Object: Matrimony!

JUNEAU - After reading a newspaper article that Alaska suffered from a lack of women, three girls in Steirmark, Austria, addressed a letter to Gov. Ernest Gruening asking him to find some eligible Alaskan men with whom they could correspond, with matrimony the object.
 All three prefer tall, muscular men. Helga and Hilda like them blond, but Helli requested black k-haired" Alaskan.

We Have 5 Acres
OF Trees
By S. P. LAUBY
Campbell County, Wyoming

MY SISTERS AND 1 homesteaded
here in 1916 and tried off and on to
start trees, such as cottonwood, etc.
They would grow for two or three
years and die, so we had given up
all hopes of planting trees till some
of our neighbors made a nice show
ing.
In the spring of 1885 we sent to
Laramie for trees and planted them
as soon as the weather and ground
permitted and they all grew. We
kept adding till we have five acres
in trees now. The first trees we
planted I staggered the rows, but
/ wish now 1 hadn't done it, as one
cannot cultivate them crossways. The
rest we planted in line both ways,
20 feet apart.
We planted two rows of caragana
on the outside all around the plot,
the next one or two rows of Russian
olive and the rest mostly all Chinese
elms. All the above do well here.
Had quite time with the rabbits
pealing the trees when they were
small, especially the elms, but the
Chinese elm is a great tree to put
out new sprouts. We just left them
grow and in this way the rabbits
only got outside sprouts and left in
ner ones alone. When the trees were
large enough so the rabbits would
not hurt them, we trimmed them
down to where we wanted them.
We always use tandem disk to
cultivate them and this keeps the
ground from getting rigid. I have a
tractor with swing draw bar so I

case cut and tie it for fodder and
run it all thorugh hammermill. I
use it as dry feed. Just fed the last
late in January, so you see how
much hay and grain I saved. It is
never a failure.

The biggest mistake is planting corn

Don't forget corn was raised here

of wheat.

can drive right up to fence and
still be able to get out. Last year I
gave them only two civilizations,
some former years, three. The first
cultivation is made just as soon as
the ground is in good condition Then
I wait till the early weeds show up
and I always try to get them before
they get too large, usually when they
are just two-leafed, as they then kill
out easier. We leave off cultivating
after July, as want to let the trees
go dormant before the frost comes
in the fall.
Our windbreak sure was godsend
to us this winter as 1t kept us from
being drifted under with snow. There
was monstrous snow drift all along
the south, west and north of the
windbreak which would have been
all around the house if we hadn't
had the windbreak.

Dust Controls
Ticks on Sheep
BY ALEX INNES
Campbell County, Wyoming

I BUSTED 1910 ewes, $50 lambs
and so bucks the latter part of No
vember. The day was ideal, damp,
foggy, very little wind. These sheep
were blade shorn the middle of
June, the bucks the end of April.
They were carrying fair length of
wool and I was a little dubious as
to the success of the busting.
The ewes had very light infesta-
ton of ticks, but the lambs and
bucks had an above average infes-
tation. On Dec. when l put the
first lot of rams into the herd, I
noticed that there were lots of dead
ticks on the outside of the wool on
the bucks, very few in the fleece
We found a few live ticks on all we
examined but the number of dead
ticks exceeded our expectations.
In examining the ewes we had to
catch several before a single live
tick was found. The lambs still had
a few live ticks on them, but the
dead ones were so much in evidence
that I estimated the kill at 90 per-
cent. was particularly pleased with
the result of the busting of the
lambs.

ing flax as a nurse crop and seeding
early in June. Rain brought both up
to splendid stand and kept them
growing well throughout the early
part of June. The Soil Conservation
service was late in getting the sprin-
kler system which it had purchased
and the crop was needing moisture
when the sprinkler finally became
available to me.
We used from Is to 80 sprinklers
on the line, each sprinkler covering
a pattern 40 by so feet and 5-hour
setting was equal to 21z inch rain
fall on this area of ground. The first
set was made about noon on July
10 and from then until the afternoon
of July II. Only four sets were made
due to lack of help and experience
in handling the pipe. We figured that
approximately acres were irrigated
in these four settings.
Beginning that night and continu-
ing throughout the next week we
received inches of rain. The crop
grew beautifully and on the last day
of July, Mr.. William Porter, head of
the Soil Conservation in our county,
suggested that the remainder of the
field should be irrigated.
Irrigated in August
BY this time the flax was blossom
ing. Because we were busy with
view of the amount of rain we had
received, the crop really needed an
other soaking. Upon his insistence,
however, we went out and examined
the field thoroughly and found that
the portion of the field which had
been irrigated before the rain still
had gone sub-moisture, while the soil
in the remainder of the field was dry.
We also could see almost to plumb
line that the flax was better and the
blossoms thicker in that part of the
field which had been sprinkler ir-
rigated.
So we started irrigating again on
Monday, Aug. 3, and had finished up
by Friday, the 9th. The flax had
been blossoming heavily for about
two weeks and as each portion of the
field was sprinkled the density of
the blossoms seemed to be increas-
ing day by day. Part of the field
was close to state highway Is and
many people visited it to watch the
sprinklers in operation, and marveled
at the growth of the flax. All pre-
dicted that it would yield at least
IS bushels to the acre.
The men were beginning to lay the
pipe for the first set in the previously
irrigated portion of the field when
the hail storm accompanied by 2
inch fall in rain caught them-the
sprinkling and poisoning was over
But when the field was combined in
early October it yielded IL bushels
by measure per acre in spite of the
SIS percent hail damage allowed by
the state hail adjustor.
The alfalfa could not be irrigated
during the dry fall because the flax
had to ripen and dry for harvest, but
we are in hopes that it survived a:
we are anxious to see what this type
of irrigation will do for it, both fol
hay and seed.

For Labor Press Association

THE men and women who help put out the
Il nations newspapers spent good deal OF
the time, at their unions convention in WASH
ington the other week, talking about the
evils of monopoly control in the newspaper
industry
They pointed out that circulation was new
er greater; advertising volume and revenue
were at an all-time peak - but the NUMBER
of newspapers kept shrinking, the number OF
one-paper towns kept increasing, and John
O. Citizen was taking it on the chin as re-
CARDS honest reporting of the news
What the convention did not discuss, but
what all too many union members know, is
that even where there is no newspaper mono
poly, even where there are two papers in
town, the union story Is either never heard,
or is distorted.
For case in point let's lok at Morristown,
Tenn, where there are two papers the
Daily Gazette & Mail and the Sun. Nearby
Knoxville also has two papers - the Journal
and News-Sentinel. A Morristown resident has
the choice of four papers. Surely out of the
four one could get an unbiased account?
Not when it involves a union and big cor
poration.
You may recall how shocked were union
lists the nation over to read that National
Guard troops had been sent in during the
strike at the Dutch-owned Enka rayon plant
that followed strikers were beaten, arrested
wholesale ON suspicion" held without bail,
ETC. AS Time magazine cynically put it, one
striker was still black and blue from the
'theropy" administered by the troopers
At the insistence of the union, a sub-com-
mittee of the Senate labor management COM
mittee came to Morristown to investigate the
Enka strike Present for the committee were
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey ID, Minn) and
James E. Murray ID Mont
Even before the Senators arrived, both
Morristown papers declared outsiders" had
no business meddling in the affairs of the
Sovereign state of Tennessee"
The hearing lasted ID hours and 500
townsfolk stayed throughout, but the papers
said the hearing was "often dull" The papers
said most everyone who sat through that
meeting came away with this one certainty
if our nations future Is In the hands of such
men (Humphrey and Murray, certainly we
have grave worry for Americas tomorrow"
But elsewhere in the story was this There
was little doubt where the audiences SYM
pathy lay; every Humphrey TRADE met with
chers and applause"
One headline said the unions attorney
Terms Morristown Atmosphere Unpleasant"
What he really said was the police, and the
press, and the radio station had been hostile to
the strikers Another headline said wild Man
OF Senate Lives Up to Name; Humphrey
Popped Up Hearing by Ranting and Preach
ing"
A front-page column in the Gazette &
Mail said "press reports from throughout the
country" had tagged Murray and Humphrey
as utterly pro-union and incapable of con-
