Dr. Alberts Addresses Members At Seward Chamber of Commerce
 
 Luncheon

SEWARD-A glimpse of what the U. S. Government, through the De- partment of Agriculture, is doing to- ward developing the farming and cattle raising possibilities in Alas ka was given to an interested audi ence at the regular weekly business luncheon of the Seward Chamber of Commerce Tuesday by Dr. W. H. Alberts, director of the U. S. ex- perimental stations in Alaska.
 Having been personally engaged in supervising this work for the past three years, and Investigating, himself, all conditions in the Terri tory having a bearing upon the in dustry which is first in importance to any nation, as far as his time would permit, pr. Alberts laid his finger on Kodiak Island as the re- zion destined to be Alaska's live stock center. And in spite of the witness of Kodiak Island" remark ed the doctor, "only a very small fraction of it's area is suitable for agricultural purposes"
 Those of the inhabitants of Ko- diak who are fostering the grazing of live stock are, in spite of hazards that must soon be removed, showing more than substantial progress. ''To my own knowledge" Dr. Alberts stated, "the sheep herds number up to 2,000 in a single herd, and the cattle nearly as greatly. Unlike other industries, Kodiak live stock raisers are not in dire need of highways, as cattle and sheep can be driven over trails very easily, and a satisfactory system of trails Is now established, all leading to the end of the five mile highway into Kodiak. Supplies and build ing materials needed by the ranch CTS is best transported by small boats from the town of Kodiak to the heads of the many bays that serve as headquarters and home sites for ranchers."
 Treating only lightly on the brown bear menace, which is re- garded in a different light by sportsmen than by ranchers, he said reports were not erroneous that cattle ranchers in the small section of Kodiak Island in which the industry Is being established, are experiencing serious devasta- tions frequently by the predatory habits of the brown bears. Both sides of the situation are fully ap- preciated, he said, and plan is be- ing worked out by the Alaska Game Commission and the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture whereby both interests are to be fully appeased.
 It is generally conceded that in the interests of agricultural ad- vancement and the raising of live stock. the bears should go, if nec- essary. However, the opinion is held by many that to exterminate the brown bears from the farming and cattle grazing districts of Ko- diak Island. would scarcely dimin- ish to the slightest degree the abundance of these huge animals that would still be left on the is- land for the sportsmen. not to men, tion the hears of the Alaska penin- sula which outnumber those of Kodiak.-Seward Gateway.
