Over 100000 Alaska Reindeer;
Their Meat viii Be Marketed

Sixty tons of dressed reindeer meat
were recently marketed in the States.
This meat is quite tender and, although
it has the taste of wild game, 1t is as
good as beef. says the San Francisco
Chronicle. The reindeer weighs, on an
average. about $50 pounds, dressed.
Carl Albertson of Nome estimates that
there are over 100000 reindeer in
Alaska and that herds aggregating
$4,000 have been purchased and will be
marketed.
The government imports reindeer
from Siberia. OF the large herds now
in the territory, some 1900 are owned
by natives, representing money value
of approximately $1,600,0O0.
The reindeer live on lichens which
would otherwise be valueless, and
there are no expenses attached to their
maintenance beyond the labor of herd
ing and the cost of sheltering and
but:hcring

Consumption of Oranges Is
Increased by Juice Stands.

Attributing the large orange con-
sumption this season to the increased
demands made on the crop by the thou
sands of orange juice stands that have
sprung up throughout the United
States in the last year, the Fruit World
says: "The worldwide shortage Of
sugar, estimated at approximately q
100000 tons annually since the war
began, has caused the restriction of
sugar consumption in the manufacture
of many of the popular drinks. This
has increased the consumption of or
anges this year and has created
greater market activity in spite of the
abnormally high prices caused by the
crop shortage following the heat wave
one year ago last June. And so the or
ange drink stands have alleviated the
demand on the sugar supply but also
have increased the demands on short
ened orange CROP"
