Alaska Agriculture Experiment Sta ton for the next fiscal year.
 The department report said. "The problem facing the Alaska Agricul- ture Experiment Station is that of developing a self sufficient agricul- ture based largely on family-size farms which would not only meet the requirements of the 71000 in habitants but also requirements of the defense forces stationed there.
 At the present time Alaska farms product less than ten percent of the food consumed by the popula- ton. vet only about 1900 acres of potentially tillable land are being farmed."
 Research Work Needed
 The statement of the department said that research conducted in the States is not directly applicable to conditions in Alaska as such vital factors as nature of soils climate, length of day are entirely different from those in the United States proper
 The department said that eyperi- ments in plant breeding to develop improved varieties and strains of crop plants better adapted to condi- tions in the Territory were of par ticular importance.

CLOVER SAILS TO
 INSPECT HIGHWAY

Regional Engineer of the Forest Service Art Glover sailed for Ketchi- kan on the. southbound Yukon on a two-weeks' inspection trip of the Craig-Kalwock Highway now under construction.
 The road, which has a 40-man crew working on it, is being built un- der the supervision of the Forest Service with Territorial funds. The second section is expected to reach completion in another year.
 On his return from Ketchikan Glover will stop at Petersburg and Wrangell on routine inspection.

been obtained in experiments with fruits, forage and grain crops, the report said
 The department hopes to benefit poultry and dairy industries through solutions of problems now retarding them, the statement said.
 Fur Farming
 The Alaska Experiment Station has already made significant prog ress in the study of pen-raising fur bearing animals. The fur of pen raised animal is now preferred to that of wild animals, the report said, because it is more uniform. Higher quality pelts are produced through feeding ration of fifty percent fish. Bladder stones in minks can be controlled through feeding one per cent cod liver oil
 Hay Production The report said that much Alaska hay needed for feeding livestock in dairy production can't be cured be- cause of the humid weather at har- vesting, Experiments have indicat- ed that grass hay silage, if it can be properly stored and preserved can be used for seventy-five to eighty per cent of the roughage needed for dairy cattle. The station has dem- onstrated that silage can be stored by inexpensive trench silo topped with one foot of moss or peat or two feet of chopped straw.
 Test of many legumes and grasses indicated, the report said, that a number such as ladak, alfalfa, per- ennial vetch, Siberian red clover, western rye, canary grass and Ken lucky blue grass show characteristics adaptable to Alaskan conditions.
 The station has also demonstrated that hogs could be raised economic ally, the report said, and progress has been made in connection with the problems Of seeding, fertilizer and cultural treatment to give sat- isfactory yield for the pea canning industry.
 Bee Keeping
 The report said that other ex- periments indicated that bee keeping and honey production would be pro- fitable supplemental enterprises in the Matanuska and Tanana valleys if adequate honey sources such as clover, alfalfa and other appropriate Towering plants can be grown
 Various agricultural laws make possible an allocation of $17,500 for the Alaska station, the department said, but it only is skiing for $10,000
 Approximately 100000 Christ mas trees were used in the United States in the l940 Christmas sea son.

Columbus, Ohio.-Recognized as a
National barometer of industrial, en-

enterprise, Ohio moved today to COM
pile official industrial data for 1910
through the medium of the annual
survey conducted by the Division Of

Director George A. Strain, Of the
industrial relations department., esti-
mated the 1910 survey will cover 1O,-
900 new business enterprises estab-
lished in the State within the last

The estimate is based on figures

that approximately $1,000 question
naires were sent in 1889 to firms en-
ploying three or more persons while
the mailing list for 1910 will exceed

Lobor's Prayer for
The President
BY DIR. CHARLES STELZLE

Thou Great Sovereign of all
nations, Thou King of Kings, and
Lord of hosts, in these periIous times
of war and rumors of war, when all
the powers of hate have been looSed to
kill and to destroy, we pray that Thy
Spirit may steady the minds and
quicken the hearts of those who call
themselves by Thy name, acknowledge
ing Thee as Father.
We pray especially for the Presi-
dent of these United States, upon
whom has been laid heavy burdens
and grave responsibilities, as he
speaks for our country and for its
people.
Renew his strength as daily his
burdens increase. Give him the wis
dom and understanding that cometh
only from above. Protect him from
those whose motives and methods are
prompted by the spirit of selfshness
or personal ambition.
Show him Thy will. Out of the
conflict of counsel may Thy voice
come unto him saying: This is the
way-walk ye in it. And as Thy
will is revealed, increase his faith
so that he may go forth in the con
sciousness Of having fulfilled the task
committed to him.
And we pray that he, with us, shall
seek above all things else to honor
and glorify Thee, Fastening the com
ing of Thy Kingdom upon earth
and the rule of the spirit of brother,
hood in the lives and the hearts OF
all peoples of the earth so that al
nations may dwell together in peace
and unity.

Farm Wages Increase

Washington, d. c. QLNS).-The
general level of farm wage rates on
January l stood at 124 per cent of
the 19lO-14 average, points higher
than a year earlier, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture reports. The
gain in pay was attributed to a limit
ed supply of farm labor at current
wage levels and somewhat stronger
demand for workers.

Information On
SociuI Security

Inc Social security BOard Telu o.
| flee at Youngstown, is continuing its
policy of maintaining itnerant office
hours in East Liverpool according to
an announcement made by Glenn II.
Pittenger, manager of the field office
A representative Of the Youngstown
office will be at the East Liverpool
Post Office each Tuesday from l2:OO
noon to 100 p. m., Mr.. Pittenger said
This service is maintained, Mr.. Pit
tenger continued, in order that both
employers and employees may discuss
with an authorized representative any
problem pertaining to account num-
bers, wage records, or claims for bene-
fits under the Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance provision of the Act.
There is change this year in the
tax rate which is imposed under the
Federal Insurance Contributions Act
for old-age and survivors insurance
The rate remains at one per cent each
for the employer and the employe, it
is reported by Glenn H. Pittenger
manager Of the social security field
office in Youngstown Ohio. Comment
ing on the subject he said:
"An individuals wages, in COM
merce or industry, up to maximum
of $4,000 annually, are taxable for old
age and survivors insurance. All en-
ployers of one or more, in these fields,
are taxable under the Federal Insur-
ance Contributions Act There is no
connection between this tax and that
which is imposed by the State under
its unemployment compensation pro-
gram. In this State only employers
Of three or more are covered for un-
employment compensation but those
having one or more workers must pay
the Federal Insurance Contributions
tax, unless the type Of job is speci-
tically exempted under the Social Sc
curity Act"
Increasing employment for older
men is indicated in a report made pub
lie today by Glenn H. Pittenger, man
ager of the Social Security Board
field office in Youngstown. His report
is based on decrease which is TAX
ing place in the number Of applica-
tions now being filed for the monthly
insurance payments which are made
to workers who reach age G5 and re-
tire after service on Jobs covered by
oldage and survivors insurance.
'In the first half of 1910 there was
steady increase in the number of
az
and filed their claims for the monthly
benefits which were due them," Mr..
Pittenger said.
"Since the late summer of this year
there has been a continuing decline in
such applications, indicating that
many men who are 65 or in some cases
even 70 years of age are being kept
on the job after they reach the age
at which they could retire under the
Social Security Act. In numerous
cases men approaching age 65, and
who had planned to claim their bene-
fits, have been recalled to work or
have been assured that their employ
ment will continue.
MANY men have been recalled to
industrial plants to serve as in
structors to younger men. AS defense
orders mount this practice is grow
ing" Mr.. Pittenger added
The trend Of the Youngstown field
office is part of nationwide move
ment to retain or hire older men OF
special skill, the report indicated.

if child is in school.
*#Average for each individual.
In addition to these monthly pay
ments there were 2s2 persons in the
Youngstown area who received lump
sums for funeral expenses of insured
workers who left no dependents en-
titled to monthly checks. The total of
these payments during the year was
$40057.99, the average check in such
cases being $142.05. Payments in such
cases go to persons who actually pay
for the funerals of insured workers.
Figures showed steady gains dur
ing the year, it was reported, both in
number and in the average payment
in each group. BY far the great ma
iority of those who became eligible
for monthly checks at some time dur
ing 1910 continue on the payrolls of
the Social Security Board as the new
year begins. Names are stricken
from the list when the aged worker
dies, when children reach specified
ages as indicated in the table, or
where widows of insured workers re-
marry or take up employment covered
by the Social Security Act.
Numerous claims filed in 1910 were
pending at the end of the year, either
while we were waiting for proof of
birth, marriage certificates or other
necessary data" Mr.. Pittenger said.
His office is one of 46 in the Cleve-
land region, which includes the States
of Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio.

MINIMUM PAY "GOOD BUSINESS'

Albany, N. Y.--Reporting on oper-
ations of New York's minimum wage
law in 1910, Miss Kate Papert of the
State Labor Department, said: "Mini-
mum wage has proved itself to be
good business. Workers have had their
wages raised, unfair competition
among employers has been cut to the
bone and the much talked of purchas-
ing power can now be counted in doll
ars and cents"
onal repute, likewise will reveal the
initial affects of the National Defense
program on Ohio business and en-
ployment conditions in general.
The QUESTIONABLE obtains data
showing how many workers are en-
ployed by the individual firms, the
wages paid, and what proportion of
the workers are skilled, semi-skilled
or unskilled. In addition, the survey
within the last year has been expand
ed to include information relative to
the Negro employment situation in
the State. This angle was developed
in an attempt to determine accurately
the position of the Negro in the Ohio
industrial picture and to serve as
medium of measuring the results of
Negro educational programs conduct
ed by National, State and private
! agencies.

vidudls Every Month

Results of the operation of the first
year of old-age and survivors insur-
ance in the areas served by the
Youngstown field office of the Social
Security Board were disclosed today
by Manager Glenn H. Pittenger.
"While the original Social Security
Act went into effect January /, 1887
it was not until January /, 1910, that
old-age and survivors insurance be-
came effective and the first benefits
became payable" Mr.. Pittenger said
"At the end of the first year we are
able to show what the amended social
security program means to the three
counties served by our field office in
the Erie Terminal Building in Youngs-
town, Ohio.
'Three principal types of benefits
have been paid as the result of claims
filed through our field office. These
are in the form of monthly checks
issued to workers who reach age 65
and retire after having obtained in
sured status, with supplemental
checks issued to aged wives of such
workers. Others are monthly checks
to certain survivors Of insured work
ers, while still another group of bene-
ficiaries is composed Of persons who
received a single payment to defray
funeral expenses of insured workers
who died leaving no survivor eligible
for monthly checks.
"The following table shows the
number of individuals in each group
receiving monthly checks, based on
awards made in our service area" Mr.

Philippines Held Ready
For Copra Export Control

~ The Philippines are willing to CO.
operate in placing copra, and its de-
rivative, coconut oil, under export
control and await only action of the
United States Government to estab-
lish such control, J. NJ EliZalde, the
Philippine Resident Commissioner,
said in statement released today.
There have appeared in several
newspapers here reports of recent
Philippine shipments to Russia, by
way of Shanghai and Japan, of
copra cargoes which may ultimately
be used for war purposes" the COM
missioner said.
Il should like, in this connection,
to emphasize the fact that in the
first week of this month, the Philip
pine government advised authorities
here of our earnest desire to CO.
operate with the United States in
any form of export control that may
be deemed effective in safeguarding
the interests of national defense.
1T must be understood, however,
that foreign relations of the Philip
pines are under the direct supervi-
sion and control of the United
States, so that any regulations or
export licensing requisites on prod
ucts from the Philippines must, of
necessity, emanate from the Federal
Government"
