Wet May and June
Making Serious
Problem For Farms

After an unusually dry winter
and early spring, with gardens too
hard to plough or plant, the skys
opened and for the past four to
five weeks, the precipitation has
been so heavy that those who had
been able to work up the dry soil
and plant seeds, have had the dis
appointment of seeing their labors
drown in the heavy rainfall. June
really floated into the county, with
% days of rain in May.
There has been no danger to
the wheat as yet as maturity has
not been reached. However, ac-
cording to County Agent o. w.
Anderson, the corn crop is in a
critical condition as many farmers
have not been able to plant; the
early hay crop is beginning to
show effects of too much rain,
although the pastures are in fine
shape.
With clearing skys and stiff
northwest breezes which have
started a drying-of process, farm
ers and gardeners are hoping for q
chance to work the latter part of
the week.

Council OF Churches
To Raise Funds For
JapaneSe University

The Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America is sDonsoring
the project of raising $10,000,O00
through the churches of the United
States and Canada to establish the
international Christian University
at Mitaka, Japan. The Japanese
have raised 150,OOO,C00 yen toward
this project and have purchased
$50 acres, II miles from Tokyo as
the prospective campus site. 99a6
of this fund raised by the Jap
anese, has been contributed by
non-Christians.
The churches of America have
been asked to contribute the means
by which buildings can be erected
and the faculty maintained. Pres.
Hachiro Yuasa and his faculty
hope to open the doors to students
in April of 1851.
AS an objective to helping in
this work, the East Montgomery
County Council of Churches is ask
ing the cooperation of county
churches by having World Service
and Christian Education Commit
tees make a canvass of local COM
munities aiming toward a worthy
goal by October /, 1850. This OBJ
jective will be over and above the
local church budget 1t was ex-
planned.

 ON MAYORS MEETING

 MT. Jones stated that the organ ization is planned to form a group similar to those in 38 States for we'll organized and planned pro- grams for presentation to the lekN islature and is known in the States as the League of Municipalities. Twenty-nine resolutions were adopted, he reported, some of which are appropriate to Nome at this time and all the others ap- plicable as Nome grows and meets up with other problems now conz fronting the larger towns in the Territory.
 Of immediate importance he felt that the clarification of sales tax and a basic valuation of as- sessment and appraisal of proper ty to be most valuable to Nome as well as general building code for the Territory.
 In the discussion of communi- cations MT. Jones raised the ques- ton of why 98% of Alaskan roads are owned by the Federal Govern ment and why the same percent age was not applied in getting funds to develop the roads in this part of the Territory.
 A full report of the meeting will be given at the next meeting of the City Council.
