CROP ACREAGE CONTROL
Every year following the produc
tion of a large surplus of any farm
crop much is heard of plans for re
ducing the acreage of that crop. But
as a rule this agitation doesn’t amount
to anything.
Each farmer regulates liis own plant
ing to suit himself and does not seem
likely that any concerted movement
for controlling the individual in this
matter will ever meet with much suc
cess.
One psychological effect of crop
reduction campaigns is pointed out
by P. O. Davis, editor of the Exten
sion Service in Alabama, writing of
the proposal to cut cotton acreage
in the South in 1926. His observa
tions apply with equal force to other
crops. He says:
“Attacking cotton is a mistake. A
great many farmers decide to plant
as much or more cotton, thinking
that others have decided to reduce,
and that as a result the crop will be
smaller and the price higher.
nt? auvist'b, uiei eiui tr,
question of acreage be ignored, but
that each farmer be urged to raise
his own ofod, stock feed and every
thing needed for home use. Then
by the adoption of economical meth
ods in producing his main crop, he
will have a good chance of showing
a satisfactory profit at the end of the
year, regardless of the acreage or
yield.
Seward should have representation

pUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old ago
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to have these
fear* eliminated from your life^-to know that you
were shielded by a complete cirele of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com
mitting you to any action.

year. The last legislature showed the
fallacy of depending upon our neigh
bors for needed legislation, and again
this year we are hanging back and
letting George do it, which means
that nothing will be done. At the
closing of the filings but one man had
filed from Seward for the House. An
chorage has half a dozen candidates
and the majority of them are certain
of election.
NO LIFE IS SAFE
Discussion of crime and the appar
j ent inability of officials to deal with
| it has occupied much space in the
public prints for a long time. It may
be that the discussion is becoming
tiresome to readers. But the contin
ued menace of thugs and killers is
even more tiresome and the public
must be awakened to this national
menace.
Gradually it appears to be dawn
ing upon the straight-thinking por
tion of the people that while many
j factors contribute to the prevalence
| of serious crime, failure to promptly
| and adequately punish bandits and
| murderers lies at the root of the
J whole matter.
| Of 205 murderers in Cleveland,
S only two were sentenced to death,
j Of 10S in Chicago, only one was
I hanged. Other cities show a similar
shocking condition of affairs.
While it is a terrible thing to take
human life, even through a legal ex
ecution, it is not so terrible as it is
to permit innocent persons to be
slaughtered at the rate of more than
10,000 a year in the United States.
Until the people shall rise up and
demand a reform of criminal proced
j ure in this country, no life is safe.
An exchange asks why prohibition
is a failure. To our way of think
ing prohibition had not done so much
to increase the drinking habit as have
decisions of the courts. A large num
! ber of judges and attorneys are
| against the Volstead act and any tes
timony bearing on the guilt of the ac
cused must be harmless to get before
a jury. Were we to start on enforc
ing the prohibition act, we would
start on the courts first.
From the testimony before the Sen
ate committee one -would judge that
there are no persons in Alaska com
petent to fill the offices. Therefore
we must import sacrosanct politicians
from the states.
Old timers are becomming some
what amazed at the continued good
weather. A few more weeks and
; winter will merge into the lap of
! spring and our troubles will be over
I for another six months.
An eminent pathologist calls atten
| tion to the dangers of petting parties,
declaring that pyorrhea and other
mouth diseases are spread by this per
nicious habit. Most of us would wil
lingly have pyorrhea if we could pick
the perso#n to spread the disease.
While Sheriff Maddox of Abbe
ville, Ala., was destroying a still,
a moonshiner slashed his auto top to
i ribbons, cut off three tires, threw his
! switch key away and escaped.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains,
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and,- that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
