SUGGESTIONS ON GARDENING
 IN S.E:. ALASKA
Director of Extension Old- royd Gives Timely lips
 to Residents

The tourist who visits Alaska al- ways talks about her fine vegetable gardens, her remarkable flowers and her wonderfully large and de- lcious strawberries. They have seen them in Southeast Alaska, says Lorin T. Oldroyd, Director of Ex- tension, University of Alaska.
 Most any of the hardy vegetables do well in Southeast Alaska. Al gardens should produce beets, cab bage, cauliflower, carrots, lettuce onions, peas, potatoes, radishes, rut- abagas, Swiss chard, turnips, par snips, celery and number of other vegetables. Then, of course, there should be strawberries, raspberries entrants, and rhubarb. A small gar den will produce sufficient vege- tables for the family all summer and enough can be canned and stored to last most of the winter. Just a small garden will produce more than S100 worth of vegetables.
 Garden Plot
 LOCATION: The garden plot should be located on slope fac ing the south It should be well drained. A black, sandy loam soil is most desirable.
 FERTILIZER: Barnyard manure is one of the best and most economi- cal fertilizers for the garden. You will also get excellent results from the use of fish fertilizer which is a product of Alaska. Scatter the fertilizer on the soil before it is plowed or spaded.
 PREPARING SEED BED: Young plants need a fine, well prepared seed bed. When the ground is ir good condition to work, the garden plot should be either plowed ol spaded to depth of about inches While the top soil is still moist, il should be carefully raked and made level.
 About Seeds
 SEEDS: Good seed can usually be secured in any general store. Po- tato seed should be treated, cut and then placed in warm place where the sun can shine on it fol about two weeks. When the sprouts are about two inches long, the seeo may be planted. Be careful not tc break the sprouts off.
 Cabbage and cauliflower should be sown in a window box early en- ough so that they will be two oi three inches high by the time al danger of frost is past. Then they should be transplanted into the gar den.
 TREATING SEED POTATOES, For small amounts of seed potato seed disolve three ounces of mer- curic chloride Corrosive Sublimate) in one pint of water and add this tC 12 gallons of water. Allow the po- tato seed to remain in this solution for thirty minutes. Treat seed pota- toes before cutting them. Use z wooden vessel for the solution. Cor rosive sublimate is not injurious t( the hands. If taken inwardly, it i: poisonous to both humans and live. stock. Be careful.
 ANTIDOTE: Use large quantit. ies of milk, whites of eggs and lard
 About Cut10ormS
 CUTWORMS: If you find plant which are cut off just above tn, ground, watch for cutworms. Yol will usually find a smooth, soft bodied worm curled up, near tn, injured plant just beneath the to] soil.
 Method of control: 1 quart o bran, l heaping teaspoonful 0 white arsenic or Paris Green, teacupful of molasses, 1 1-2 quart of water. Mix the water, molasse and arsenic together and then sti it thoroughly into the bran. Scatte

they took few deep breaths.
Geographic Society's Report.
Discovery of new ceiling of the
world, Smile thick layer Of
atmosphere about II miles above the
earth's surface. was announced here
yesterday by the National Geographic
Society in an exhibit prepared for the
American Association for the Ad-
vanoement Of Science.
In this narrow band Of attenuated
air, three things reach their greatest
intensity, decreasing above and below:
First, the intensity Of cosmic rays.
mysterious radiation particles shot
into the earth's atmosphere with
energies of billions of volts from the
vast spaces beyond the stars.
Second, the protecting layer of
ozone gas, form of oxygen, which
shields the face of the planet from q
bombardment Of ultraviolet light
from the sun which probably would
mean the determination of all living
things.
Third, the electrical conductivity,
or ionization, of their air.
The discovery was made by exami-
nation and correlation Of the data
gathered during the society's STRAIT
osphere flight last November.
Beginning Of Ceiling.
The ceiling begins, the records show
at approximately 10% miles and ex-
tends roughly to 1871 miles, the high
est point reached by the balloon. In
this region the number of cosmic rays
recorded by instruments is 81 times
the number at sea level. because they
are augmented by the secondary rays
shot out when the primary rays
strike atoms Of the air gases. Below
this height the air is SO much thicker
1t absorbs many Of them.
The air is approximately 81 times
better as a conductor Of electricity
than at sea level. This is correlary
to the fact that the cosmic rays are
tearing electrons of so many atoms of
the gases, thus changing their elec-
trical charge and making them elec-
trically conducting.
The society also presented evidence
gathered from the stra ratosphere flight
that extreme cold may have played a
part in evolution. Dr. Victor Jollos
of the University of Wisconsin sent
aloft number Of fruit flies, favorite
animals Of the experimental biologists,
to see whether the increased intensity
of cosmic radiation bombarding them
at high attitudes would result In
changes in their offspring. A fire.
quently advanced theory is that mu-
tations from species to species in the
scale Of life may have been produced
by cosmic rays striking the genes In
the germ cells.
Adult Flies Die.
The cold in the stratosphere was Sc
great, however. that all the adult
flies died. But the eggs and larvae

They allowed five times q high . rate
Of mutation. or change, - did the
offspring Of flies remaining In the
laboratory. Ths number Of such
mutations which possibly could be
produced BY . certain intensity Of
cosmic ray bomhardment Of germ
cells can be mathematically calcu-
lated. This was far beyond what was
possible from the four.hour exposure.
The only explanation Is that the genes
were altered by the extreme tempera-
ture. All the mutations produced
were such as resulted in the death or
serious disablement Of the animals.
An important result of the obser-
vations was the determination that the
composition Of the air Is slightly dif-
ferent at high attitudes. There IL
more nitrogen and less oxygen, but
the difference u less than had been
predicted.
