A WORTHWHILE UNDERTAKING.

 The Legislators coming to the biennial session in Juneau of course rule fairly conversant with the major problems of their own particular divisions but for the rest of the Territory they be guided to large degree by the lawmakers representing those sections, and, swayed in some instances by special groups which may be directly promoting special cause If vital problem up during the 60-day session. time and distance often makes it al- most impossible to get and complete expression from the people in the district which may be effected and the Legislators put in the position of struggling through the best they with meager information and hopeful that they may be doing the best thing for Alaska Those familiar with legislative work have seen committees delay for weeks while effort being made to get complete facts some proposed bit of legislation.
 Under Judge Truitts plan chambers of commerce civic organizations and others who may express true sentiment of the community being asked to express themselves what laws they propose which now on the statute books they believe should be changed or entirely repealed and invited to offer other gesons matters effecting the welfare the Ter ritory. This information the Attorney General will present to the lawmakers in full when they convene next January for such they fit to make of it.
 Meeting the Legislature does every two years usually with great number of changes in member ship the work Judge Truitt is doing should prove of great help to the lawmakers and ultimately to every person in Alaska

Soil Conservation
Payments in Ashe
Are Fixed at $50
Rates Based on Productivity of
Soil-Depleting Crops in
Each County

The average rate of the soil-con-
serving payment in Ashe county un-
der the 1896 farm program has been
fixed at $50 per acre, according to
Dean I. o. Schaub, of State College.
Alleghany's rate will be $500;
Wilkes, $500; and Watauga, $500.
Z This rate applies to> general soil
depicting crops other than cotton,
tobacco, and peanuts, the dean said,
and will vary with individual farms.
The general rate for each county
has been determined according to
the average productivity of general
soil-depleting crops in that county.
The rate for an individual farm
will be above or below the county
rate in the same proportion that the
productivity of general soil-deplet-
ing crops on the farm is above or be-
low the county average.
The general productivity of each
farm will be based upon the average
past yields of soil-depleting crops
other than cotton, tobacco, and pea
nuts.
For tobacco and cotton the rate of
payment has been fixed at five cents
a pound on the average tobacco and
cotton yields of the farm. The rate
for peanuts is l. Ia cents pound.
The soil-conserving payment will
be made for shifting land from soil
depicting into soil-conserving crops
this year.
A farmer who takes high produc-
tive land out of cash crops and puts
it into soil-conserving crops is max
ing bigger sacrifice than the farm
er whose land is low in productivity.
For this reason, the dean explain
ed, the rates of payment have been
based on the productivity of the
land.

erS.

made his home here, and it is learn
ed that he plans to again establish
his residence in the city.
