COLD STORAGE WILL ENLARGE TO MILLION LBS

Capacity of the Wrangell Cold Storage is to be increased to approx imately a million pounds and work on the new construction is expected to start shortly. it was announced this week by Fl. H. Hungerford, Manager.
 A building 4o by so feet. follow ing the style of the present strue- ture, is to be erected by the Me Cormack Dock Company adjoining the present building just back of the Mccormack ticket office and it will be equipped by the cold stor- age company. IL is hoped to have it in operation by the first of June, Mr. Hungerford said.
 Materials for the structure are leaving Seattle on the Tanana. Leo Mccormack of the Mccormack Dock said. and work will start as soon as the supplies arrive. Work on spring repair of the dock property was started yesterday.
 The present capacity of the cold storage, #3O0.0O0 pounds, will be in creased between 100000 and S00.- 000 pounds. Mr Hungerford said. bringing the total capacity to bet ter than a million pounds.
 The increasing demand for stor- age space coupled with the growing market for frozen fish which is de- celoping in the States makes more cold storage space in the local plant necessary. Mr. Hungerford explain ed. pointing out that it was the hope to develop a substantial bus mess from Wrange1 direct to the frozen fish markets of the middle west.
 When this market is developed 1t will mean a considerably larger in dustry and a substantially larger payroll for this community.
 The eastern seaboard has been de- velopfng the frozen fish market for some time but it is handicapped by lack of raw supply. It has no such salmon and halibut as are found in Alaska and to large extent has been using scrap fish. The local plant. located in the heart of one of the best fishing areas in the Terri tory. will have ready access to raw supply of the highest quality.

The winner-Clark w. Dellinger.

The aOi7ener--ClGrk W. Dellimger.
1t wasn't done with mirrors, that
record-smashing official yield of
1901 bushels Of corn per acre which
made Clark w. Dellinger, Clark
County, Indiana, 1889 national
champion corn producer. The enor-
nous production was the result of
systematic use of the latest and
best growing practices.
The five-acre plot in 14-acre
field on the Ohio River bottom
which Dellinger chose for his crop
was naturally fertile, but it came
long way from the perfection
which he set as his standard. The
land had usually been planted to
corn. Last year he allowed it to
make a tremendous underground,
which was plowed under about nine
inches deep in May. The land was
fitted by two double discings, two
borrowings, and two cultipackings
before planting. Corn of the john
SON County white variety, of his
own growing and selection, was
planted late in May. 1t was rowed
three feet each way, with from two
to three kernels per hill.
Though the land was rich, he
knew that it had been used and
was not up to It's once virgin fer
tility, so he added fertilizer of
0-14-6 analysis, applying it to the
hill at the rate of 1875 pounds per
acre. Six civilizations through the
growing season cleared the way.
H. r. Smalley, Director of Soil
Improvement Work, The National
Fertilizer Association, commenting
on why the corn champion used fer
tilizer on rich soil, said, "Big yields
take fertility from the richest soil. !
The grain alone removed from Del
fingers land $50 pounds of plant
food per acre. A 50-bushel corn
crop, including slower, removes 156
pounds of plant food from the land
So pounds of nitrogen, 20 pounds
of phosphoric acid, and Is pounds
of potash. Return of this plant
food to the soil is essential to con-
tinuing yields"

North Carolina Church
Is Restoring Old Port

Restoration of the quaint old sea-
port of Bath, N. c., is giving to
modern America the haunts Of
Blackboard the pirate, church at
tended by early American colonists
and homes built more than two CEN
turtles ago.
Plans for restoring the historical
village are being pushed by the
Episcopal leaders of the East Caro-
lima diocese. Their interest springs
from the Bath Episcopal church,
built in 1884, and recognized as the
oldest church building in the state
today.
Called 1.-The Cathedral because
it is ruled by the bishop, the build
ing still is in excellent condition
with original handmade doors and
hand-cut wooden pews. 1t is to be
restored and converted into a ma
tional shrine.
A museum will be opened near
the church and the old Marsh house
near by, built in 1714, will be con-
verted into rectory.
Of great interest are the ruins of
an old house near Bath creek where
Edward Blackboard the pi-
rate"-is said to have lived during
his days of power. Ruins of his
ships may be seen there at low
tide.
Bath has grown little since it was
settled a. white men about 1890.
