- tween Fort Yukon and Beaver.
 "I am there because I love the solitude" says Yanert. I am so iso- lated I seldom ever get a news paper, and as I do not pick up the radio we'll, reading is my comfort and 1 enjoy it."
 MT. Yanert was asked by a Fair banks friend to go riding in an au- tomobile. No. l take no chances in riding in such apparent mech anical monsters" was his reply.
 At Purgatory Mir Yanert has car ried out the popular conception of Purgatory with imagery of his own making, which has become famed among tourists up and down the Yukon. When the occasional steam CT approaches there in summer Yanert puts on his free show By a clever arrangement of ropes and wires attached to figures he has carved and set up near his cabin an unique exhibition. Devils, skull and cross bones and other strange figures rise and fall, wig-wag and dance before the amazed strangers. while horns blow and COW bells rattle and other uncanny devices emit their unusual sounds.
 T first put on the show for n joke" says Yanert, "and HOW the people coming that way expect the show-so try not to disappoint them"
 Since coming into the North land as in earlier days, MT. Yan- ert has won recognition in more ways than one. He mapped Cook Inlet and a portion of the Tanana Valley-and a number of places Fre named for him. There is Yaa- art River, Yanert Lake, and Yan- ert Mountain-and on the Alaska Railroad is station named Yan- ert.
 Purgatory, Alaska, however, was named by MT. Yanert,, himself. In telling of his reason for giving the place that name, he explains:

THE ALASKA MELODRAMA

The following review of J. A. Hellenthal's new book, "The AL askan Melodrama,' was written by Judge James Wickersham, pioneer student of Alaska history and own CT of the largest library in the north on Alaska affairs:
 "A colorful and well written book about Alaska. by an Alaska author, is not offered to Alaska readers every day. and when such a happy event occurs such a one deserves a fair review.
 "John A. Hellenthal-'Jack' to all his numerous and intimate friends is one of the most ac- complished scholars and successful lawyers in Alaska, where he has been prominent in public affairs for more than third of a century His long residence in the Territory, his wide acquaintanceship with its public men and public affairs, It's mining and fisheries and all it's varied and valuable resources, and his wide command of good English and brilliant ideas, marks his book as a real contribution of value to the Territory. It Is widely descrip- tive of the scenic beauty of his homeland, gives the inquiring real CT a careful study of it's past his torical growth and hopeful promise of it's future development. His wise philosophical criticisms of It's legis- latiYe structure will encourage and assist our public officials in the ing a great new American state out of the rough but rich Territory of Alaska.
 "As you read of it's many brigh1 chapters, if you happen to know the author, every tone of his voice and every peculiarity of his rapi speech will be reproduced in your imagination, and will add to the pleasure of the thought expressed in his words. An inner sense of television will reflect the merry twinkle of his eyes. You will s4a the forward thrust of his half burn ed cigarette as he marks the good natured but always logical point of his flashing argument-in short, there is personality in every line of his book.
 "The members of the Bar Associa- tion who know the author intimate ly, however, wonder where he gets the idea the book constituted a 'melodrama.' It is Alaska drama, of course, but we cannot imagine him singing it. Anyway, "The Alaska Melodrama' is a first class Alaska book, and ought to be in every Alaska library where good, reading history, philosophy and the growth of Alaska and its affairs are ap- preciated. We recommend it to AL aska readers, to all newspapers and the higher classes In our public schools"

out blame. although 1t is an open question whether he should do so if the four heart contract is redou- bled, for, while his hand is trick less, the opposing bidding suggests freakish distribution of ct least the West hand.
 When West refuses to pass thre0 spades. there is no other course for East than to bid four hearts. South's double is based on the traditional acc-king. ace and ace, but. as can be seen, it isn't enough.
 Distribution kills the value of the ace of spades. With spade open ing five can be made, as one dia- mond loser can be discarded by West.
 A really conservative South play- or would not double four hearts. but would leave the final decision to North. Then, if East and West no to five hearts, perhaps north might find an opening other than e spade--a diamond for instance and defeat the contract Of five. lCopyrlght. 1886. NEA Service, Incl

Sometimes 1t is difficult for Q bridge player, holding 6 lot Of high cards, to give up the idea that he holds the attacking hand, and to assume tho role of defender.
 "Why, I held ace-king, acc and ace" Is one of the oft-heard cxpla- nations given for a double which results disastrously, but these tragic results usually follow. because the hold of "rock-crusher" has never been able to get over the feeling of mastery which was his when he first glanced at his cards.
 Today's hand, dealt in 6 nine ta- bie duplicate game, is a case in point. At seven tables, West made five hearts, being doubled at four. At one table West went to five hearts and was defeated because of the choice of an opening lead, and at the remaining table. South played the hand at four spades doubled, and went down three tricks for Q loss of 800 points.
