Views From Plane of Southeastern Alaska Forest Service Offering Pictures at a Very Small Price In order that the "phototopographic" views made in southeastern Alaska last summer by the navy department, at the request of the geological survey, may be available to the general public at as early a date as possible, arrangements have been recently entered into between the geological survey of the interior department and the forest service of the department of agriculture whereby prints of the pictures may be obtained at a small price. It should be distinctly understood, however, that several prints of adjacent areas can not be joined so as to form an undistorted mosaic. Nearly 5000 sets of exposures were made during the summer, each consisting of three parts—a central picture which represents the ground directly under the airplane and two side pictures which represent adjoining areas on each side of the central picture. The central picture is taken with a camera pointed vertically downward, and the two side pictures are made at the same moment by two supplementary cameras directed obliquely to each side and fixed at a definite angle to the vertical. A set of three pictures thus taken represents an area of about 11 square miles when the plane flies at the preferred elevation of 10,000 feet, and the whole series covers practically all of southeastern Alaska, except Baranof and Chichagof islands. The series, however, is made up of pictures which are in part duplicates, for in order to use the pictures in constructing maps it is necessary to have each set of exposures overlap the area covered by the next preceding and following exposures by about 60 per cent, and the sets of each successive flight overlap those of the preceding and following flights by a somewhat smaller amount. The middle picture is about five and one-half inches square. Direct contact prints of the oblique pictures a small room, which should be made as nearly air tight as possible. The proper amount of ethylene chlorhydrin is placed in pans, on top of the potatoes. A small electric fan should be allowed to blow across the pans. This facilitates the volatilization of the ethylene chlorhydrin and provides circulation of the gas to all parts of the room. The dosage is three and one-half gallons of ethylene chlorhydrin per 1000 cubic feet of space. The treatment should be allowed to continue over night, for 16 to 20 hours is best. The treatment can be given on a smaller scale, if desired, using the same dosage. It can be given any time between the harvesting of the potatoes and the time that they are to be cut for planting, but about the middle of this period seems to be best: MORE VEGETABLES EATEN Around the simple statement of fact that the consumption of lettuce has increased 440 per cent in the last 10 years hangs a story of how the average American has changed his methods of cramming his stomach. Gradually, it appears that we are becoming a nation of grass eaters and vegetarians. While the population has increased but 10 per cent in the last 10 years, the cooks and salad makers of the land have dished up an average of 77 per cent more potatoes, cabbage, celery, tomatoes, apples, grapes, oranges, grapefruits and similar fodder. The explanation is not that the average individual has been eating more—he has been changing from a diet composed largely of meat to a diet composed largely of fruits and vegetables—technically known as roughage and lubricants. Half a dozen factors have been at work to bring about this interesting condition of affairs. The newspapers, through the now essential health columns, have been preaching this change of diet since before the war. Public school cooking courses have educated countless young things to the benefits of the balanced ration. The discovery of those invaluable but invisible vitamins, and the vast amount of publicity they received, furthered the cause.

The growing season in many parts of California is long enough to produce two crops of potatoes yearly. Because of the difficulty in obtaining seed from outside sources, for the fall crop, the product of the spring crop is usually used as seed. Two difficulties have in the past prevented this practice from being entirely successful: the slow, irregular sprouting of the potatoes planted for fall crop, and decay of many of the seed pieces.

The discovery of those invaluable but invisible vitamins, and the vast amount of publicity they received, furthered the cause. Style has no little to do with it. The creation of the fashionable slim "boyish figure" meant that womanhood had to reduce her circumference, and the simplest way was to quit eating so much. The men folk suffered and benefitted at the same time. The effects are going to be far reaching. The average human perimeter will be shrunk considerable, which is the chief physiological profit and loss. For the densely populated New England states, the change in diet is seen as a solution for the abandoned farm problem, for truck farming can be made profitable where crop farming cannot. And the meat packers are beginning to look to their laurels. AMERICA'S FUTURE Miss Dorothy Carlson, of Salt Lake City, winner of the high school national oratorical contest at Washington over six young men representing all parts of the country, said in concluding her speech: "America's future rests upon the individual citizen, Oh, for a Lincoln, to fuse into our civic and national consciousness, in times of peace, the patriotic service and fidelity of purpose so manifest in times of war! We need more leaders and teachers to inspire us, and especially in the youth of our land, the honest qualities of honesty, fairness, helpfulness, industry and thrift, without which no nation, however great the charter of its liberty, can survive; without which there would have been no lasting Constitution, no united, free America, no Stars and Stripes! "We are so sated with the pleasures of life that the red blood of true Americanism no longer flows in our veins? If so, God help us to awaken to a full appreciation of our citizenship! The challenge comes to every American citizen not only to uphold the Constitution, but to defend it; to uphold it is not enough! "We Americanize the foreigner. Are not many native-born Americans just as truly in need of Americanization? For those who are ignorant of our history and know not our traditions, the valiant stand of the Minute Men at Lexington means nothing; the roar of Bunker Hill falls on deaf ears; the blood-stained footprints on the ice and snow at Valley Forge bring no heart throb; the Stars and Stripes, floating resplendent on the breeze, brings no quickening of the pulse. "Ladies and gentlemen, vigilance must be our watchword, for real danger confronts this nation. Foreigners, under the guise of friendship, come here stamps and do not consequences of deluge."

T. R08A, Division of Truck Crops, U. of C. The growing season in many parts of California is long enough to produce two crops of potatoes yearly. Because of the difficulty in obtaining seed from outside sources, for the fall crop, the product of the spring crop is usually used as seed. Two difficulties have in the past prevented this practice from being entirely successful: the slow, irregular sprouting of the potatoes planted for fall crop, and decay of many of the seed pieces. Experiments carried on at the university farm for the past four years point to a practical solution of the first difficulty, which in turn considerably reduces the second. The slow sprouting is due to the natural dormant condition of the tubers, which exists in tubers planted only a short time after they were harvested. It has been found that the more nearly mature the potatoes are when harvested, the more rapidly they will sprout when planted. Tubers dug when only half grown and stored two months, sprouted more slowly than fully mature tubers stored only two weeks. Other experiments show that, contrary to the usual iden, the dormant condition is prolonged somewhat by cold storage (temperatures of 32 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit), but is shortened by storage at high temperatures. Potatoes kept at 85 degrees Fahrenheit for three weeks sprouted much more rapidly when planted than tubers kept in an ordinary cellar at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. White Rose and Idaho Rural have been found to be the varieties best adapted to the two-crops-a-year culture. Other varieties have a longer dormant period. The use of chemical treatments to stimulate sprouting of dormant potatoes has been extensively tested. Many treatments that are effective when used during cool weather in the spring, cause much decay of the seed when used in hot weather. Probably the best of all the treatments, especially for use in summer, is to fumigate the seed potatoes, before cutting, with ethylene chlorhydrin. This substance is obtained commercially as a 33 per cent solution in water. The method of treatment is to place the seed potatoes in ventilated boxes or trays, and stack these up in not many native-born Americans just as truly in need of Americanization? For those who are ignorant of our history and know not our traditions, the vallant stand of the Minute Men at Lexington means nothing; the roar of Bunker Hill falls on deaf ears; the blood-stained footprints on the ice and snow at Valley Forge bring no heart throb; the Stars and Stripes, floating resplendent on the breeze, brings no quickening of the pulse. "Ladies and gentlemen, vigilance must be our watchword, for real danger confronts this nation. Foreigners, under the guise of friendship, come here desiring to wreck the very citadel of our liberty by poisoning the minds of our youth with their seditious propaganda. For these insidious foes, who hold contempt and hatred in their hearts for all established law and order, we have nothing but righteous indignation. We must, by a process of education, teach these radicals new ideals, new standards—teach them our constitutional freedom is based on fixed rules of law and order; that liberty without responsibility is license. But to those who come with honesty of purpose we extend the hand of fellowship; we say to them, in all sincerity, 'Our schools are open to you and yours; our industries are calling you; our broad fields are inviting you.' With patience and understanding, and by the potent force of living example, we can help them to become good citizens, and in so doing we, ourselves, shall be touched with the fire from the altar of liberty." In the common bond of love and service may we ever hold sacred and violate the tenets of our matchless Constitution, and may we pass on to posterity this priceless heritage, consecrated by the blood of the saluted dead, with no blot on its escutcheon from wrongdoing, with no blemish from our neglect." The old-time song which ran "My Bonnie lies over the ocean" my soon be succeeded by one which will go, "My Bonnie files over the ocean." A British general says that they would have won the war without us, but our recollection is that along in 1917 they were asking Uncle Sam to hurry a little. Revenue Collector Issues a Warning Narcotics Dealers Must Secure Special Stamps by June 30 On May 25, 1927, Galen H. Welch, collector of internal revenue for the Southern California district, malled forms of registration to all dispensers and dealers in narcotics located within the district, calling attention to the fact that special tax stamps for the current fiscal year expire June 30, 1927. The internal revenue collector states that up to the present time less than 25 per cent of the dealers in narcotics have secured next tax stamps, and calls attention to the fact that unless new special tax stamps are secured on or before July 1, a 25 per cent penalty will be added. The law also provides an additional penalty of a fine not exceeding $2000, or imprisonment of not more than five years, or both, may be inflicted against violators of this law. The Harrison Narcotic act is not entirely a revenue act, but it is also an enforcement act, and it is the intention of the internal revenue collector to make a complete check of drug stores, physicians and surgeons, dentists, veterinary surgeons, hospitals and other dealers located within the district immediately after July 1, in an effort to locate violators of the narcotic law. Mr. Welch states that he believes that most of the dealers in narcotics are merely careless in renewing their tax stamps and do not realize the serious consequences of delay. The internal revenue office, Los Angeles, has made every preparation for prompt and convenient handling of taxpayers who desire to renew their special taxx for handling narcotics. Beach Town Prepares To Entertain Visitors A grand welcome at Huntington Beach awaits the members of the Orange County Farm Bureau and the Beach Town Prepares To Entertain Visitors A grand welcome at Huntington Beach awaits the members of the Orange County Farm Bureau and the delegates of the California Farm Bureau Federation Region No. 1, when they adjourn their convention at Santa Ana, Saturday, July 9. A stretch of beach, the lath house and tables have been reserved for the use of the organization, and a committee representing the city council will welcome the visitors. It is planned to adjourn the convention, which will be held at the farm bureau offices in Santa Ana, at about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and take the delegates down to the beach town. Arrangements have been made with the bathhouse and plunge to provide accommodations at a greatly reduced price, and the plunge is reserved for the party under the auspices of the farm bureau from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. After a swim, either in the plunge or ocean, a picnic supper will be served at the lath house. Orange county members are requested to bring their own basket lunch, and the farm bureau will serve coffee and fixin's free to all. The organization will also provide a free supper to the out-of-county guests. Following the supper, a bonfire program will be held on the beach. Dancing will be convenient for those who care to trip the light fantastic, so altogether a very pleasing program is being arranged, and Huntington Beach will doubtless prove a capable host. This event takes place of the annual farm bureau picnic. Here is a fashion hint: those old-fashioned shades from the big piano lamp make fine skirts for summer evening wear. We are expecting some enthusiastic statesman to introduce a bill into the next congress to make it unlawful for the Mississippi to overflow its banks. A lot of our so-called American liberals will never enthusiastically approve any American foreign policy unless it is made in Europe. Industrial Growth Will Feature 1927 R. H. Ballard Predicts a Prosperous Year in California Industrial expansion of the substantial sort will be the outstanding fact when the records for 1927 are closed. The records compiled by the engineering department of the Southern California Edison Company indicate that, from every viewpoint, this is a year of manufacturing progress. The factories of this section are turning out at least 20 per cent more goods than in the same period of last year, says R. H. Ballard of the Southern California Edison Company. During the past 12 months the industrial load of the Edison company has been increased 20 per cent, representing 62,961 horsepower. This indicates not only a great number of new factories, but also the expanded capacity of established concerns. That the existing plants are also working at full capacity is shown by a compilation of kilowatt hours sold for each connected horsepower. This figure reads 6 per cent more use for each horsepower installed above the average for the past 12 years. It is also interesting to note that the amount of horsepower added for the past 12 months is 30 per cent more than the five-year average increase. June is the month of lowest consumption for lighting purposes as the daylight hours are now the longest of the year. On account of the fine rainfall this season the farmers are not yet using their customary amount of power, so it is clearly evident that this additional output is being absorbed by industrial enterprises. Another interesting sideline on industrial conditions is shown when the item of load factor is studied. "Load factor," as used by electrical engineers, means the percentage of the average load during 24 hours to the highest de- mand for the same period. On the Edison system this load factor reaches 80 per cent day after day, and on June 16 it was 83 per cent. To the layman this means that our factories are working more than eight hours a day, and that many large establishments must be operating on a three-shift basis. Everything indicates that 1927 will be a year of industrial prosperity, with full payrolls and the consequent circulation of money throughout the entire business structure. Electricity is a commodity of the "a la carte" class—it is never made until it is ordered, and when Southern California orders 8,000-1000 kilowatt hours for the day's work, and repeats the order day after day, it means that our factories are turning out goods which will bring money into our common coffers and that the men who operate the machines to produce these goods are going home every Saturday night with full pay envelopes. There was a time when the smoke coming from factory chimneys was watched as an index of prosperity. Like the horse car and the coal oil lamp, the smoky chimney has gone into the discard, and the student of economics now gets his information from the electric meter. In Southern California the meter now tells us that business as a whole is 20 per cent better than it was at the same time in 1926. NEW FOREST RULE The forest service this year is not going to wait for the careless smokers to set the trees on fire. A new order which went into effect this week prohibits smoking in all national forests, save in improved camps and places of habitation, and will be enforced until the fall rains remove the hazard.

CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor growers in his district because of its presence. A committee of the grain growers' department of the farm bureau is now investigating different types of treating machines with the view of having it installed in a warehouse where growers Seed Grain Treated For Smut Control By W. M. CORY, Assistant Farm Adviser The treatment of seed grain for smut control has not been as extensively used as the effectiveness of control would justify. The reason for this lack of use was due, largely, to the rather tedious method of application. The seed had to be soaked in a solution of bluestone or formaldehyde, after which it was necessary to spread the seed out to dry, in one case, before storing, and in the other, it was necessary to sow shortly after treating. Either solution killed the germ of cracked grains. Most of the handicaps of former seed grain treatments have been eliminated by the use of copper carbonate dust. Seed germination is not retarded as was the case when treated with fungicidal solutions, but appeared to be hastened. Both wheat smut and closed smut of barley have caused serious losses to the growers. Not so much perhaps in the decrease in yield as in prices quoted for harvested grain. Buyers discriminate against smutty grain, and one warehouse manager reported several thousand dollars lost annually to the elevation, he who goes into the higher mountains having the privilege. If there are those who will complain, they need but look at the records to see the reason for the order. Burning matches and tobacco, thrown aside by smokers, started 826 brush and forest fires in California last year. More than 50,000 acres were burned over as a result of carelessness. If enforcement of the new regulation can cut down that record, it will have done a great work. A committee of the grain growers' department of the farm bureau is now investigating different types of treating machines with the view of having it installed in a warehouse where growers may have the seed run directly from the recleaner to the dusting machine. When installed in this manner, the additional cost will be small, as but two or three ounces of the dust are used to the bushel of grain. Seed treated can be stored as long as wished, as it causes no injury to the germ and protects the grain from insects and weevils. The copper carbonate dust is very poisonous, thus protecting it against any insects while in storage. Paradichlorobenzene and naphthalene Had the Bolshevist leaders believed what they told their public at that time, they would now show eagerness to acclakes are both effective in protecting stored clothing against moth damage. If the clothing is first thoroughly cleaned by brushing and beating, and if possible, sunned. The articles to be stored must be wrapped in tight bundles in paper, with the ends securely sealed so no moths can enter, or stored in tight boxes or trunks, with the flakes scattered through the container. Placing these substances in bureau drawers or on shelves does no good, because the fumes which kill the moth larvae are not confined.
