ALASKA YOUTH AND POLITICS
(The Alaska Weekly)

Territorial Senator Howard Lyng of Nome, one of the truly respected political leaders in the north believes that the young men and women of Alaska many of whom will for the first time in the April 29 primaries should be encouraged to take keener interest the politics of the Territory and participate actively therein.
 Senator Lyng expresses himself as follows in a communication to The Alaska Weekly
 ''Today, to the citizen of Alaska and the United States proper and especially to it's youth nothing is important than the obligation of citizenship and participation in politics and government There is extreme urgency-n fact, paramount duty-deVOlv- ing upon the youth of the land of actively participating in public affairs, to aid in the perpetuation, amid changing world conditions of great Republics constitutional form of government based its under lying principles of liberty and representative govern ment
 Active participation at the minimum, means exercise of the right to vote and the intelligent under standing of the issues involved. But far young people concerned, political activity consid- erably more. The youth of Alaska-Of America-muSt interest themselves in the representatives for whom they vote Candidates for public office usually are selected from a group Of men or women who have been identified with political organizations at precinct district Territorial level Consequently the young person who may not desire public office for himself but wants to have hand in the selection of those who do serve, should begin at early date to take part in the local affairs of his party.
 "The highest plane of active political participation is service in public office There is no finer to which young aspire It is essential that have young and women in the city halls the state and Territorial capitals and the halls of Con- greSs-today Youth understands more readily perhaps than it's elders that government must constantly adapt itself to meet changing conditions Youth is more bold to act if action is needed to provide all of people with the benefits and privileges which society offers them Youth brings to the political scene re- freshing vigor and idealism = the same vigor and ideasrn that sustained government when it was young, and is so badly needed now.
 ''There is no profession today that has greater need for the infusion of new blood-new ideas from young people with high ideals of service to humanity than politics. for the members of no other profession shoulder such allencompassng responsibility for the lives, security and well-being of their fellow
 "The issue of universal participation in politics and government is the challenge of this hour in Amer ica today It may be less inspiring to youth than buge call to arms to ask for increasing interest and watch fulness in affairs, but only through that
 united effort on the part of all of us, we preserve heritage of freedom for ourselves and future gen. erationS.'

N 0 T l C E.

The 2Oth Session of the Alaska Legislature enacted an amendment to the Alaska Net Income Tax which specifically requires that Federal em- plOyees must file estimated declaration on or before April 18th of the taxable year and pay at that time IA of the estimated tax to be due.
 The amendment, in addition to specifically requiring Federal employees to file declaration, also incorporates Sections 58 and 59 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, all persons having in- come not subject to the Withholding Provision of the Act must also file Declaration of Estimated Alaska Net Income Tax.
 Declaration blanks are available at the Branch Office, Department of Taxation, Box 259, Nome Alaska. Failure to file declaration and pay the estimated tax when due, will result in the appli- cation of penalties up to maximum of 10 per cent of the unpaid amounts of such installments.

Designers Emphosize 1InterchonqeobiLih of Items
By GIodys Miller

Open areas and intercommunity
space for living. dining, cooking
and play are factors which have
inspired the designers to create
furniture items having multiple
uses and interchangeability.
With ceilings coming down as
rooms spread out, no one wishes
to set up partial room dividers
which will obstruct the spatial
rhythm.
To meet the storage needs, and
mark area functions, table, height
desks or cabinets are placed at
right angles to the wall. The
backs are finished. The cabinet
may have sliding wood or glass
doors or hinged doors and ad-
Unstable shelves.
The chest may have many shall
low drawers or three deep ones, and
20 to "a inch high chests, if fin
ished on the back, may also be
placed at right angles if desired.
II you like open bookcases, you
may use this piece facing the living
area and a cabinet or chest for
china or linens facing the dining
area.
What makes this interchange
ability Of pieces desirable? Amer
leans have become nomad peo-
pie. The formula for promotion
among many of our large business
and industrial firms sends promis-
ing young executives to some new
branch office on an average of
every three years.
Each year means a new house
or apartment with rooms of vary
ing size, proportion and shape.
The family tastes and needs do
develop and change with expert
ence and growth of children.
Regardless of the individual
ability to meet new situations and
new people, the familiarity of fur
nishing in the home provides a
surprising sense of security. Il

1t is becoming evident to the
decorator that furnishings for any
home play an important morale
role in the life of a family.
Styles and pieces of a formal
quality which demand specific
placement and background are no
longer the answer. Each purchase
must be carefully considered with
due thought given to it's size, it's
various uses. its flexibility and it's
color.
The furniture should be medium
in scale, large enough to look i'm
portant to be comfortable, and to
serve the family needs.
1t should be of good quality to
withstand packing and shipping

Draperies should be simple and

Farming Good
In Far North
lContinued from page .


tai station at Holt has taken on added
Importance.
Bv American standards the ex-
pertinent station is not large. It has
about so acres of cultivated land.
Operating on slim budget, the sta
ton continues to clear more land
each year. Since much Of the land IS
peat type soil, it must be drained
with extensive tiling.
A dairy herd is kept to furnish
manure for the fields and added m
come for the farm. Then too, the
farm, though primarily interested IN
finding better crop varieties, must
keep in mind the management prac-
tees that can be used on the farms
in this part of the world.
Ninety percent of the land on
farms is kept in grass. 1t IS nearly
the one sure crop in the short, un-
predictable summers. This grass
must be turned into milk and meat.
So the farmers turn to dairy cattle
and sheep.
Director of the station is pleasant
DR.. Karl Flovik, perhaps in his early
sos and himself an expert on plant
life in the far north. He has studied
in Finland and travelled in northern
Canada and Alaska.
Says Director Flovik, Conditions
here are almost identical with the
farming I saw at Fairbanks, Alaska,
except that think you have greater
opportunities in Alaska. If / were
young man, 1 would go to Alaska
to farm.
ssYou see, farming in the far north
4 is quite different from farming in
other parts of the world. That's per-
haps why many of the farmers who
have gone to Alaska from the United
States have failed at farming.
"Just for instance, we have found
here at the experimental station that
potatoes yield best when planted at
a little less than 2 inches under the
soil. That seems quite shallow. But
if we plant them four inches deep,
the extra growth needed to reach
sunlight so handicaps the plants in
the short summers that it cuts the
yields by over ton per. acre. In
regions farther south depth Of plant
ing doesn't make so much differ
ence."
Leaf Surface Counts
AS we walked down across the
fields with their test plots of tim.
othy, potatoes, carrots and cabbage
remarked that one plot of potatoes
was larger than the others but tht
leaves were much lighter shad,
of green.
That's our best producing va
riety," the director explained. II
seems here that the amount of lea
surface on the plants is more i'm
portant than the shade of greer"
In this north country had alread
noticed that even the trees and gras
were light spring green.
"But the yields here may surpris
you" Flovik went on. s'The first cut
ting Of timothy regularly yields fror
four to four and half tons of DIR
hay to the acre.
Potatoes yield well since we hav
practically no disease here. / thin
it should be possible for farmers
] grow seed potatoes here to sen
n farther south.
