"ONCE AN ALASKAN
 ALWAYS AN ALASkAN'f

"Once an Alaskan, always an Alaskan' is as true of profession- al men as it is of sourdoughs. Proof of that is contained in the career of Robert D. Schiller, ac- count executive and production manager of the Ad-Craft Adver- Using Service, Seattle, Washing ton. From 1886 through 1888. Schiller was with Libby. McNeil & Libby Canneries in Southeast ern Alaska and Bristol Bay. Af- ter that, he was for three years advertising manager of the Alas ka Sportsman magazine in Ket- chikan. From 1922 to l945 he was in the Signal Intelligence Corps of the U. s. Army, serving in An chorage, Fairbanks, the Aleutian Islands, and other parts of the Territory, winding up his all- Alaska army experience as ser geant. Now we learn that Schil- Ter has been utilizing his thor ough-going Alaska background 10 help the Alaska Sportsman and other advertisers do a better job of advertising in and from the Territory.
 Interest in Alaska is zooning like a V-2 rocket, Mir. Schiller stated. People are so keen on hearing and reading about the Territory thev make me home sick. Some Stateside advertisers haven't fared so we'll in Alaska because they have lacked facts about the Alaskan market and have made no effort to present their goods or services in a way that would appeal to Alaskans. Also various Alaska advertisers have had difficulty getting the sort of professional advertising service they need. want and de- serve, Fndeavoring to do some thing constructive about both Sit uations is a privilege for an ex- Alaskan, I assure you."

We have, like many other Alaska towns many citizens living in sub-standard Cabins, for the reason, there is nothing better available and they cannot finance a Home, due to the inflated prices of supply and demand. This condition can only be corrected by Federal Housing Projects, financed by the Federal Government and sold to citizens by a long period sales contract with low interest rates.

Then the surplus Bank money can be placed at work in Home and business financing. There is no business or Citizen who can pay such interest rates and con- tinue in business unless they in- crease their commodity prices to absorb this cost, and when they increase their commodity prices to the consumer, you have a de- mand from labor for increased wages, and the circle goes on and on. without any reasonable or possible stabilization of our Economy.

In New Orleans

A New Orleans police captain,
who was present when the Spanish
| flag was taken down at Havana in
1899 and the American flag was run
up in its place, today is serving as
nugler at the 50th convention Of
the United Spanish War Veterans.
He is Arthur Marullo, SO. who
served with Company M of the I'd
Louisina Volunteers during the
Spanish American War.
Il was in Havana that fateful
day." Mr.. Marullo said. "On jan
uary /, 1899, we were ordered out
in full marching equipment. We
were afraid the supporters Of Spain
in the city might cause some trou-
BILE. We marched to the Moro
Castle, at the entrance Of Havana
harbor, and lowered the Spanish
flag. There was no demonstration
from the Spanish citizens. We then
pulled up the American flag and
stood in formation to watch it wave
at the head of the flag pole"
Mr.. Marullo also recalled that the
Spanish soldiers were extremely
hungry and grateful for the food
the Americans gave them. follow
ing the peace. He said one soldier
was SO thankful he gave him his
entire Spanish uniform and rife.
Mr.. Marullo still has the uniform

did not take long after leaving the
service on April 18, 1899, to find his

heaviest seasonal movement into
feed1ots, since the lamb crop is short
and the feed supply is abundant,
prices for feeders are not likely to
be cheaper during the rest of the
season. Instead, they may go higher.
They are almost certain to average
higher than last year, so that the
cost of a feeder lamb may be up SO
cents to 81 a head.
Feed costs will be lower than last
season. Assuming an average of
$1.30 a bushel for corn and $40 a
ton for loose alfalfa hay in the main
lamb feeding states, the feeds TO
make a 30-Ib. gain would cost about
$5.25, or about $2.42 a head less than
last year.
The combined cost of the feeder at
present prices and feed at estimated
prices for new corn would be about
$40 a lamb, or about $3.50 less than
last year. If fed lambs average as
high as last season, the gross margin
between the estimated cost and sell
ing price would be about So so to
$2.75 a head. Allowing about 81 a
head for marketing charges, freight
and other costs, there would remain
a small net margin.
But, will fat lambs average as
high as last season?
The 1948 lamb crop was 8 percent
less than in 1947, 81 percent below
the 1937-46 average. In spite of the
increased feed supply, the number
of lambs placed on feed is not likely
to be larger than last year and prob
ably will be one-fourth to one-third
below the average in recent years.
Beef supplies may be larger and
lower in price but poultry, which is
a stronger competitor of lamb with
many consumers than are beef or

pork, probably will be slightly less
plentiful than last year. Competition
for fed lambs from early spring
lamb crop next year remains to be
seen, but the crop probably will be
quite small.
The major uncertainty is consum-
er buying power. The industrial
boom has leveled off in the past
year but probably has enough mo-
mentum to maintain employment
near present levels through the fed
lamb season. If buying power should

get maximum benefits for the ranges and next years crop.
Weather Changes
The period begins unsettled with warm weather being replaced by
lower temperatures, some coudiness and light precipitation about the
10th to 18th. Mostly cool weather is indicated from the 18th to 10th
followed by a brief rise in connection with the first of a series of low
pressure storms to cross this forecast are about the goth. This Is a
very favorable time for rain or snow and a few days of cold, wet
disagreeable weather. Wyoming and western Montana should be wet

A cold front and probably snow is expected to invade northern
Montana about the 9th and overrun Montana and Wyoming promptly
with a prolonged cold wave that may prevail through the 30th- A new
disturbance and precipitation are indicated to cross this forecast area
about the 3st to carry this siege of early winter weather into
November.
Precipitation: Normal or above. Temperatures: Below normal
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-10-15

In general the outlook ap-
pears fairly promising.
Cost of feeder lambs may
be slightly higher than last year
but cost of feeds will be less.
Big question is whether
prices for fat lambs will average
as high as last season. Since sup
plies of lamb and competing
products will be relatively short,
the answer TO this question de-
ponds largely upon whether
buying power holds up.
If there is any drop in buy
ING power. this factor would af-
feet chiefly later marketed
lambs.
Over the next S TO 10 years
lamb prices are likely to be rela-
lively higher than most other
farm products.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-10-15

shrink, it will affect prices for other
farm products as well as lambs.
Fed lamb prices will depend to a
minor degree on wool prices, since
the pelt will make up 20 to IS per-
cent of the value of the live lamb in
late winter. With domestic wool sell
ing below foreign wool and mills
needing to make additional pur-
chases before the next clip will be
ready, it is unlikely that wool prices
will decline enough by spring to
have any material effect on live
lamb prices.
Currently. lamb prices are about
equal to the average during the last
fed lamb season. Prices have adj
vanced from October to the follow
ing December-April level in about
three-fourths of the last 25 years. If
conditions should turn unfavorable
enough to prevent the usual rise,
prices may still average as high as
last year.
Lamb feeders may follow any one
of several different methods. When
the lambs are purchased early. they
generally are used first to clean up
stubble fields. Grazing reduces the
cost, but many of these lambs are
not properly finished when they re-
turn to market. Feeders may be
bought in midseason when they
usually are lower in price and used
for lambing down corn, for drylot
feeding or for grazing on wheat
pastures where that method is prac-
ticable. They usually are sold by
midwinter after prices have risen
well above the fall level. Western
lamb finishers usually fill their
feedlots rather late and market fat
lambs In midwinter and spring. This
minimizes competition with the
cornbelt in buying feeders and SELL
ing fat lambs.
No market difference in the out
look for these various methods Is
apparent at this stage. However,
finishers who sold in February and
March last season when prices were
lowest may avoid those months this
year, so that they may prove to be
a strong period. Other differences
may become apparent later when

pending on their view of what the
season holds.
In general, the outlook appears
fairly promising. Results arc likely
to be better than last season, when
many lamb finishers lost money due
TO high feed costs and a sharp
break in lamb prices in February
and March, partly in sympathy with
declines in other farm products.
AS a backdrop for this year. here
is the way returns stacked up last
season, using data from the U. S.
department of agriculture:
In September : December, 1947,
good and choice feeder lambs at
Omaha averaged $21.29 per cwt. The
cost of a 65-lb. feeder lamb yer
aged $13.84. To put on a 30-lb. gain
and make a 95-lb. fat lamb took
about 2K bushels of corn and 200
pounds of alfalfa hay or their
equivalent in other feeds. AT aver
age 1dIIu pl1CSS III liC I'LL vi SClie1o al
states last fall and winter, corn and
alfalfa hay cost about 1922 a bushel
and $21.08 a ton, respectively, MAX
ing a total feed cost of $7.67 per
lamb. The combined cost of feeder
lamb and feed totaled $21.51 4 head.
Good and choice fat lambs at Chi
cage averaged $23.83 a cwt. during
the main fed lamb season from De-
cember, 1947, through March, 1948,
so that the total value of the 95-lb.
lamb was $22.64. This left a gross
margin of $1.13 a head. In the four
preceding seasons, starting with
1945-47, the average margins per
head calculated on the same basis
were $5.48, $3.4S, $2.75 and 1924
(see chart.
The figures given do not allow
for buying II selling commissions
freight, death loss, interest charges
labor, overhead and other costs ane

These items probably increased tht
total cost per lamb last season by
close to So a head, so that the finish

little or no pay for his labor.

and choice feeder lambs were cost

Lamb Feeding Prospects
The Outlook Appears Fairly Promising

cloudy, disagreeable weather. There VIII be much
changeable weather and numerous frontal dis
turbances, and with low temperatures much of the
time we can expect snow and a taste of winter
before the close of October.
The percentage of good autumn days will rapidly
decline so that good weather will be a scarcity
later in the month. Consequently, farmers in this
area with unharvested small grain or root crops
may experience difficulty due to adverse weather.
The expected precipitation at this time should be
sufficient to improve the status of the fall-sown
crops and put the top-soi1 in shape for the winter.
The overall moisture condition will be improved in
