The experiments include projects in housing, nutrition and disease. and in management of mink, blue fox, sIver fox, and marten. Other fur-boaring animals will be added later.
 By an agreement between the University and the Biological Survey, the principal burden of expense of operation and devcl- Farm will be borne by the Alasko Fish and Game Commission. This agreement permits the allocation of certain Federal funds for the University and Matanuska Ex- pertinent Stations.
 The main office of the Director of Extension is at the University. The Director supervises all Agri- cultural Extension Service, All Club work for boys and girls, and all home demonstration work throughout the Territory, This office is headquarters for Home Demonstration and All Club lead CTS, and for the Assistant All Club leaders.
 District offices are maintained at Palmer for the ,Matanuska Valley, at Anchorage for the Ke- mai Peninsula, and at Fairbanks for the Tanana Valley. Work in Southeastern Alaska is directed from the main office
 Work in Mining Extension is carried on by the Sshool of Mines of the University in accordance with authorization by the Terri torial Legislature. This work is designed to give preliminary tr- aiming in various phases of geol- ogy and mining as a service to those who are unable to take up resident study at the University.
 The extent of the mineral re- sources of Alaska cannot yet be estimated accurately, but the geologic conditions warrant most optimistic view. The min- eral production has reached high total value, yet exploration has scarcely touched many parts of the Territory. From compar- ison with other productive re- gions it appears that mineral de- velopment in Alaska has only begun
 The Mining Extension courses cover period of five weeks. Sp- ecial emphasis is placed on the study of mineralogy and geology with supplementary lectures on placer and lode mining methods, and mining law. The Territorial appropriation has made possible the purchase of supplies and ap- paratus. but rooms for lectures and laboratory work are usually furnished by the cities in which the classes are conducted.

 At a later date it was found after the suit had been brought, that this point was brought out in the complaint and an effort was made to change or comply in this way:
 Under the official signature of Thomas Howell, City Clerk. under the Jan 15, 1948 date certified copy of minutes of meeting supposed to be held few days after the meeting of October 9th, in which the resolution was read three times. it was alleged that sufficient councilmen were pre- sent and ALL voted "yes" to the suspension of rules, which also takes five council members who must be in accord.
 We have no knowledge of any council meeting called for SPECIAL meeting for this dis cussion and none was mentioned according to the minutes of the PREVIOUS REGULAR meeting.
 If this is so it constitutes fur ther violation of the Compiled laws of Alaska, 1883. on no less authority than Attorney General Ralph Rivers (Sec. 24O2-24O3.) These sections read something like this:-That all business in regard to public utilities must be held in open meeting
 This Complaint also alleged that the issuance of General Ob- ligation Bonds in order to retire Revenue Bond already in exist ance is contrary to law.
 That is mistake No. 3. Going back to the allegation that Councilman Sellers on Oct ober 9th l947 voted NO and that Councilman Novick was absent, there was no way legally for the remaining members to pass Or dinance No. 176 which was com piled in order to place the bond issue before the taxpayers of Seward. for the reason that five members must be in accordance.

hibit their projects at the Kent
Sussex Fair, which begins July 26.
The All department of the fair in
cludes over 20 classes in which
club members may exhibit canned
food, baking, vegetables, eggs,
clothing and crops.
In addition, Alters are encour-
aged to enter their livestock and
poultry in the open classes at the
fair From the number of entries
now pouring in to county extension
Offices. more than 500 entries are
expected in the All club depart
ment and many more in the open
classes.
This year the All club depart
ment is initiating new method OF
awards known as the Danish sys-
TEN. All exhibits that meet the
standards required of the highest
award group will receive a blue
ribbon and cash award. Exhibits
meriting second prizes will be
placed in the red ribbon award
group, and so on. In this manner
each exhibit will receive a ribbon
and every member who has done a
frst-rate job on his exhibit is elig-
lible to win a first prize.
Judging contests are always a
popular feature of the fair, and
Tuesday, July 81, is All Club Day
Club members may compete in one
of six judging contests swine,
dairy, poultry, vegetable crops,
food and clothing. This is an ex-
cellent opportunity for boys and
girls to learn by doing and by
comparison. For the three high
est scoring members in each con-
test, scholarships will be awarded

to the 1949 Short Course to be held
next summer at the University of
Delaware. Since the judging con-
tests are run on a county basis, a
total of 50 scholarships are avail
able.
Traditional among All members
at the fair are demonstrations.
This year the county contests in
dairy foods demonstrations will
take place on the stage of the All
club building on July %, beginning
at 1:3O p. m. Dairy production
demonstrations will be held there
on July 29, at the same time. In
these contests, All members try
to demonstrate better methods
they have learned in relation to
some phase of dairy foods or dairy
production. Winners in each con-
test will receive cash awards and
medals and will be eligible to COM
pete in the state contests next fall.
The calf scramble, held for the
first time last year, proved so sue
cessful that it will be continued
this year. Last year, 26 Delaware

other Maryland and Delaware All

to win one of 80 calves. Eleven
Delaware All boys walked out of
the scramble pen with baby Angus
calves for their projects. These
winners will be showing their an

proximately 80 Delaware All boys
have submitted applications for
this years calf scramble. From
this group a proportionate number
will be selected to participate.

Pressure Saucepan Used in
Canning

In answer to the question, Can
pressure saucepans be used for
canning?" results of research at
the Bureau of Human Nutrition
and Home Economics, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, show
that they may, provided they meet
certain requirements.
The saucepan must be tall
enough to hold pint jars on a rack
with the saucepan cover locked in
place, and the gauge must control
the pressure accurately at 10
pounds.
The processing times are 20 min
utes longer at 10 pounds pressure
in the saucepan than those recon-
mended for the pressure Gamer.
Miss M Gertrude Holloway, extern
sion nutrition specialist for the
University of Delaware, explains
that this is because the saucepan
takes only minute to exhaust its
air content, and cools rapidly after
the jars are processed. In the
regular Gamer these periods are
longer and provide more of the
heat that sterilize the food for safe
keeping.
The following processing times
for pints of vegetables canned at
10 pounds pressure in the pressure
causepan are recommended:
Snap beans-40 minutes; beets-
As minutes; lima beans-55; car
rots-40; cream style corn-105;
whole kernel corn-75; summer
squash--50; spinach-65.

FARM NEWS
Scab Resistant Wheat
Gives Better Yields

Low wheat yields on many Della
ware farms this season points up
the fact that more attention TO
seeding disease resistant varieties
is needed, says Claude E. Phillips,
agronomist for the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
Phillips says that varieties lack
ing resistance to wheat scab have
been the cause of many low yields.
Especially low yields have been
harvested from fields where the
beardless types of wheat were
! grown.
Since weather conditions fire.
quently occur which are favorable
to the development of wheat scab,
Phillips advises growers to care
fully consider the seeding of the
more resistant bearded varieties.
He reveals that this year va
riety of wheat developed after 1S
years of research at the Delaware
Agricultural Experiment Station
has proven highly resistant to
scab. This variety, first an
nounced at the annual meeting of
the Delaware Crop Improvement
Association meeting this past win
ter, has been named Nu Del. This
variety has been grown on farm
plots this year, and a limited sup
ply will be availablel for distribu-
ton to farmers this fall. The
agronomist hopes that as soon as a
supply of this variety can be pro-
duced, a general use of it among
the wheat growers of the state will
help to eliminate the low wheat
yields that occur with less hardy
varieties commonly grown.

the people. OF the $7o,000,000 ear
