FUR INDUSTRY OF ALASKA
 SUFFERS IN AeCOMPARISON

During Inc ear 1925 Alaska shipped -furs ro the value of S2a15. 5.62tgf<. To most of Us this seems Hket bit of money. but before We tuck our thumbs in our vest pock- cts and deelaim the wide world what a fine fur.eountry we live in let's gake peek at what sonle.o the other States are doing
 Pennsylvania is ene-thirteenth as large as Alaska. She is gutted with eoal mines puactured full of oil wells, extensively cultivated to farm pro- lucts, and roaring with iron and steel industries Every foot of her is ac- cessible to t6e tcanaping feet of her ten millanz inhabitants. Pennsyl- vania's fur catch for 1925 amounted to s .00e.Q0a ''Incrediblem we gasp. as. our chest dedates itself, but it is true as cotd-blooded statistics can be. Square mile for square mle Pennsvl- vania produced fifteen dollars To every )ne produced by Alaska fur. And she lid 1t with iow-grade pelts, like musk ats. skuuBs. .raeoons, wildcats and southerH gray foxes, while we have silver ghite foxEs, cross and blue foxes, nal5en,. beaver, otter and lynx, averaging at least three times as many eteltags peg peIt srs the skins produced ia Pt &sylvania
 Alaska is twelve times larger than Louisiana. Louisiana runs extensive " t. eotton fields, sugar cane, water melons and lazy da1kies And yet, turing the year 1925 she produced S6S30,o 900 in futst Square mile per square mile she produced thirty-one dollars where we produced one. She did this with muskrats at approxi- mately six bits per pelt. Laugh that off, you reactianaries who think Alaska is d fur country and who think our laws are. getting too stringent.
 Many other States, in fact most all other States in the Union, can show us up in a similarly sorry light. h. stead of serving as g. model for other States to copy, we stand far better chance of being taken as horrible example of how not to do things.

Plant Tomatoes
By Machinery
Labor Saving Device Used
When Quantity
Transplanting
Many Fields to Be Planted

Such strides are being made
yearly in labor-saving machinery
for the farm that quantity pro-
duction will soon become the ac-
cepted thing. A demonstration
on the Charles Kirby farm at
Mullica Hill showed the POSSIBLE
tiles of the new tomato-transplant
machine. Two makes we're on
exhibition, and the 200 interested
farmers assembled had an enter
tanning time with the new toy.
One machine boosted a check-row
attachment similar to the check
on a corn planter.
Scarcity of labor and the ia
vorable prospect for canhouse to-
matoes has increased interest in
the transplanters. Although they
are locally a novelty, many sweet
potato growers in the Vineland
district have used similar inven-
lions successfully, and the tobac-
co fields of Pennsylvania also are
adopting the machines. 1t is ex-
pected that many a South Jersey
tomato field this season will be
planted by machine, thus adding
to the farmers growing ability to
work his acres without depending
too heavily on human labor.
