 REST OF SEASON


 Tenakee Inlet has been closed to commercial salmon fishing for the remainder of this season. it was announced today by the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service. The area was closed because of the large number of pink salmon which have been caught there compared with the number of chums taken.
 The Fish and Wildlife Service ex- plained that the area had been op- ened on the premise that no pinks would be taken. The season would normally have ended on July 28. It will be opened again. however, from October Is to November Is.

Army of Occupation in
 Germany Given Warning
 By Two Women of Alaska
By VERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON, July l7,-(R- Two women newspaper executives from the North have advised the Army of Occupation in Germany to go slow on any plans to send displaced persons to Alaska.
 Alaska would like and could ,use displaced persons--especially the Baltic types in the camps around Frankfurt, they said.
 But, they added the Territory simply cannot assimilate them un- til new industries, such as pulp mills. are introduced on consid- cradle scale.
 This was the advice to the American brass in Frankfurt and Berlin of Miriam Dickey of Fair banks, vice president of the coni- pany which publishes the Daily News Miner, ald Mrs. Helen Troy Monsen, Juneau, publisher of the Daily Alaska Empire.
 They flew back to the states from Lisbon this week, concluding two and one-half month tour of Europe.
 We were nightly impressed by the Baltic DPs-Latvians, Lithuan- ianS, Estonians--clean, industrious, thrifty people, Miss Dickey told a reporter.
 German slaves during the war, they are homeless now because they refuse to submit to the domina- tion of the Russians.
 They are types we could use in a country like Alaska They appreciate freedom and could give some of our own people pointers in democracy.
 But right now Alaska could ab- sorb them only in driblets--fivt carpenters here, half dozen me- chanics there"
 Miss Dickey said her views and those of Mrs. Monsen were sought by military officials in Germany because of recent magazine ar- ticle proposing that 100000 DPS be sent to Alaska at the rate of 25,000 year.
 The two found conditions through out Europe unsettled, and fear and unrest widespread. Miss Dickey said
 We ought to get down on our knees every day and thank God we live in America, and pray that we can keep our American way of life" she added.
 In Berlin the Alaskans wander ed into Russian Territory-"W wouldn't dare to do it today"-and inspected the ruins of the Reichs chancellory.
 Enroute to Vienna their plane spent an hour in Prague.
 Communist officers refused to let any of us get out of the plane,' . said Miss Dickey
 Everywhere we were impressed by the danger of Socialism, she said.
 We found that the Socialists profess to be Communist, yet actually they do the spadework for Communism so that when the time comes the Reds can take over with minimum of trouble"
 The two women plan to spend several days in Seattle before re- turning to Alaska.

 VASHINGTON-It WIS just about year ago that the Republican Congress was berating and bulldoz- ing Assistant Secretary of State Bill Benton for the State Depart ments art exhibit-especially the portrait of a fat circus girl.
 Benton was called up to Capitol Hill, literally made to stick his nose in each portrait, as Congress scoffed at modern art. After it was all over, the Republicans pro- ceeded to cut the State Depart ment's cultural and propaganda funds to ribbons. Wasting money on crackpot art, they decreed, would not happen again.
 Even President Truman joined privately in the fray by writing Benton a letter about art. In the end, Secretary of State Mar shall decided that Benton was too hot" politically and his resignation was accepted
 That was all about year ago Now comes the sequel.
 The art exhibit which the Con- gressmen thought was such a waste of money has been sold-at a profit. The State Department bought the collection for $56,OOO and has now sold it for $79,658-a profit of more than $23,000 for Uncle Sam.
 The circus girl by Yasuo Ku- niyoshi which the Congressmen so scorned, sold for $2,OO0 The State Department paid s700 for it.
 Bill Benton, now a private citi- zen, tried to buy some of the pie lures when they were up for auc- tion, but was outhid each time. He didn't get one.
 Note-The Congressional cut in the State Departments general propaganda funds was about as tragic as the Congressional refusal to fortify Guam before Pearl Har- Dor. The art collection was not

fencing. III umlCeQ pasture, d crOSA
fence ahead and behind the turkeys,
moved along about every 10 days,
will serve the purpose. However it is
done, a change to new pasture every
week or 10 days is the essential part
of any control system.
There are cases, of course, where
100 birds or less are kept in a yard
or pen, close to the house, and no
other place available. Blackhead loss
in these cases are likely to be heavy,
though some protection can be had
from the use of phenothiazine. This
drug, used mainly to treat wormy
sheep, seems to help a great deal
though it is not a sure cure, by any
means. We use an ounce of pheno-
thiazine for every 80 birds, mixed
with the mash for each day, and fed
for 10 days, and in about two weeks,
repeat the treatment. In fact, even
in range flocks of considerable size,
we like to use phenothiazine when
we first move the flock to clean
pasture.
Chickens must not be allowed to
run with the turkeys, for although
a hen is seldom affected with black
head, she may harbor and spread
the tiny parasite that aus the dis
ease. Chickens are out. No chickens
are to be with the turkeys at any
time, nor should the turkeys be al
lowed to run in any pens or yards
where the chickens have been.
Eliminate Carriers
Blackhead put all the eastern
states out of the turkey business for
years, until a study of the disease
developed this system of pasture ro-
tation. Later, the practice of not
holding over any mature turkeys for
breeding stock eliminated the car
rier" bird, the turkey that was tough
enough to ecove partly from an
attack of blackhead and yet was
able to spread infection around the
premises as long as he or she lived.
Today, we can't always figure
where the infection comes from,
when the disease breaks out. Last
week we saw an outbreak of black
head in a bunch of 800 poults, a new
flock, set up on a sheep ranch where
no turkeys had ever been, no old
birds, no chickens around, yet a
dozen poults dead of blackhead. For
t%unately, this operator had plenty of
range, and was started out at once
on a pasture rotation system. If he
sticks to this system, his flock should
be free from the disease in three
weeks. 1t is up to him.
Blackhead, like any other disease,
will vary greatly in severity from
one ranch to another. One man may
have lost 10 percent, another so per-
cent, and treatments that seem to be
successful with one flock may have
no beneficial effect with another. We
have to use the methods that have
been proved to do the most good in
the largest number of cases. While
feeding phenothiazine is easy and i'm
expensive, long experience shows III
that pasture rotation is the method
to be relied upon, with phenothia-
zine as a very valuable aid for the
immediate aid necessary at the out
cot

Blackhead in TURKEYS
BY DR.. HOWARD WEIGH

SOME PEOPLE are reminded OF
the seasons of the year by the COM
ing of the robins, or the swallows;
others by certain flowers, the lupine
or the sweet clover, which mark the
beginning of summer. Here at the
laboratory the approach of spring is
heralded by packages of dead baby
chicks, and when half grown dead
turkeys arrive, we know that sum-
mer is here.
These 2 to 4-pound dead poults
are very likely to be blackhead
cases, for this disease generally hits
its full stride in July. The heads of
these poults are not black, making
n wonder where the disease got its
name. The right name is entero-
hapatitis; it is for Inflammation,
entero for intestine, and the hepa
for the liver, or, an inflammatory
condition of the liver and the lower
intestine.
So we open this dead poult, tip up
the breastbone, and find spots on
the liver, mostly oval or rounded,
gray or yellow-green in color, from
the size of a pea to the size of a
dime, mostly depressed or sunken,
very many Or few, as the case may
be. The coca, that pair of blind
branches of the lower bowel, are
bulged, hard, obviously inflamed
and entirely different in appearance
from the other intestines. These con-
ditions justify a diagnosis of entero-
hapatitis, or b1ackhead-life is too
short to argue about a name. And
where do we go from here?
Prompt Action Essential
We look over other turkeys, and
may find one Or two with a bright
yellow or yellow-green diarrhea, and
this is the n of the common symp-
toms of blackhead. We pick out all
sick birds, all birds with this diar-
rhea, anything that looks droopy,
and put them in a hospital. We have
to get busy right away, for this dis
ease can take half the flock with
very little effort, and control meas
ures must be started at once if we
are going to a v many turkeys.
If we do not act until 20 or 80 birds
have died, the disease will have
spread through the flock to such an
extent that control will be difficult.
After culling out the sick birds, we
must make arrangements to move
the flock to a clean pasture. AS the
disease is spread through the con-
tamination of feed and water by the
droppings of sick birds, the principal
part of any system of control lie:
in keeping the flock continuously
on range or pasture that is not Sc
contaminated. So, we try to move
the flock on to clean pasture every
week or 10 days.
Right here, most turkey grader
will say that it can't be done; the.
haven't enough pasture to handl
| the turkeys this way, etc., that the.
haven't enough fencing, that tn
coyotes will take the birds, and al
that. 1t isn't possible for us to draw
a map of any such plan, for the la.
of the land is different on ever,
place, but with a few steel posts am
some woven wire, new pastures ca
be arranged without too much ex
