GOVERN AIDS REINDEER
INDUSTRY IN FAR ALASKA

When Alaska becomes so cold that
an ordinary Jersey cow would freeze
solid without struggle, the reindeer
blows cloud of steam over his shout
der and wonders when there'l1 be an
end to the muggy weather. Nor is
the reindeer dependent upon corn
filed silos and cotton-seed meal for
his winter ration. He asks only
chance to get out on the frosty bar
rem, where he can scrape the snow
from the frozen moss, and he'll OBJ
tain his own ration for the long eight
months of cold weather. These are
the attributes which make the rein
deer the domestic animal Of the ma
tives OF Alaska, to whom some form
of animal industry is essential
Realizing the economic Importance
of this unique animal, the Bureau of
Biological Survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, has estab-
Hshed an experimental station at
Una1akleet, Alaska. The new station
has grazing expert and veterin-
arian in its personnel and it is sup
piled with a well-equipped laboratory.
Its primary purpose is to serve the
reindeer industry by assisting the
the owners to rid their herds of par
asitic pests which have inflicted con-
siderable damage heretofore, and to
obtain better utilization of the pas
| turage by regulating the grazing
lands Crowding the herds into linn
tied areas has encouraged the devel-
| opment of parasites and has lesseneo
| the RENDERS food supply Reports
received by the department indicate
| that the new station is already cor
| recting these troubles. It is expected
| that a bulletin on the reindeer indus
| try viii be issued in a few months

UNMARRIED BY PLOW'S TOUCH
Rolling Plains Scene of Great Beauty
Before the Advent OF the
Agr1cuiturist.

Seventy years ago Indians were
Indians. and the plains were the plains
indeed.
Those plains stretched out in limit
less rolling swells of prairie until they
met the blue sky that on every hand
bent down to touch them. In spring
brightly green, and spangled with wild
flowers, by midsummer this prairie
had grown sere and yellow. Clumps
of dark-green cottonwoods marked the
courses Of the infrequent streams
for most of the year the only note of
color in the landscape. except the bril-
liant sky. On the wide, level river
bottoms, sheltered by the enclosing
hills. the Indians pitched their conical
skin lodges and lived their simple
lives. If the camp were large the
lodges stood in a wide circle, but If
only a few families were together, they
were scattered along the stream.
In the spring and early summer the
rivers, swollen by the melting SHOWS,
were often deep and rapid, but a little
later they shrank to a few narrow
trickles running over a bed of sand
and sometimes the water sank wholly
out of sight--George Bird Grinneil.

KANSAS STATE FARM NEWS

Manhattan, Kans-vJanuarys 10-The
farm bureau of Kansas, cooperating
with N. L. Harris, extension poultry
specialist of Kansas State Agricul-
turaI College, saved the state more
than 81 ,OO0,0 last year In poultry
cuIIing alone, according to figures
compiled by Mr. Harris. Forty-eight
county farm bureaus put on poultry
cuI1ing campaigns, resulting in the
marketing of 650,OOO non-1aying
hens Mr.. Harris estimate that un-
der farm conditions the cost of main
tanning hen for year is 81 This
would put the saving at about 81 ,300,-
900, in the forty-eight counties where
it was carried on. Forty-eight coun-
ty agents and six home demonstra-
ton agents cooperate with Mr.. Har-
ris in putting on this campaign.
Kansas State Farm Bureau is MAX
ing preparations to send out reports
on live stock census of Kansas made
recently. The x. S. F. B., co-operat-
ing with the Kansas State Board of
Agriculture, the Bureau of Crop Es-
Inmates, and the Kansas Live Stock
Association, recently sent out Ques-
tionnaires to 10000 farmers in Kan
sas, asking them to report the num-
Der Of live stock On farms, and the
number that would probably be seek
ing market each month during the
winter. The bureau refused to dis
close the figures obtained, saying
these would not be published until
they had been placed in the hands Oh
the farmers. One Of the chief COM
plants against the government re-
porting service, it is claimed, is the
fact that other interests obtain the
figures and make use of them before
they are available to the farmers.
A legislative committee to look af-
ter the interests of farmers will be on
the job at Topeka during the present
session of the legislature, according
to the executive board of Kansas
State Farm Bureau, which was in ses-
sion here last week The Kansas
State Farm Bureau appointed leg
is1ative committee to scrutinize al
| bills and see that the interest of farm

Resolved, That in every way pos
sible, after thought and careful in
vestigation, the utmost publicity be
given to the history and the real pur-
poses of the non-partisan league and
its self-appointed leaders, and that
as a state we may be saved the hum1-

otherwise, to the end that the people
of this state shall not be nnislead by
false prophets; and that as a state
we may be saved the humiliation and

have been accepted; and, be it further
Resolved, That we now individually
and as an organization renew our
pledge of allegiance to the govern

shaken belief in those policies and
principles upon which have been
builded the greatest nation of earth
