TO NUMBER FUR SEALS
Dr.. Dallas Hanna viii Make New
Census.
Purpose 10 to Determine How Many
Seals Can De Removed
Each Year.

San Francisco.-Dr. G. Dallas Han
ma, a member of the staff of the Cali
| fornia Academy of Science, has just
left here for Alaska, where he will
make a census Of the fur seals on the
Pribiloff islands, under the direc-
ton Of the United States bureau Of
fisheries.
Doctor Hanna has been connected
with this work each year since 1913.
In 1919 it was reported that there
were $4,000 animals In the herd. In
1910 when the government first took
over the operation Of the island in
dustry, there were fewer than 1000.
During the time when this increase
was taking place enough surplus and
useless males have been killed and
their skins sold at auction to provide
the national treasury, with $3,5OO,OOO
above all expenses, according to w.
w. Sergeant, secretary Of the Cali
fOrnia Academy Of Science.
The purpose of fhe census is chiefly
to determine how many animals can
be safely removed each year and still
provide for a maximum percentage Of
increase Of the herd. If the increase
in 1920 continues as heretofore. it is
said that there should he about 100000
Of these amphibious fur bearers, by
far the largest herd in existence, as
we'll as a surplus of about 10000 males
which can he killed for their skins.
At current prices of these furs they
will be valued at about 100000.
"Since the cost Of operation will be
less than 100000, it is quite evident
that this industry is one OF the best
financial enterprises the. government
has" said Mr.. Sergeant.
ut is capable Of almost unlimited
protected at sea and the surplus males
are removed from the herd. The fight
ing of such males on the crowded rook
cries causes large mortality among
the females and young.
"The carcaSses Of the animals killed
were formerly allowed to waste, but
last year a by-product plan was put
into operation by means of which it
is expected Il very superior oil and
animal meal will be placed on the
market The census wlMch will be
taken in 1920 will enable close ap-
Proclamation to be made of the guam
titles Of these products which will
be available in the immediate future"

WARNS OF TIMBER FAMINE

Boston. June "A famine in timber
and its products, including print pa
per, unless immediate and far-reach-
ing stel 6 are taken for forest conser-
walton, was predicted today by c.
Price-Green of Toronto, Industrial
Commissioner of the Canadian Nation
al Railway, in an address before the
National Editorial Association.
He said there was danger that
many newspapers might have to sus-
pend publication soon for lack of
white paper. The United States. said
Mr.. Price-Green, is using One-half the
worlds supply Of white paper, con-
sumption in this country amounting
TO 5,500,000 cords of pulp-wOOd year
ly.
"The newspapers of New York City
alone consume the equivalent of over
1000 spruce trees daily" he continu-
cd "The United States consumes 80
OOO00O.OOO feet a year, board meas
ure. for wood and for all other pur-
poses, it takes fully 100000.00O00
feet a year to supply its requirements.
eighty per cent of the standing
timber is privately own
ed and % per cent of the annual cut
comes from these forests. The total Of
this standing timber, representing
in excess of 2,500,000,O 0,O09,
COO feet, will, in the opinion of.the au-
at the present rate Of cut
ting, be exhausted within fifty years.
"The United States cannot look to
Canada for any alienation Of her sit
nation with respect to sawn lumber.
This year we shall supply in one form
IF another over one-haf the demand
If the United States market.
MANY firms are establishing in
canada, and many more will come. As
ar as the paper supply is concerned, l /

REPRESENTATIVE INTERESTED AND is
TRYING TO OBTAIN SOME FOR USE
OF DELAWARE FARMERS.
RELEASE OF 100000 TONS
NOT LESS THAN ONE OR MORE THAN
ONE HUNDRED WILL Be SOLD
TO ANY PURCHASER.

Representative Caleb r. Layton has
received a reply from Major General
O. C. Williams. Chief of Ordnance.
United States Army in regard to the
matter of surplus sodium nitrate held
by the army, which under a joint res
olutiOn authorizing the War Depart
ment to dispose Of the surplus amount
ing to about 100000 tons Of this com
mundi = to the farmers Of the coun-
try.
Representative Layton has taken
interest in this matter in the hopes Of
being able to obtain some on this
surplus material for the farmers Of
Delaware While the resolution was
under discussion in the House Repre-
sentative Layton participated in the
debate on the subject on several occa-
sions
Major General Williams letter to
DR.. Layton on the subject in part
said:
In accordance with your request
you are advised that the distribution
of 100000 tons of sodium nitrate au-
thorized by joint resolution No. $50 is
being effected for the War Depart
ment by II. J. Baker & Bro, Vessel
Duval Company, and w r. Grace &
Company, all Of New YORK City, act
il as agents.
You will realize that the 100000
tons of sodium nitrate constitutes the
War Reserve, the depletion of which
would be Of serious consequence for
this government in case of an emer-
gency. At the present time this gov
ernment depends upon shipments of
nitrate from Chile, and in case of al
interruption to ocean traffic serious con-
sequences would result. With thi.
thought in mind and in accordance
with the authority given in the Joint
Resolution, the replacement Of all nj
trate sold from the authorized reserve
was provided for
This surplus Of nitrate will be re-
leased from the following points Mt
Union. Pa. Nitro. w Va. Hopewell,
Va, Brunswick, Ga. Jacksonville, Fla. .
and a number Of other points in the
South
The War Department announces
the selling price of this nitrate at
$500 per short ton, f. o. b. point of
The department states that
at this price there will be neither
profit nor loss in the transaction. Not
less than one ton or more than 100
tons will be sold to any purchaser.
This material can be purchased
through the selling agents in New
York as stated above.
