HIGH PRICES FOR FEED
FOR DOGS OF INTERIOR

The natives and residents of the In
terror are complaining bitterly be-
cause the canneries and fishermen on
the lower Copper river are shutting
out the fish from ascending the river,
and there will be none to put UP for
feed this winter. Dog feed Is being
freighted In from Valdez and sold at
Is cents per pound to Interior resi-
dents. This is an almost prohlbitive
price. and 1t Is feared that the ami
mails will have to be killed before the
winter is over IL the run OF FISH does
not materialize. Much suffering was
entailed last year on account of the
fish being prevented from ascending
the river many natives being caught
without sufficient food for themselves
or dogs-Valdez Miner.

The following are answers to some
q the questions that We have been
asked gasskIed with reference "a the flour
survey, and We assume you have
been asked the same. questions, the
inf ion may Be helpful to you:
9. Why is the -four survey nader
The flour survey is made be-
cause it Is absolutely essential that
the government know whore ali the
flour IS in the country. It can read
lily been seen that the -four from
q, ooo, 900 Or $4,000, 900 bushels Of
wheat, or from 10 to 20 lbs. Of flour
per capita could easily be lost in the
-four bins Of America, and no one
know where it is. Our surplus is
likely to be very low just before our
new crop becomes available. Is s. !
Q. Is everyone whether he has a
surplus Of -four or: not: required to
report Ii. .s:s & II: TT > .":.
A. We consider a complete survey,
including a report from everyone, de-
sirabk and recommend that every
one report. 5s -: r ri
G. What shall be done with bro
ken packages? :. T.: 49,. -, -.
A.. We believe it is best to leave
all broken packages with the con-
sumner: asking only for a report.
Those having more than >30-day
supply in broken packages should
hold same subject to the order of
the County Food Administrator.
@. What shall be done where mer-
chants are over-supplied and cannot
take the returned flour?
A. We believe it is best in such
cases for the holder of the flour to
report to County Food Administra-
tor, and for the Countw Food Ad-
ministrator to issue him a certificate
stating specifically the amount of
flour, the amount that the family
may use each month, and that the
balance must be held subject to the
order of the Food Administration.
Q. What shall be done with flour
held in grain sacks?
A. This should be listed, as above
indicated, and held by the consumer
| subject to order.
MAKE w.s.s. PLEDGES
Sugar for all requirements for
canning purposes will be furnished
to consumers under the direction of
the food administration it was an
nounced this week, under a modified
certificate system, that permits the
dealer to sell sugar in reasonable
amounts upon securing signed
statement that that sugar will be
used for canning and preserving only
and that any surplus acquired that
is not used for that purpose will be
turned back at the close of the can
ming season. -.
Certificates that will permit the
sale of sugar under this system will
be furnished to the retailers of the
state within the next 10 days and it
is hoped will supply an adequate a.
mount of sugar for the hoped for
extensive demand for home canning
purposes, and at the same time hold
the use of sugar down to a point
that will prevent complete exhaus-
ton Of the supply during the peak
consumption during the summer
months.
The rules governing the use of
sugar for regular purposes are not
changed in any respect-and limit
the per capita consumption of sugar
to 3 pounds per month, and pur-
chases to 5 pounds in the cities and
villages and 10 pounds in the country.
