Plant Sudan Grass For Midsummt
Use

Sudan grass can be seeded for pas
turing during the summer months
when permanent pastures are not so
productive.
When seeded on a well-prepared
bed, thirty pounds of seed are us
ually sufficient for an acre. Cen
orally, grazing can be started within
five. or six weeks after seeding, or
any time after the plants are from
8 to IL inches high.
However, it is not necessary that
grazing be started SO early, since the
most common practice is keeping cat
tie off the Sudan until permanent
pastures decline in production.
Livestock should be alternated be-
tween two fields of Sudan or one
Sudan and one lespedeza field.
Sudan grass also makes a good hay
crop. In this section it will furnish
from two to three cuttings of good
hay.

ALASKA'S COLORFUL HISTORY

Most of us had forgotten all about La Perouse, the French explorer until picture out of the past brought back to mind this week the chapter he con- tributed to Alaskas history
 The lovely old etching which Frank Heintzleman found in San Francisco which had made it's way there by way of France and England in the l50 years since 1t was executed by forgotten French artist, shows the blue and pearl uniforms of the old world-old in point of both time and distanceaganst the perpen- dcuar white mountains of Southeast Alaska It's scene few men in actuality but which the artist has recaptured in all it's colorful majesty
 La Perouse. Commander of the French navy, was commissioned by his Government to make three-year voyage of discovery around the world file for France few claims to territory such as the sea dogs of England were establishing as basis for empire. La perouse's ships the Astroabe and the Boussole tthe sextant and the compassl skirted the shore of the Gulf of Alaska in June 1786 They discovered land- locked bay Lituya protected from the sea by two narrow low-lying peninsuas clothed in grass and the white blossoms of millions of strawberry plants Through the narrow entrance, which IS still at all times but slack tide terror to navgators, the two ships were drawn rresistably by the current When the ships were still mile away the 20foo tide Of the region rushing in through the entrance had made maelstrom of the short narrow channel. The pull on the vessels was great they were unable to sail out Of the current WIn no more StebIdSt pOlupl if they had been logs on swift river in flood stage. the Astrolabe and Boussoe were swept through into Lituya Bay unharmed
 "In my 30 years of navigation" La Perouse wrote in his journal, T never saw two ships so near de- struction"
 Recovering his composuIt, tne commander like everyone else who has this bay went into ecstases over it's beauty He described it in his journal as the most marvellous place in the world" The small bay, two by six miles in dimension has water extremely deep bright green in color and as smooth as sheet of glass Around the head of the bay rears mountain range of five or six icecovered peaks reaching eleva- tons of 12O0O feet almost directly from level and piling up finally into the mountain now known as Fairweather 15300 feet high Two great glaciers reach tidal water at the head of the bay.
 La Perouse was afraid, even after six weeks of waiting for the caest tides to take his ships back through the terrifying gate His geographers and sailors made survey of the bay, leaving chart which incidentally is the still in use The scene

as three of his small boats attempted to chart the perlous entrance is the etched by the French ar tist from the description in La Perouse's journal Sucked into the current of the boats with 2l men were lost The third which experienced officer had turned about in time and set his men to rowing hard against the current passed safely through the entrance and for two miles to with the outgoing tide
 In memory of the lost seamen and officers La Per ouse erected wooden the little island in the bay buryng at it's foot bottle with description of the catastrophe and brass disc engraved with the names of his vessels and the date of his visit July 3 1786 The disc and bottle have never been found.
 Luckily La Perouse sent back to France with an- other captain the journal with its account of the discovery of Lituya Bay for after entering the Indian Ocean their way around the world from Alaska, both the Astroabe and Boussole were lost
 The visit of La Perouse has left its mark upon Alaska The island on which he erected the cross and buried the disk was named Cenotaph Island We find in the vicinity of Ltuya Bay a mountain and glacier called La Perouse and point named Astro- abe
 Alaska has a colorful history. One of it's most remarkable stories is that of La Perouse at Ltuya Bay.

The World Series

 Superior artillery won the world series.

It is pleasant report that they received generous terms from the victors and will doubtless play again next year.
 Perhaps the series lacked excitement The relent- less march of the conquerors bit too monoto- nous Nevertheless the contest had it's spectacular moments Brother Begers historic toss to the wrong base in the opener will be debated for years to come in the Hot Stove League. And four homers in the third game should be enough to satisfy any group of fans This world series had to compete with world war It managed nevertheless, to maintain it's hold on the front page.
 For the Yankees it was unique victory. No team baseball history has before captured it's fourth straight series Probably some day the irresistible force will meet the mmovabe body. This, alas! was not the Cincinnati Reds. But they can count it as something to have battled such foe

WEDNESDAY. OCToRER 25


 Conflicting planetary influences are active today, but the benefic as poets dominate over adverse signs. The morning is promising for re- tail merchants and especially for those who deal in foodstuffs. There is an i'll omen for women who may have difficulty in dealing with their employees. Lawyers will profit great ly through cases of national inter est. The stars today encourage don1- ineering or dictatorial efforts by po- litical or labor leaders.
 Heart and Home: Women are un- der adverse sway today and should subordinate their ambitions to pub lie service. Current events prove that it is still a mans world and that women can not yet hope to direct matters of supreme importance in the advancement of humanity. The stars seem to presage final battle which will destroy the best in mod ern civilization.
 Business Affairs: Trade and con- merce appear promising, but there may be slow collections. The trend will be toward reckless spending under the unrecognized feeling that t is best to live for today since the future seems to be so threatening One of the signs of the times in he realm of buying and selling will De a demand fer art objects and pictures, books and tapestries. As evil portents multiply lovers of beauty will seek to satisfy their de- ire for possessions, even though hey may have only temporary joy n them.
 National Issues: Young men and women of fine talents and good edu- ,ation will find many opportunities or training that requires special technical skill. Offices under the Federal government will be open to hose who represent the highest deals of patriotic service. Writers who are linguists will be needed for ,adio scripts, it is forecast The war lf words will be more far-reaching han that of guns.
 International Affairs: Russia, af- 'licted by a threatening Neptune, nay be difficult to deal with. The planetary influences tend toward propaganda and secret work to pro- luce chaotic conditions in other na ions. In case of the Soviet govern nent becoming an ally there is Hanger from the unseen forces that nave been active in many countries. Tn other words, the ally would be llso the enemy who has fostered rebellion against existing forms of 'uling.
 | Persons whose birthdate it is have
 he augury of year of romance and general good fortune. Industry and
 initiative probably will bring about advancement in business or profess | ,ional work t5# Children born on this day prob | ably will be reticent and modest, out extremely emotional. These sub iects of Scorpio may be very indi- Jidual and capable of unusual devel- Jpment. Ast Copyright, 1939)
