FORGOTTEN SIBERIAN
ALFALFA MAKES HAY
WITH NO SUNSHINE

WASHINGTON, July l - w =
Plants obtained from Russia more
than 40 years ago-but forgotten
until recently-may help the great
plains put more meat on the Ameri-
can dinner table.
They are yellow-flowered alfalfas
brought to this country from ST.
IBERIA.
The prospects were disclosed by
DR.. B. T. Shaw, deputy administra-
tor of the Agriculture Departments
research division.
He told a recent meeting of de-
partment staff officers that the ST.
beriap alfalfa provides basic germ
plasm for development of legume
which would enable the great plains
to produce much more livestock.
When first brought to this coun-
try nearly half century ago, the
alfalfa was tested at a number of
experiment stations, but was aban-

low yielding. At that time interest
was centered on high yielding
strains.
Recently, Shaw said, plant breed
ers have become concerned more
with the possibilities of strains
which will persist under extreme
climatic conditions such as charac-
terize areas of Kansas, Nebraska
North and South Dakota, and Mon
tana.
"At one of the field stations in
South Dakota" Shaw said, plant
breedrs found growing some of the
Siberian alfalfas that were planted
almost half century ago. These
plants had come through the years
of drought when they were eaten
into the ground by livestock. De-
spite this severe treatment and
weather they have persisted and
were able to come back when con-
ditions became more favorable"
Some of the seeds were sent to
Alaska for testing about the same
time. but they too were soon forgot
ten. Two years ago, they were found
there growing within ten inches of
ground permanently covered with
frost.

that might take it.
It's different, however, at Ladd
Field at Fairbanks and Elmendorf
here.
At Anti-Aircraft Guns
At both, men stand beside anti
aircraft guns. Passes are required
just to get through the gates.
At Elmendorf, where on a pre-
vious trip to the Territory I saw
jets lined up almost wing to wing
along the landing strips, it is diff
cult now to find them. They have
been dispersed and concealed so
cleverly it's difficult to spot them
from the air unless you know where
they are.
They would be hard to knock out.
At Fort Richardson, near Elmen-
dorf, another step has been taken
due to the tenseness of the interna-
tional situation. Wartime instruc-
tons to military dependents and
civilian employees have been re-
published. Officials said it was
mainly for the benefit of newcom-
ers.
Evacuation Method
The instructions include evacua-
ton procedures. Dependents and
civilians would be flown out of the
danger area in the event of attack,
with hospital patients and women
with children receiving top priority.
Sounding of the posts siren con-
tinuously could mean a serious alert.
All persons are told not to telephone
but remain home and listen for in
structions by radio.
With all this, Twining has re-
assured Alaskans to avoid hysteria
or alarm. The moves are largely
precautionary.
And Alaskans seem to be taking
it in stride. The Anchorage Times
reflected the general feeling when
it said editorially that life goes its
normal course here with people in
formed but not alarmed"

usual pyrotechnical effects ever de-
vised. Larry 1--WE need more shells)
Parker, who is superintendent OF
aerial shells and bombs for tie
committee, states that it is def
nitely the finest assortment We
have ever had.
Among the daylight shells are a
great collection of flags of various
countries, on parachutes, several
good noisy bombs. and one huge
mystery" shell. This shell was
opened and carefully examined by
the committee but they were unable
to recognize the contents, however,
they we're able to determine that
it is a daylight shell, and that it
contains an enormous amount of
fireworks, (the shell is 80 inches
in circumference and almost 2 feet
high, and was handmade in ia
pan about 20 or 80 years ago. and
has long since lost all its labels
and identifying marks. Included
also in the daylight shells are sew
eral large paper birds and animals
which should prove of great in
terest, as well as BPO banner

lodge, long time supporter and
friend of the fireworks committee.

ion of aerial salutes ranging IN
size from inches to "a inches.
The "a inch bomb is approximately
four times as loud as anything
ever used here before, and viii
certainly advise anyone within a
radius of Is or 20 miles that the
fireworks show is about to start.
The show will be fired in the
usual order, that is, there will be
ground piece, a group of roc
cts, and group of shells, and
another ground piece etc. The
first two groups of shells will be
Of the IL inch size and will con-
sist mainly of star shells inter-
spersed with a few special effects.
The third and fourth group will
be is inch shells, all special eff
fects. The fifth group will be 10
inch shells, and the sixth and
seventh group will be "a inch shells
Including filter shells, duration
shells and various other special
effects.
The eighth group will consist Of
II 80 irc1 shells. All of the "a
and 80 inch shells on this show
were made to order and contain
some exceptionally fine examples
Of the pyrotechnists art. such as
Crosettes, White Magnesium, Battle
In the Clouds, Shell of Shells
Spider Web, ,Octapus, etc. One
shell was designed by a member
of the committee which is hoped
will produce something new in
pyrotechnical effects.
Thirty large shells have been
fused together and will be fired in
one flight to accompany the finale
of the big show. There has also
been generous selection of shells
reserved for the show on the night
of the Fourth.
