REINDEER VS.. REEE.

Alaska is acquiring surplus OF
reindeer meat and is likely to enter
the American market one of these
days as a factor in the food supply
Sheldon Jackson's experiment has
succeeded. 1t is possible that rein
deer chops may not prove acceptable
to the national palate and various
other objections to the extension OF
the reindeer industry may be discov
cred, but the fact that Alaska is actu
ally in a position to raise food for ex.
port is interesting nevertheless
Alaska is about twice the size o.
Texas, and while not all of it is rein,
deer territory, still there are immense
areas available for that business, II
1t ever becomes business in com,
mercial sense, and that is only the be
ginning of the possibilities. The rein.
deer belt Is circumpolar, so that the
thought Of what may happen is some
Col Mulberry Sellers himself, and the
reality behind the possibilities is con
siderably more substantial than the
foundations of that celebrated gentle

Enthusiastically minded economists will

starvation, but the truth is that the
