AIaska's salmon output last year was
4.592,20l cases, the smallest since
1915. The hgh-water mark Of Alaska's
salmon years came In 1918 when, in
response to a war call for food, the
canneries sent 6,GG7 500 cases out.
Most OF the salmon are packed in
southeastern Alaska, a strip Of terri
tory that iuts south between northern

fisheries turned out 3,10S364 cases,
against 775,557 from central Alaska
and 70S,2S0 from EAR western Alaska

tend from Cape st. Elias westward to

SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE
Specialist Has Been Detailed to
Bring to This Country Enemy of
Horticultural Pest.

The Japanese beetle is going to have
its old enemies on it's trail in this
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has sent a man to
Japan to find those enemies and send
them across the ocean. They will
then be established in the sections of
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained a foothold, and they are ex-
pected to aid greatly in the control of
the pest.
The agent employed in Japan is
familiar with japanese conditions and
Is a specialist in this kind of work. 1t
is expected that the task will require
his sojourn in Japan for two or three
years. While something is known of
the parasites Of the Japanese beetle
a great deal is still to be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon it. The beetle reached this
country with importations of green
house plants, and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo-
lestations by natural enemies.

WHAT THEY WANT

Oh the flowers are blooming in Dixie,
The skies are as blue as can be,
And the cotton is bursting with softness,
Just as far as the vision can see.
1t wonderful place to be happy,
With the banjos at twilight in June,
While the Race folks are dancing their break
downs,
By the light of soft Southern moon.
They dance, though their hearts may be
aching;
They laugh with their eyes full of tears,
While their souls burn with righteous re-
sentiment
At the bitter injustice of years.
DiXie's theirs, so why should they leave it?
The taters, the cotton, the corn,
All tended by hands brown and loving,
Since the day that the southland was born.
Jim-crowed segregated, disfranchised,
Fighting hard to hold fast what they've
won,
And this meath the folds Of the banner
That they helped to keep clean from the
Hun.
How soon is forgotten their courage
The sacrifice fare that they made;
There s debt Uncle Sam is still owing
TO the Race, that can never be paid
Oh, the flowers are blooming in Dixie,
AS they ought to be blooming today
In the heart of each Race man and woman,
TO drive all the heartache away.
What they need in the South ism t franchise,
Nor things manufactured above;
Nor pity nor half4hearted tolerance,
But plain everyday bretherly love.
