I have talked to quite a num
>er of farmers concerning the
orage grading demonstration

rhey all seem very much inter
red in it. Some farmers have
lad trouble getting good grass
ilage. Some have had excellent
esults. Some oats and peas, both
lay and silage could be improved
m. Here will be an opportunity
o see good and poor forage Also
some talks wTill be given on why
lifferent forages are classed as
hey are, their relative feed value,
tnd how our feeding practices
:an be improved.
Opportunity will be afforded
or questions and answers. A lot
>f information can be gotten by
in exchange of ideas. You would
>e surprised at the amount of in
ormation and hard headed prac
ical ideas that are carried around
he Valley between these farm
:rs’ earmuffs. Here will be a
:hance to spread them around,
’ll be seeing you.
KLONDIKE ERA

The University of Alaska was
presented recently with an out
itanding collection of photographs
>f the Klondike era of Alaska’s
listory. The donor is Ove Selid

rerritory.
About two years ago Selid
leard of a collection of 500 glass
>late negatives of the gold rush
*ra of the Northland. Many of
hese 8x10 inch glass plate nega
ives had been carried over Chil
coot pass and chronicled the stir
ring events of the stampede to
Dawson.
After several months of nego

collection, had prints made, and
isked Andrew Nerland, president
pf the Board of Regents of the
Jniversity and early-day resident
pf Dawson, to select the pictures
vhich were historically impor
;ant. Nerland asked President
Smei’itus Charles Bunnell to help
lim. Seventy photographs were
selected. These Selid had made
nto studio enlargements and
properly mounted for display.
This collection of 500 negatives
ind the 70 studio prints, was pre
sented to the University of Alaska
ay Selid. The prints will be used
is a travelling display for the
[Jniversity of Alaska and will be
exhibited in all Alaskan commun

tions to display the Selid collec
