The time seems to be ripe for the extensive exploitation of Alaskan pulp) wood, in the opinion of the For est Service, United States Department of Agriculture. In Department Bulle tin 950, entitled "Regional Develop mncut of Pulp-Wood Resources of the Tongass National Forest," the sue cessful operation of pulp and paper mills in nearby British Columbia, which has practically similar timber and power resources and comparable tranisportation facilities, is pointed to as removing the speculative element -from the proposed development. An Enormous Diemand For Paper The demand for paper, it is said, has increased to such an extent that it has become possible for well-organ ized and adequately financed compan ies to operate pull) and paper mills on an extensive scale, particularly for making newsprint. All indications point to a continuance of the demand at prices that should make possible profitable operations in Alaska. New sources are imperatively required, it is said, for the supply of raw pull) Wood. The Department of Agriculture be lieves that the devedopment of the forest and water-power resources of Alaska is a practicable means of in creasing the supplies of newsprint available for the United States and of eventually lessening the paper shortage now so acute. The national forests of Alaska prob~ably contain, it is estimated, 100,000,000 cords of tinm ber suit able for the manufacture of newsprinlt andl other gradles of paIper. Under careful management these for ests canf produce 2,000,000 cordis of p~ulp wvood annually for all time, or enough to manufacture one-thirdl of thle pulp) products now consumedl in the United States. Alaskan forests .also contain the second chief essential of the paper manufacturing indiustry--water pow er. While no0 accurate survey of wva ter powerz has been nmade, known pro jects have a possible dlevelopment of ~over 1 00,0001 horsepowver, and the For e'st Service estimlates that a compllete exploration of the national forests in southern Alaska will disclose their potential horsepower to be not less than a quarter of a million. Vast. Supplies of Raw Material "Scarcely any other part of the country," says the department's hulke tin, ''offers a field for the upbu~nild ing of a pueramane'nt plulp and paper induus try eqlual to that atfordled by Alaska. It is a virgin field because, in spite' of its natural advantages and vast suppl)1ies of raw material, economic c'onditionls had nuot, prior' to 1919, be 1 Al Dc I)IXIE HOUS1E COMPANY KNOW THE"MILEAG" OF YOUR FEED 300 L.bs.

For years the Forest Service tried in vain to interest capital in the development of enterprises for paper production inl Alaska. Had it succeed ed these enterprises would now be in a very advantageous position." Practically all the timber in south eastern Alaska is under the control of the Governmnt and is within the boundaries of the national forest, the exceptions being reservations and town sites. The area of land in pri vate ownership is small. The purpose of th6 Forest Service, it is said, looks beyond merely finding a market for Govern'ment timber in order that the timber may be cut and a new growth started in its place. The forests are administered as publ ic properties createl to serve public needs. Aklska's first need is said to be capital. It has not yet reached a point at which the upbuilding of the territory can be effected merely by an influx of pioneers of the type that con quered the wilderness in the Western States. While development must be a gradual process governeld by econ omic facts, large-scale operations are essential, it is said. ----o PALMETTO NEWSi'APERS RENDER FINE SERVICE Clemson College, -July 13.-"With out the valuable aid of South Caro lina's wide-awake newspapers in spreading the gospel of better farm ing ald a better rural life, the Exten sion Service of Clemson College and the U.

In the eastern part of the state the fifteenth of August is not too late, but in the central and west ern part it is better to plant the middle of July suggest the horticul turists. First, thoroughly prepare the land by plowing and harrowing until a perfect seed bed has been formed. Apply the fertilizer broadcast at the rate of 800 to 1000 pounds per acre. A fertilizer analyzing 8 percent phos phoric acid, 4 pe-cent nitrogen, and 3 percent potash will give good results on a sandy or sandy loam soil. In elaycy loam soil it will not be neces sary to have more than I to 1 1-2 percent potash. The fertilizer should be applied after the ground has been plowed and before harrowing. The main trouble in growing ruta bagas is in securing a good stand during the hot summer months. Ex perience has shown that when the seed are planted in furrows two inches deep and covered by simply running a wheel of an old whee! barrow or planter over the row this will mash them into the soil and cover them very slightly. When the seed germinate the roots will be near the moist soil and will therefore stand drought well. If they are planted'on the surface! they will be slow about germinating and fre quently when they do germinate the young plants wvill (lie on account of drought. It will require about a pound of seed to plant an acre in rows about three feet apart. After the plants have come up to a good stand and have formed the fourth leaf, they shoul be thinned c.a, to 10 to 12 inenes apart in the row a'nd cultivated cican, gradually working the soil towards the plants. The turnips will be ready for use about the first of November, but there is no necessity for harvesting them until the weather has turned cold, say the first of Deceniber. The turnips are pulled up and the tops cut off below the bud and the roots banked by covering with soil. Ten to fifteen bushels of turnips may be put in one bank and piled up in cone shape. They should be covered by at least six inches of soil. Turnips put up in this way will keep in perfect condition until the weather begins to turn warm in the spring. "SERVICE" Clemson College, July 13.-"While oil a visit to one of my farmers, I had anl opportunity to render him various kinds of service in connection with his farm and thus won his fav or," says County Agent J. W. Mc Lendon of Florence. "His cotton had boll weevil-I ad vised him as to cultural methods of fighting the pest. "His hogs were sick-I advised in oculation. "Hlis cow had milk fever-I advised a treatimient which gave relief. "Ifis tomlatoes were diseased-I advised spraying with Bordeaux. "HIis bees were all out of the old fashioned hives and he was getting little honey-I persuaded him to use a patent hive whereby he could get more honey. "I is peach trees had borers--I ad vised him to mound the trees July I. "When he toll le good-bye it was with an invitation to stop every time I was in his community and a parting remark that "A county agent isn't such a derned had thing after all.''
