Added Proft-$21'o5
From Each Acre of Winter Wheat

HERE are facts-nOt claims. Facts
H you can check. Facts told by
wheat growers right close by.
Maybe you know Mr.. Howard HI.
Fitz, r. F. d. No. 6, York, York
County, Pa. Here is what he saws in
a letter dated July Is, 1927:
"FOr2OyearsI haveused'AA
Fertilizer. This year my wheat yield
was 35 bushels to the acre-I5 bushels
more than some of the yields obtained
IN nearby sectiOns-and the quality of
the grain was exceptionally fine. the
kind that is sold for seeding purpOses.''
Mr.. Fitz sold his wheat at a premium
of 10 cents because of extra quality,
and this, together with the increased
yield, gave him an added profit of
$2I.O5 per acre. For his I8-acre crop
this means a total extra profit of
$378.9O.
Farmers who want to make real
profit on wheat cannot afford to read
statements like Mr.. Fitz's, say ''That
sounds interesting" and let it 90 at
that. Here is real chance to increase
your profits. Mr.. Fits extra profit
with ''AA QUALITY" Fertilizer is not
an exception. Read in the next col
umn a few of hundreds of similar
letters. Could anything be fairer?

REINDEER HAVE RAISED
EsKIM0S FROM NOMAD
HUNTERS TO HERDERs

NoME-Alaska's reindeer herds,
which began with the importation
Of a few animals from Siberia in
1890. have increased to more than
631,000 animals.
Latest estimates sent to the Alas
ka division Of the Bureau of Educa-
ton show that more than 128,o0O
reindeer are owned by the Il native
cooperative organizations developed
by the Eskimos.
Early in the development of the
reindeer business the natives found
there was a decided advantage in
the consolidation of their herds.
Cooperative organizations patterned
after the government cooperative
stores in the territory soon resulted
The cooperative consolidated the
herds under a common brand, work
was divided and sales were made
from the general herd, the money be
ing put into a fund which was di-
Yided at given periods.
In the Kuskokwim district, near
Akiak, one of the largest roundups
in the history of the territory has
been conducted to count the animals
and determine ownership prerara-
tory to the formation of two add
tional cooperative companies, one
an Eskimo organization 10 run some
$4,000 animals and the other an or
ganization Of Laplanders to run 25,-
600 deer. The 1928 count in the
other districts will be made during
the annual roundups in May.
Because of the rapid increase in
herds and large consultations it has
been necessary for the secretary of
the interior to obtain legislation Civ
ing him power to define grazing
districts to prevent disputes over
range.
The reindeer service has become
an important part of the educational
system of the territory, the raising
of reindeer being the form of indus
trial education best adapted to the
Eskimos. Within less than gener-
alton the natives advanced through
an entire stage of civilization, the
herds raising the Eskimos from no
madie hunters to herders.
It is estimated that there are more
than 100000 square miles Of tree
less region which could provide pas
turage for 100000 reindeer. The
herds have already increased beyond
the demands of the natives and the
present problem is that of finding an
outside market for the meat. Com
panies have erected cold storage ia
cilities and are shipping increasing
amounts of meat to the outside mar
kets.

ESKIMO VERSION OF
TWENTY THIRD PSALM

The following story was told on
the late DR.. S. Hall Young in the
Alaska-Yukon Magazine of 20 years
ago:
It seems that the missionary. Rev.
S. Hall Young, D. D., had much trou-
Bile in trying to impress the Fski-
mos. among whom he worked, with
the beauty and sublimity of the
twenty-third psalm. Realizing the
need of an Interpreter, since he him
self was ignorant of the native Ian
guage, he employed boy who could
speak some English, to put the TWEEN
ty-third psalm into Eskimo tongue.
This being done, the Rev. DR.. waited
expectantly to see the sublime eff
fects of this noble psalm radiating
from the beaming countenanees of
his little flock. But the sublimity
did not seem to have struck home.
There was no CLEAN of appreciation
in the eyes of the little Eskimo. The
version gotten up regardless of ex-
pense for the little heathen's benefit
was a dead failure. He listened to
it once, shook his head, as much as
to say, none of that in mine, and
walked away.
Years later the Rev. DR.. learned
enough of the language to enable
him to read the version that his
translator had made for him. The
original begins this way;
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall
not want. He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures: He lead
eth me beside. the still waters"
The new version ran as follows:
81 am a mountain goat. The Lord
is great hunter. I do not want
him. He shoots me down on the
mountains and drags me down on
the beach"
