The average cloud mess for the month was very close to normal with 64% of possible sunshine. At the beginning of the month there was 68 inches of snow on the ground and this de- creased to 37 inches by the end of this month.

Public Accountants
 Must Be Bonded

Governor Greuning's address at the opening of the l949 session of the Legislature stressed the need for enlarged supervision of pub lie accountants and asked that they be bonded in the interest of protection of the public. House Bill 90 regulating the accountancy profession passed and became eff fective April l, l949.
 The major change in the law is the requirement that all public ac- countants be licensed and bonded. Heretofore only certified public accountants have been recognized by law. The old board of account ancy has been abolished and in it's place there is a Board of Public Accountancy, of five members, only two of whom are certified. Acting Governor Lew Williams appointed the members of the new board, which has been organ ized as follows: Marshall Crutcher of Kodiak, president; Elmer C.. Johnson. Ketchikan, secretary: Charles M. Marles, Ketchikan, treasurer; Joseph A. Boulet, Fair banks, and Clayton Esslinger, Pal mer.
 Public accountants who were in active practice before April l, l949 are entitled to be licensed without examination if they com ply with the Act before July l, l949. Hereafter no one may en- gage in the public practice of ac- counting until he has been a resi- dent of the Territory for one year and has passed an examination. Nonresident accountants may ob- tain licenses by reciprocity with other states but will have to be bonded and must pay a license fee of $25OOO.
 The Board has ruled that all present and future accountants must post surety bonds of S2,500 to protect their clients against wrongdoing.
 The first examination to be given will start next November l6 and will last two days. The exam nations for public accountants will be much easier than the ex- amina.ions that are given to certi- fed public accountants.
 The full board met in Juneau and has been in session five days. l. is likely that the next meeting vii be in Palmer, in the Spring of 1850. The board estimates that the fees to be collected under .he new ac: will be about S2,500 per annum and that it will cost that amour. to administer the Ac:.

THOSE HIGHER POSTAL RATES


 The 80th Congress granted the postal employees the pay raise they demanded and thus created a postal deficit of around 800 million dollars, according to the Postmaster Generals report Part of this has been passed back onto public in the form of higher rates for parcel post air mail money orders, and 3rd class matter but remained for special law to increase the rates newspapers and magazines The new rates on newspapers, contained in House Bill 2945, IS supposed to raise an additional 25 million dollars year. and probably would do so if it didn't put too many of the small newspapers out Of business.
 Newspapers have been paying rate of 11. cents a pound on reading matter in each issue The new rate would increase local mailings by 2 per copy and increase the rate advertising matter from 25 to 100 per according to the percentage of advertising red Then the Postmaster General asks that after one year these rates be raised by 50 per cent.
 But there is little 'jOker in this bill that may prove to have quite "kick-back" on the many government bureaus.
 One provision of the proposed bill classes adver- Using any wre-up designed to promote any product attraction
 When Jim Farley postmaster general, he decided that matter account of what had already happened. If the future was involved, 1t was adVertls ing. Even church notices came under the advertising section but as this department order and not law the newspapers disregarded it, and it not push ed through law. If Congress approves the present bill, 1t will have to be Obeyed.
 The low postage rate on newspapers was made be- the government does not pay for advertising the drectves aims at the general public The newspapers have been depended to publish at their own expense
 
 income tax notices and hundreds of others we'll AAA schedules conservation plans, extension depart meetings and similar notices of local advantage and importance These would call for the high advertis ing postage rate under the bill
 Even if all these future date" notices were omitted from this paper is plain that the subscription rate would have to be increased Then if the usual of fu ture community events were published without being paid for at advertising rates another raise in subscrp ton would have to be added Some of the weaker weekes refuse to print such notices at the present Every mail brings to newspaper propaganda from the many hundreds of government bureaus which would be chased as advertising it from pri- vate agency. They pay postage on such maings of Some of this is informative and may appear in print, but of it goes direct to the waste basket where all of it will go if the new postage bill passed If the government would dispense with such maings which mostly puffs" for overstaed bureaus, they might save enough expense money to secure the regular run of free publicity they have been receiving-but won't get under their schedule of rates

LEAN VERSUS LARD
III !

Well it happened The price of lard is below the
price of live hog the hoof This situation causing much
hog and packers The producer
is willing place the responsibility of solving the problem
the packers but shucks who buys hogs It's the
packers and they will quote their price to their
necks.
To illustrate how lard cuts the packers profit let's take
200 pound hog let's say costs the packers $250 per
dred This hog will render "a pounds of lard from it's 30
pounds of fat which in turn represents As pounds of live
hog $967 The lard at II cents per pound worth 1884
Thus the packer losses 3 the lard of 200 pound hog
Lard on the hoof is worth about six cents pound.
To compensate for this oss the packer downs the price
live pork and ups the price of ham, pork chops and bacon
The producers only immediate solution in this problem
is that OF finishing the @ hogs at lighter eghs ana get away
lean meat from the 43 billion bushel supply
in prospect
If the farmers of the nation would market their hogs
when they weigh about 20O20 pounds this year instead of
the customary 2503OO pounds the u population would
have 500 million pounds of edible pork and $50 million
pounds less lard
This would result in higher hog prices for the
farmer and lower pork prices for the consumer condition
that all looking for.

weakening ourselves and risking

weakening ourselves and risking
all that we give away.
There is a further fact, too
little known by our people and
that is the existence today of
more than eighty trade treaties
between the countries we are
helping and Russia and her
group of puppet nations. 1t is
certain that much of our mater
ial, either before or after process
ing, finds its way behind the
Iron Curtain.
To be strong for the future the
United States should pay as
much of our great debt as we
can while times are good. Only
thus can we be financially pre-
pared for a war abroad or a de-
preston at home. The United
States must maintain armed
forces in all branches of the serv-
ice, and we must produce atom
bombs to the limit of our ability.
Only fifty-eight miles separ-
ate Russian Siberia from Amer
ican Alaska. We had better spend
some of our dollars in Alaska
rather than in Europe. Air bases
in England, Greenland, Alaska
and the Pacific are logical but
they should be wholly under our
control.
The greatest exercise of wis
dom requires that we build our
own strength and do nothing
that could possibly add to the
war power of Russia.
AS an act of Christian charity
America can send food and
clothing for the needy people of
Marshall Plan nations at frac-
tion of the cost of the present
program. This would not help
Russia and would consume some
of our surplus farm products that
are worry to both our farmers
and the government. We can kill
two birds with one stone and at
the same time balance our ma
tionai budget and make some re-
duction of the national debt.

higher total production, and an
adequate market for his products,
OF course, the farmer must not
push his current production to
the point where it depletes the
soil and interferes with long
term production. Hence, his first
concern must be the adoption of
soil conservation methods so well
advocated by the Soil COnserva-
tiOn Service.
But how does he find the markets
for increased production? First,
he must sell more abroad. Second,
we have laboratories trying to find
more industrial uses for agricultural
products, the science of chemurgy.
Third, it ought to be possible to
educate the American people to
eat more animal products, that is,
dairy products, pork, beef, poultry,
and eggs. Such food is more tasty.
1t gives a better diet. If the con-
sumption of animal products in this
country could be increased 5 per
cent, the animals necessary would
soon consume the surpluses of
grain.
WHAT about price support ?
w In 194S Congress passed the
Aiken price support bill on the rec
ommendation of the Farm Bureau,
the Grange, and many agricultural
experts. 1t was testified for by
Mr.. Brannan; it was signed with
approval by Mr.. Truman; but, be-
cause the support figure was lower
than 80 per cent, they promptly
made a political issue of it against
the Republicans in 1948.
After the election, Mr.. Bran
nan brought in his plan for
