A. H. Range Enters the Crab Canning
 Industry at Sitka

The Oregon-Alaska Packing company. recently incorporated at Portland, Ore., has leased the cannery of the Sitka Packing Con- pany, Sitka, Alaska, with the in- tention of canning crab meat dur ing the winter.
 The new company is capitalized at $50, GOO, and is headed by A. H. Range, with R. J. Huntington as vice-president and Laurence Vincent. secretary-treasurer. MT. Range has been for some years with the American Can Company at Portland, Ore., and for several years was superintendent of a salmon cannery in Kamchatka. He has done considerable experi. menting with crab meat, and con- trols patents on pneumatic pro- cess of extracting the meat from the shells, having purchased an old patent and taken out a new one on an invention of his own. Mir. Vincent has been accountant for the Canoe Pass Packing Con- pany, and Mir. Huntington has been associated with the Otis Elevator Company.
 MT. Range left for Sitka late in October, accompanied by his son, to install the necessary ma chinery, which is in some ways different from that used in can- ming salmon. The others left early this month, and all will take an active part in the work of the cannery. It is expected that packing will start by the end of November. The extra equipment in addition to the shelling ma chinery, includes three Henninger & Ayes upright retorts and half fiat double seamers, giving ca pacity of about 100 cases day. Frames for crab pots have also been taken up, these being 2x2x3K it., covered with poultry wire.
 The pack will be put up in Col umbia River halves, with some in lib. flats, and will be packed in enameled cans, the meat being wrapped in vegetable parchment. It will be attractively labeled with the "Orlasco" brand.
 MT. Range states that there are plenty of the American crabs Gamer ma,qlsfty) in the Sitka dis trict, and that many of the Jap anese spider crabs are also brought up by halibut fishermen. While the former are superior in texture and flavor, he expects to pack both varieties, as he believes it will be possible to induce the halibut fishermen to bring them in.

Some Ministers Try to Draw Atten-

next year / am going to plant about 5
acres to the plow and put the rows
or 6 feet apart. And / am going to
make another experiment. In one OF
the fields l had field of tobacco along
side a field of cotton. Five rows way
fl ON the tobacco field the weevils did
not touch the cotton, although they
were playing havoc with the top crop
all over the other part Of the field.
gathered all the tobacco and cut the
stalks and raked them up. In few
days the weevils were just as thick in
the cotton next to the tobacco field as
they were anywhere else in the field.
Next year l am going to experiment
with six rows of cotton and two rows
Of tobacco. In addition to this / am
going to plant a couple Of rows of to-
bacco all around the cotton. There
may not be anything in it and 1 would
not advise anybody to plant full crop
under these conditions with the ex-
pectation Of getting a normal yield.
But | believe from what I have seen
this year that, the experiment is worth
trying"
Another BofI WeeviI Remedy.
THE boil weevil," said w. E. Cald-
well, manager of the Southern Oil
Co., reminds me of the time when
the flu was raging all over the coun-
try. Every other man you met had
remedy, but somehow the flu kept on
raging and took it's toll of death before
it wore itself out. l fancy 1t is going
to be that way with the boil weevil.
1t is not coming; it is here and next
year there won't be enough cotton
made in the county, provided we do
not change our methods of farming, to
clothe an orphan boy. Various ways
of combating the boil weevil are sug-
gested; some Of them appear to be
practical while others are visionary. A
man who owns quite n lot Of cotton
land in Georgia told me few days ago
that one man down there had a plan
which so far had been effective. The
boil -weevil did not seem to cut his
yield down 60 any great extent and his
neighbors began to investigate and
found that he completely surrounded
his cotton with fields of corn and on
the outside of the corn he planted
enough cotton for the weevils to feed
on. His theory was that the Dol!
weevil does not fly very high and
wReS he left a patch of cotton looking
for now fields-to destroy and got into
the corn he turned back. Anyway, this
man claimed that the plan was sue
cessful and other farmers had adopted
it. But ! am passing this story along
for what it Is worth. I don't want
anybody to plant a normal acreage
under this plan and then expect to
make full crop. The best way to
fight the boil weevil is TO quit planting
cotton. but we can't do this until we
find some other crop. 1t appears to
me that it would be a good idea to get
farmers, merchants, bankers and all
other persons interested in the we'll
fare of the country into meeting and
decide on some definite plan of action.
If we could get enough farmers to
agree to plant certain number Of
acres OF peanuts we could change the
machinery at the oil mill and crush
peanuts. But these things can't be
done unless we get together and
agree on something"

was higher than ones waist and
which did not have Il single boil upon

tire boil up in many cases. Those
pCop,c have realized that the only
thing for them to do is to simply quit
trying to produce cotton because there
is no way under the sun to combat the

cd there was not as large as in Allen

learned that the wcCvil is going to
clean up York county just as it has
