Sheep Raising Spurred
by Advance in Prices


"The farmer who has the equipment
and feeds at hand should be encour-
aged In raising lambs" says Phil A.
! Anderson of the animal husbandry d.
vision, University OF Minnesota. but
farmers entering this field should go
slowly al first and study the require
ments very thoroughly" he adds.
Mr.. Anderson makes the foregoing
statement In view Of the greatly In
creased interest exhibited In sheep pro-
ductIon the last few months. which has
been brought about by advancing
prices for wool, a steady lamb market
and good profits made In feeding lambs
during 19~21-1922.
Stocks OF wool. which accumulated
during the war and Immediately after,
have now been converted into merchan.
disc. Manufacturers short OF mill sup
plies and eager to keep the mills going
have become anxious to buy. causing
the price TO go up.
Prices Of lambs have been at So to
x15 pei 100 pounds for n long time.
with a variation of 80 to $3.50 for
shorn lambs says Professor Anderson.
Such prices should be an inducement
for many farmers to have focks Of Is
70 IS ewes or more which will consume
green food perhaps otherwise wasted
and convert II into a marketable
product. With wool and market stock
high In price, because Of a decrease in
the number Of sheep In the United
States and the action Of the new pro-
fective tarifY. our sheep breeders can
compete with the breeders Of
other countries"

 CHILLING BY FAIRBANKS PAPER

FAIRBANKS, April 21.-Comment ing on the anti-educational activities of Senator M D. Snodgrass at Juneau the News Miner says:
 Thus Senator Snodgrass of the Fourth Division is on record in the Legislature against literacy in four ways-first, for illiterates who can neither read nor write English yot. ing, in Alaska, and organizing their own munie qualities and running them on a par with literate munici. palities. @t F
 Second d-Against the payment of sufficient salaries to competent Su- pefintendents of Education in Al. aska.
 "Third-Against the Alaska college having possession and control of it's pay it's own bills until they have been sent to Juneau and acted upon there.
 "Fourth-,Against the right which at least 30,000 college presidents pos sess to select their own teaching force out of their experience and op- portunities and delegating that right to the college trustees who are all political arpointees and of whom there might not be one who was ever inside a college in the pursuit of education.
 If Senator Saodgrass, in thus seek ing to handicap educational facilities and requirements in Alaska, repre- sents in spirit or in truth the people of this district who sont him to Ju- neau as to their ideas of education, the oldest newspaper in the Interior has spent 20 years here without hear. ing from any other man any incl. cation he is for such propaganda UT work.

CHARGES FALSE SAYS REPORTER;
 LIE IS PASSED
Folta Challenges Rustgard's $
 'Word-Countercharges i Made by Reporter.

The charge os attorney General Rustgard that a part of the data on the recent transportation hearings had been obtained from him under false pretense by reporter taking the testimony, was categorically de- nied yesterday afternoon in letter to President Hunt. of the Senate, and Cash Cole, Speaker of the House, written by G. w. Folta, the reporter mentioned by MT Rustgard. MT. Folta not only denied that he had been guilty of deception, but if there was any deceit practiced, the Attor- ney General is the guilty party.
 The communication of Mr. Folta, giving in detail the circumstances surrounding the taking of testimony and preparation of the record of the hearings, follows:
 'I have just been apprised of the contents of the letter addressed to you by MT Rustgard about my al legged deception in connection with the typewriter record of the hearing held before the Transportation Com mittee on the question of rates and practices of steamship companies as affecting Alaska, and as it seems to be such a deliberate attempt to mis- lead your body that l wish to make it known that l would welcome an investigation.

 "When I was asked to report the hearings 1 made no inquiry as to who was to pay me, as I have learned that an employer hires no employee without intending to pay him and left this to be ascertained at the compile tion of my services. During the preparation of the record no one in quired about 1t except Mir Rustgard, who by his inquiries and remarks certainly led me to believe that the Territory was to pay for the report at least in part, especially since no one representing the steamship com- panies made any inquiry whatever about the record.

Many companies, he added. have been un- able to secure financial aid and are bankrupt, out of business entirely.
 He went into detail regarding eau nery operations and denied the ale gation made at a former hearing that the canneries had added nothing 10 the industrial growth of the Ter.i- tory. He said ketchlkan today is booming, it's sawmills working large crews in the mills and woods, ani other businesses and industries there active as the result of cannery oper- ations.
 Answering the question of why can ners continued to operate if they are losing money. he said those who can do so, are packing each year to protect their investment. which in some instances Is of material value. They continue to put up pack each year hoping to recuperate their losses. Speaking for himself, he add ed he would dispose of his cannery interests if he could find someone
 who would give 50 cents on the dol
 lar for his investment.
