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. McMillan's
