Once in while, homecured pork
will turn sour or tainted. A test
for this condition has been devised
by the Bureau of Animal Eusban-
dry of the u. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, and is passed on to us by
Miss Eleanore Davis, extension nu-
tritionist at the State College of
Washington.
Sourness in smoked pork can
often be detected when the warm
meat is removed from the smoke
house, points out Miss Davis.
Sometimes, although not often, a
faint will be noticeable a week or
two after smoking. To test each
piece, the nutrition expert suggests
a ham trier. This instrument re-
sembles a narrow ten-inch harness
awl. A length of stiff wire sharp
ened at one end may also be used.
This trier is run along the bone to
the center of the ham from both
hook and loin ends. If the trier
brings out sweet odor, the meat
is sound. If the odor is unpleasant,
the meat should be cut open and
carefully examined. If there is a
definite odor of putrefaction, it is
best to destroy the entire piece.
Shoulders are tried in the shank,
at the shoulder point, and under
the bladebone, concludes the nutri-
ton specialist. Pork Bulletins, Cur

An Open Letter From ". R. Wassenkari

| Southeastern Alaska Seiners settled for the following fish prices: pinks 20; cohoes 42; reds 53; chums 22; springs 1.76. In addition 1 and half cents for delivery to canneries and 800 fish per man in event limits are established.
 Cordova district; kings, reds and echoes, escalator increase of 10 per cent over last year. On pinks and chums 13 and half l6 and half respectively, which is higher than the 10 per cent granted on other species. Cook Inlet district: 20 to 33 and a third per cent over last year.
 Independent seine caught pinks 10c, and 1-3 less for com pany gear.
 Most of the districts in Alaska are still under valid war duration agreements and could not be negotiated but were granted the 10 per cent increase over last year based on the increase of cost of living.
 Only other noticeable gain was won by the Bristol bay resident cannery workers IFAWA local No. 46.
 They have thorough agree ment signed with the ASI with the following pay scale: Classif- cation A hourly pay $1 35, over time $1 AS, penalty rate $i.6O. Classification B $1.2l & $1 50.
 The above scale on a basis of board and room furnished. When not furnished workers are to re- ceive an allowance of $3 per day.
 Free transportation to capnery and back to place of embark- ation
 This is the first step by IFAWA in the elimination of inequalities between resident and non-resid- ent cannery workers all over Alaska. It is the aim of lFAWA to get the resident workers on equal basic pay with non-resid- ent cannefy workers.
 Next year all the agreements  of all the unions involved in the salmon industries will be negotl- atab'e, therefore all unions in- volved should be in a position to participate in the Joint Strat- egy committee of the Alaska Fisheries Unions where all the demands of all the unlons will be co-ordlnated to conform with one another so that uniform wage structure can be formulated to govern all phases of the Alaska Canned Salmon Industries.

Drought Threat More Serious Than Frost
Damage In Appraisal Of Crop Prospects

Drought, unusually severe for
this season, Is threatening to force
downward revision of early crop
prospects, farmers said as they
made an early spring appraisal of
crops this week.
AS overcast skies Tuesday failed
to yield nothing more than scattered
showers the prediction was freely
made that unless heavy rains come
within the next ten days oats pros
poets will be down % per cent due
to lack of termination and wheat
outlook, likewise will be off as much
as Is per cent.
Present situation with its lack of
moisture is far more of a threat
than frost damage thus far sus-
tanned, growers said. Aside from
sweet cherries, frost damage to
fruit has not been great, it is be-
lieved.
Pastures also are affected by lack
of rainfall and will be reflected
shortly in curtailed milk production

Pleas for about farm food pro-

worldwide shortages, in contrast to
State Extension Service recommend
ations of more conservative opera

farmers this year.
At the same time federal officials
are urging expanded food production
to help hungry Europe and other
war-devastated areas, State Exten-
sion Service directors are reported to
be passing on word that the policy is
not sound one.
Thru county agents, top men in
the country's agricultural production
picture, it is believed that sentiment
is crystalizing to preach doctrine
of conservative production on farms
for 1916.
Recommendations by state exten-
sion services call for cut backs in
dairy and beef cattle herds, reduc-
ton in poultry production and a
switch in acreage from small grains
and row crops.
CONSERVATION URGED
Tied with the program of cur.
tailed production is something ap-
preaching a scientific program o1
soil conservation and proper lane
use. Reduced acreage in row crops
and small grains is advised in th'
interest of rebuilding land fertilit!
reserves depleted during heavy war
time production.
In place of soil-depleting crops
farmers are being urged to turn t.

General unrest among farmers
and apathy toward planning in
creased food production in this sum-
mer's operations-an entirely new
factor in the Bluffton area agricul-
tural picture-are apparent here
with the approach of the spring
planting season.
This situation is in diametric con.
trast to federal food administrators
recommendation for increased farm
production in America to feed a
war-stricken world.
In the face of calls for expanded
production, a survey of the Bluffton
area situation gives every evidence
of no increase in acreage this year,
with probabilities that operations
will be curtailed from wartime levels.
Corn acreage especially will be cut
back, and at the best farm produc-
tion generally can be hoped to only
equal that of last year.
GENERAL DISSATISFACTION
Farmers are dissatisfied with the
prices of farm products as compared
with what they have to buy-with
the fact that new farm implements
promised after VI Day have failed
to materialize-and with a critical
shortage of farm hands because Of
higher industrial wages.
AS result of widespread strike.
among most major implement pro
ducers, production of equipment ha
been negligible, and even the priori
ties allotted to returned servicemel
have virtually proved worthless.
Farmers are emphatic that thi
spring will bring little of the night
plowing with tractors prevalent tw
and three years ago. Women an
children also cannot be expected t
pinch-hit for shortage of farr
hands in operating tractors, accord
