II LEXINGTON, OREGON, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 22, 1906 NO. 9 EX RAISES WHEAT NEAR ARfIC CIRCLE Man in Charge of United States Experiment Station Will Exhibit Agricultural Products at Alaska-Yukon Pacific Exposition. Seattle, Nov. 19 Mrs. F. E. Rad er, whose husband is In charge of the United States experiment station at Rampart, Alaska, just one degree south of the artic circle, was a recent visitor In this city, ani told surprising facts regarding the agricultural possi bilities of the extreme Northland. At the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo sition, which Is to be held in Seattle In 1909, there will be a most Interest ing exhibit of the results of Mr. . Rad- er's experiments In the far north. The exposition will show the people that there Is more to Alaska than glaciers a id Ice-bergs ; "We are experimenting principally with grains In an effort to produce va rieties that mature before winter sets In," she said. "The grain seeds we use are hardy varieties from Russia and Finland. "All hardy vegetables such &s car rots' parsnips, rutabagas, potatoes -and even peas can be raised successfully, Last year my husband succeeded . in raising string beans, and many of the pods were seven inches in length. "Potatoes are among the most suc cessful crops we have up there. Cap tain Mayo, who lives at Rampart, has been growing potatoes since 1 872. "There are two grains which are being grown with much success in our oca'ity, a variety of wheat from Kar koff, Russia, which is planted In the ' fall, and Finnish black oats, which are planted In the spring. The crops sel dom fall." A cold taken at this time of the year is generally hard to get rid of but it will not be able to withstand Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar. That will cure all colds, coughs, croup, whooping cough, etc, by driving them out through the bowels. If you have a cold, try it and if not cured get your money back. No opiates. Sold by W. P.
