Beef Flown
 From island

The first load of beef from Chirikoff has been flown to
 Palmer by a chartered B-23 plane for the Chirikoff Cattle >,..
 Partners Harry Ryan and
 Walter Cooper of Palmer Cold Storage have recently entered
 into partenrship with Charles Waller, of Kent, Wash., a, wholesale meat packer. They
 plan to butcher beef on Chirikoff and transport it by
 plane to Palmer for process
 ing and freezing there. Waller recently purchased the cattle on storied Chirikof, a former Russian prison island, from Jack McCord, of Kodiak. The beef were first planted in 1888 by the Semidi Propaga- :. ton Go. The herd has increas-
 ed to 800 today. Chirikoff is l southwest of Kodiak island. The partnership plan a fall
 roundup, to get under way within a few weeks. They will slaughter about 250 bulls at this time. Construction of cor rals and wing fences is under way and additional equipment will be shipped by barge from Anchorage.
 The Chirikoff roundup will
 be unique, in that cowboys
 and bronchos will carry on a ] small part of the work. The
 COW punching will be done from the skies in a small Aer- onica plane since the wild
 cattle can be handled in no other way.
 The herd has been little dis
 turbed since it was turned to
 graze on the islands pea and
 and Russian wheat forage and
 has reverted almost completely to the wild state.
 After the slaughter the beef will be loaded aboard the B-23, a former Army bomber, and flown direct to Palmer. The g. motored plane will carry a
 9000-pound load. It is expected to make 3 trips a week during the height of the roundup. The Palmer Cold Storage plant has been enlarged to take care of the additional meat packing.

of the anchor beneath the ground
level.
In this case, multiply by 21z and
we have 10 feet as the anchor depth.
AS indicated in the sketch, the
proper place for the reinforcing rods
is near the top of the concrete floor,
not near the bottom. The reason
for this is that water pressure from
beneath the cellar floor tends to
bend" the floor making it convex
on top thereby placing the rods in
tension Also, as indicated, tie the
anchor to the reinforcing rods.
If the area of the floor is to add
the weight of the ground beneath
the floor to the weight of the floor
itself. Should you wish to do your
own figuring, ordinary groun d
weighs about 100 pounds per cubic
foot. Water weighs 625 pounds per
cubic foot. You will find that by
placing the anchor or anchors down
the distance indicated in this sketch
you will have correct balance"

Shop Skills Save
Time, Money

YOUNG MEN FROM farms and
ranches of Montana, who are going
to college, will find the vocational
subjects taught at Rocky Mountain
college at Billings of special interest,
college officials point out. The farm
operator who is skilled at welding,
auto and tractor repair, and able to
do other maintenance work, will
find that he can greatly reduce his
operating expense by doing all or
part of his own work. In addition,
he will further save by avoiding the
loss of time involved in taking his
machinery to some distant shop for
repairs during rush seasons.
The vocational education program
at Rocky Mountain includes auto
motive mechanics, electrical work,
cabinet-making, carpentry, machine
shop and other courses of special in
terest to the farm and ranch youth.
Quite often a student enrolls here
for the vocational subjects, and then
finds as he goes along, that his pri-
mary interest lies in classical edu-
cation or preparation for one of the
professional schools, and as often
the reverse is true, according to col
lege officials.
DR.. William Copeland, president,
pointed out that one of the great
values of the college is enabling stu
dents to find their special interest
and then developing the student to
the limit of his capacity.
During recent years students have
enrolled at Rocky Mountain from
most every state as well as one or
two foreign countries.
