TAR PAPER IN THE GARDEN
Experiments with tar paper laid alongside glow
ino- plans or where seeds have been jlanted have pro
ven that the season may be advanced at least one-fourth
and the yield materially increased. . p -i
As the result of experiments made m the Kail
road belt, radishes thus propagated, have matured m
three weeks. Potatoes, planted late m June, have reach
ed a point of maturity equal to those planted ioui {
weeks earlier. The same results have been obtained
with strawberries, where old plants, matted with lun
ners, have been resurrected and made to yield abun
dantly when protected by asphalt or tar paper laid
alongside. . j . .... i
It has been discovered that, owing to the rapidity
of growth, it is necessary, immediately after the seeds;
sprout and the plant appears above the ground,
to place dirt about the tender shoots, especially
the radishes, to protect the roots and prevent sun- j
bum.
Some gardners have absorbed the erroneous idea
that the paper does not allow the air to reach the
roots. A plant does not absorb the oxygen or nitrogen
from the root, but through the plant leaves above the!
ground. The paper keeps weeds and grass from ab
sorbing the nutriment that should go to the plant,
and removes the necessity for continued hoeing and
cultivation; it also retains the moisture and hosing
with cold water is unecessary.
It is necessary to have a well pulverized seed bed
at the start, and allow for the sun to warm up the
earth. After the seeds are planted and the paper plac
ed as close as possible to allow the plants to emerge,
it is only necesssary to remove the narrow strip of
chick weed and grass between each plant. The paper
should be allowed to remain until the crop is har
vested.
Ordinary asphalt roofing paper, especially scrap,
may be employed many years before becoming un
serviceable
HOW LONG?
With the approach of fall in the offing with its
probable tale of lashing storms and howling gales,
the people of this area begin to shiver again and won
der apprehensively how many more brave mariners
will go to their, graves in icy waters. They recall the
record of last fall when the S. S. Starr was almost
lost and halibuters were dashed out in the treacherous
seas. They wonder again how long it will be before
Uncle Sam stations a staunch Coast Guard cutter in
those waters to watch over the thousand miles of
coast line.

Among the prominent easterners
in the city today is John Jonas, of
the internationally known taxider
mist firm of Jonas Bros., Yonkers,
N. Y. The zoological art studies of
the Jonas Bros., have won world re
nown, the firm being recognized by
authorities as being leaders in their
field.
Ponas Bros., is an institution spe
cializing in the allied arts of ani
mal sculpture and taxidermy: the
mounting of hunting trophies,
museum specimens, habitat groups
of animals and birds, and the de
signing of educational miniature!
groups. The technique used calls
for a process embracing the fine |
arts of the sculpture and painter |
combined with the extra knowledge I
of the scientist.
Mr. Jonas, a member of the Field i
Museum Arctic-Siberia expedition, i
which returned to Seward last j
week, is enrouie to the states and j
leaves on the S. S. Admiral Watson. !
While in Seward, Mr. Jonas is a j
guest at the Overland hotel.
“NOCTURNO” CLOSES
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug., 12
(/P)—Night life in San Juan was I
not of sufficient volume nor free I
enough with its money to sup- j
port an all night restaurant that,
chose the name “Nocturno” and:
opened at 9 p. m. After a few j
weeks of mounting losses the night
life catering place had to be
closed.
Ed Stanley, local resident, was j
among the incoming arrivals j
on Saturday’s train.
The Seward Chamber of Com
merce cordially extends an in
vitation to the officers of the

Seward hotel, returned Saturday j
from his placer ground in Moose ;
Pass.
The S- S. Denali, of the A.
S. S. Co., was scheduled to sail

INDEED YES!
Strange, weird, mysterious, or
what have you, equipment went
through the back-door of Dream
land hall, last Saturday which, no
doubt, will be presented to Shrine
novices, next Saturday night, for!
a closer inspection.
