Most of the alfalfas lack sufficient hardiness for this climate, even some of the Siberian varieties and Grimm,- but a yellow-flowered kind, Medlcago falcata, sent from the department experimental fields In 1909, has survived tbe hard winters.

Winter feed is a big problem for Alaska farmers, but the illo Is help ing theiw solve it. Oata with peas or vetch makes good silage, as do also some of the native grasiws, especially wild rye and a tall sedge. Among the tame grasses smooth brome grass Is the best. The garden helps greatly in making life enjoyable, for many of ih?_Com-_ mon vegetables are now grown suc cessfully In all parts of the territorv south of "the circle." "Alaska pro duces as fine potatoes as can be found In .any country," says4 the report, and they are successfully grown in all parts of the territory, even far north of the Arctic circle, in favorable sea sons. Improved hardy varieties hare been developed and are being grown. Hardy hybrid strjtwberies of good quality pro duced by the experiment stations are now widely grown in some sections as a commercial crop. Currants, goose berries, and raspberries are other fruits which may be successfully grown. Alaska has scarcely sny na tive ornamental shrubs and efforts are beina made to tod suitable ones; of sufflcUht hardiness. The best one tried so far la Rosa rugosa, the Japa nese rose, which seems to be hardy In all parti of the region, - Old Mural Paintings Discovered in Palate Warsaw.-?

"Chandler, 37 years old, was pronounced dead at 11:18 o'clock. Brought into the'elec trocution room from his coll fit \11.0S o'clock Chandler walked unaided tj the chair and seated himself to watch without word or sign? save a drawn factf and twitching lips ? the peniten tiary officials as they , mechanically went about their task of adjusting the chair straps. He glanced about the room and its 33 witnesses, but no light of recognition lit up his face* "JefT," Capt. B. & Evans of the penitentiary guard, asked him,^ is there anything you wish to say?" "1 don't know, Captain," he began and hesitated. "I woul^ like to say one thing. I would like to say that capital punishment ought to be done uway with. ? I know it's not right." I lh? spoke rapidly and SO indistinctly hut his words hardly carried even to .he group of official witnesses,* seated just a few feet in front of him. Theso ho did not appear to notice and his ayes were fixed only at the wall be hind them. ??It's not hero sitting in tho chair hat you mind it," he continued. "It's n tho. cell beforehand. It's the worst thing in the world. "If the people had -the fear of the Lord -in their hearts they would abpl sh capital punishment." Of his crime, which he has nevfcr denied, he had nothing to say. ? qphe -prisoner closed, his e^o* and leaned back in the chair and the two electfodes wfere adjusted. At 11:12 o'clock the current of 1900 volts and I 13 amperes was turned on for 60 ???<? onds and then off again. The limp body fell back in the chair and five minutes and 53 seconds after the cur rent had been applied the prison phy sician pronounced him dead. The witnesses filed out of the death houso and the body was removed from the chair. At Chandler's , request, made to Captain Evans Thursday, that he be allowed a companion for his last night of life, S. W. Nicholson of Co lumbia, former prison guard, was se cured for the death watch. "The hours are l^ng," Chandler said, and J have no one to talk to/' So Mr. Nicholson sat with him through the darkness. Early yesterday morning his broth er and brother-in-law went to tell him goodbye, hear from him his last mossage to loved ones and friends and then left him. The body yesterday afternoon was removed from the prison and carried (o Greenville county, his old, home, xxrhnrft it will be interred. Chandler, indicted on charges of the murder of his wife and her mother, Mrs. Rosie K. Bramlett of Greenville, was tried and convicted March, 1922, of the slaying of his mother-in-law. In 1912 he had married Theodeus Bt-amlett and for a while, Chandler admitted, their married life had been placid and peaceful. Two children were born, one a boy now nine years old and the other a girl now six years o)d. A separation came, however, and Mrs. Chandler with her mother, Mrs. Bramlett, rented an apartment in Greenville; here they lived with the two children. Armed with a pistol,; which he said was not- seeured^for the purpose for Which it was used, Chandler entered the house on the night of February 26, 1922. Mrs. Chandler was seated in a chair sewing and Chandler opened fire upon her' irilh the revolver, two shots from which totfk effect.

Three reprieves wore allowed by the governor as his inquiry into the case continued and it was not until last Monday that he an nounced his decision not to interfere in the sentence of the court. "I have carefully considered every fact," Mr. McLeod said, "and have been forced to tho conclusion that at the time of the commission of this act (?handler was not insane. His life was unhappy and unfortunate. He sinned and ho was probably sinned against. ... 1 am obliged to follow tho line of my duty and allow tho pen alty imposed by the law to be carricd out."

Warrants charging violation of the North Carolina "blue sky" law again3y leaders in what the Carolina Motor club tqrms an organisation in* ended to defraud tho motoring pub' >?*. havo boon ukml in l.hc handa of county officers. Tho warrants are sworn out for J. L. Ramsey, said to bo a representative of the United Auto association, and Cecil Simmons, a North Carolina man, said to bo Ram sey's "right hand man." These men and their agents, it is alleged, sold fraudulent memberships in a fako automobile association. Ac-' cording t<J W. H. Evans, of Greens boro, assistant manager of the Caroli na Motor club, the motor elub has been attempting to locate Ramsey for three months*, but has been unable to t!o so. It is said that he and his as sociates have been operating in North ( a i olina, South Carolina and Virginia for about six months, selling member ships and conl racts in an association alleged to be fraudulent. Mr, Ev?ns asserts that more than 269 persons in Charlotte were de frauded by Ramsey and his hids. These included motorists who paid a membership, fee of $3.06 to enter the United Auto Association, a?id doctors lawyers* hotel, restaurants, etc., who paid $'16 for contracts with tho asso ciation whereby they were, to benefit fi'om the patronage of the mombers of the* United Auto association, Mr. Evans slated. None of those who bought membership and contractu have since heard from the association, it is stated. " Information from Washington is to the effect that creditors have petition ed -the supreme court^f^hglflBtrlet of Columbia to declare the United Auto association bankrupt. The peti tion states that .1. L. Ramsey and A. V. Pankey, principal owners of stock in tho association# are both in solvent, Pankey is being held in Washington, it is 'understood, pending fl.e outcome of bankruptcy proceed ngs. Ramsey has not been located by the authorities. Ramsey, employing1 a corps of 16 or 20 'workers, solicited memberships . in Charlotte for about six months, it is said, )flrst coming here in August and again shortly after Christmas. No warrants were sworn out against . the 15 or 20 solicitors employed by him. Mr. Evans said, because they^ were local men and were ignorant of the fact that they were working for \i fraudulent organisation* Against Ramsey and Cecil Sim mons, the latter a Hickory man, are alleged bad checks and unpaid bills at a local hotel amounting to $140, it is claimed, $100 in worthless checks and the remaining $40 in unpaid hotel bills.
