 Fl. YUKON REPORT

A letter received here by fur dealer Charles Goldstein from Fort Yukon trader James A. Carroll brother Of Baronof Hotel chef Harry Carroll-reports indications of spread of the disease, believed to be rabies, afflicting wild animals in the Uu- per Yukon area.
 Trader Carroll reports both foxes and coyotes stricken and that dogs bitten by the frenZied beasts have died. A native trapper of Fort Yu- kon was bitten three times while tending snares before he was able to shoot dead an attacking coyote. The native is now hospitalized.
 Carroll's report also states the fur situation along the Upper Yukon is nil" Tt seems all the fur has dis appeared from the flats" he writes. It is likely that the scarcity of fur bearers can be attributed to the severe flood that swept the Circle Fort Yukon area last spring.
 Natives of the district, who gen. orally are busy bringing in pelts this season of the year, now are cut ting wood for food Discouraged by the present situation, they are mark ing time until the opening of the beaver and muskrat season. Pelts re- ceived by Fort Yukon trading com- panies can be counted on the fingers.

men or the nations government ] leaders,
 Among other speakers in at. 1 tendance at the meeting were
 Theron J. Cole, Superintendent oi Schools at Sitka Stressing the fact
 that Sitka is only one of many Territorial schools in the same situation, MT. Cole said that the problem of securing permanent and competent teachers there was due to two outstanding causes: low salaries and too few applicants
 Other school representatives, sev- eral of whom spoke briefly con- corning their particular problems were: Walter Savikko, Superintend- ent of Schools at Skagway: w. H. Seaman, Superintendent of Schools at Douglas; William L. John, Su- perintendent at Haines: T. F. Dry den, Principal of Juneau Element ary School; Dorothy Holverson, Education Supervisor of Alaska E. O. Robinson, Deputy Commis- sioner of Education; Homer Will Hams, Tee Harbor, and A. B. Phillips, Juneau Superintendent of Schools.
 Nominations for the Chambers 1946 Executive Board were off cially closed following the addition of the following names: J. B. Bur ford, Frank Herman, A. E. Karnes, and Ralph Rivers. Previously nomi- mated were: c. Earl Cleveland, Norman R. Banfield, K G. Merritt Curtiss Shattuck, O. F. Benecke and Charles w. Carter Members of the board will be elected at next weeks meeting.
 Reporting on the Housing Com mittee's findings regarding ways in which Juneau's housing short age may be relieved, Jack Fletcher said that four vacant quarters available at Radio Apartments had been investigated and found in excellent occupancy con diti n. Lack of furniture appeared to be the only reason for vacancy" he said Following arrangements by the committee a local furniture dealer offered to furnish the apart ments within the next two weeks. About this time, however" said MT. Fletcher, Army officials said that the present budget would not allow such purchasing, and the furniture securing had to be drop ped.
 Since only Army Signal Corps personnel may occupy these quar- ters, and since the next Army budget will not be authorized until June, 1946, the apartments may stay vacant for many months, he said.
 ACS personnel are paid $5 per day living expenses when not quartered in Radio Apartments. MT. Fletcher pointed out that m occupying quarters other than those provided by the Army, Signal Corps personnel were contributing to civilian housing shortages.
 Following the luncheon-meeting it was learned that a tentative plan whereby permanent Army personnel may purchase their own furniture and occupy the vacant quarters is underway.
 A special program of music was provided by the Juneau Elementary School band, under the direction of Mrs. w. Mcdonnell.
 Guests, other than the school representatives at today's meeting, included: Bruce Parker, J. T. Spurlin and Winna Lee Coughlin.

people have strong hopes" for a
high level of employment which
would support abundant production
and consumption of agricultural
comodities.
He cautioned consumers that
present shortages could be expect
ed to continue in the immediate
future because they cannot be
corrected by any waving of a

One of Anderson's first tasks will
be the reorganization of the Agri.
culture Department to include the
functions and personnel of the Wal
Food Administration, agency
which President Truman ordered
abolished. He promised to make
the reorganized department an eff

LARGE EGG LOSS
OCCURS ANNUALLY

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
July 1.-About six solid trainloads
Of eggs are lost every year in
North Carolina between the nest
and the table. Most of this loss
can be prevented.
With the demand for eggs at IN
precedented. levels, especially to
replace meat in the diet, c. F..
Parrish, in charge Of poultry Ex-
tension at State College, appeals
to Tar Heel farmers to reduce in
solar as possible this tremendous
loss of about so million eggs year.
Parrish gave six definite sug-
gestions for reducing egg losses.
House pullets early. Provide plenty
of vitamin D and oyster shell for
the hens. Gather eggs early. Store
eggs u a cool, moist place. Clean
all dirty eggs with emery cloth.
Grade, carefully pack, and mar
ket' eggs at least once week.
Losses from improper handling
on the farm and in transit are
especially large, according to Par
IRISH. He points out that recent re-
ports show that the railroads
paid more than $650,0O0 in claims
for shell eggs damaged in tran.
sit in the U. S. during 1914 and
that this amount was only frac.
ton of the losses actually sustain
ed
Careful grading and packing,
together with proper handling,
can in a large measure prevent
such losses" Parrish says.

than plain sugar in sweetening ice
tea or fruit beverages. Corn syrup

sugar.
5. Instead OF cake icings and fill

quire only half as much icing as

6. Serve sweet breads as Gin

Something new is happening to
the North Carolina corn crop this
year. A big percentage of the best
farmers haYe used heavy appli-
cation of nitrogen side dressing
material, where they could get it,
and have been laying-by the corn
when it was from 2 IL to three
feet high. This is in line with the
goal of Experiment Station and
Extension Service specialists to
lump the present average yield
over the state from 20 bushels an
acre to so bushels an acre within
the next ten years.
Despite the facv that much OF
the corn which was planted nearby
to small grain fields has suffered
from attacks of chinch bugs and
that there are poor stands gener-
ally, there is some real good corn
and those who have followed the
new plans for producing larger
Yields this year are seeing the
wisdom of these methods.
D. R. Perkins, farm agent In
Yadkin, says the small grain cror
of Yadkin has been exceptionally
good except for few streaks dam
aged by hail. The weather was
ideal for the grain harvest and
the farmers are pleased with the
results.
Corn is. being laid by in that
county. Many of the growers ap,
piled from 300 to 500 pounds Of
nitrogen fertilizer per acre when
the corn was 2 IL feet high and
from 16 to 20 inches apart in the
row. Apparently this plan is going
to make good yields according tc
the present outlook. Paul Davis
who farms out on Highway All
from Yadkinville has an outstand'
ing field of corn that everyone is
visiting. He estimates that he Will
make at least 80 bushels an acre
or more and he is one of those
who made a side application OF
