Bartlett Asks
 Public Hearing on Freight Increase

T submit that the people of Alaska are entitled to a measure of protection from Federal Mari time Board which they will not receive without immediate hear ings," Delegate E. L. Bartlett stat ed earlier this week in calling upon the Federal Maritime Board to hold hearings without delay on the seven and one-half percent freight rate increase now in ef- feet on shipments to Alaska of the Alaska Steamship Company and Coastwise Line.
 It will be recalled that the two companies in January of this year filed with the Board a 10 percent freight rate increase to become effective February 10. The tariff was suspended until Y cz. P by the Board at the re- quest of Del. Bartlett and others urging hearings before such rates were put into effect. Later the companies filed a petition for per mission to file on not less than one days notice amendments to their existing tariffs, naming in- creases not to exceed seven and one-half percent and cancelling the previous schedules naming in- creases Of 10 percent. The Board granted the permission sought by the companies to apply seven and one-ha1f percent increases on one days notice with the understand ing that the companies would "unda take to maintain the bur den of proof to show that the in- creased rates are just and reason able"

Alaskan Livestock Show Little Disease

Commissioner of Agriculture Jim Wilson, and Dr. Fred Hon. singer returned to Palmer this past weekend following a trip to the Fairbanks area where a total of 165 domestic animals were tested for Bangs disease and tu- berculosis.
 'The health picture is greatly improved over previous years" '" the men reported We found very few reactive cases of Bangs disease and no tuberculosis, they added.
 Testing of herds in the Matan- uska Valley area will be conduct ed by Dr. James Parzaruski, Will son reported. Approximately 175 head have been tested in the Seward, Kenai area.
 Work on revised livestock reg ulations is now being conducted by the Department, Wilson said.

Most of the States have such a program under way, hoping to establish a national standard, :, Wilson explained.

Wheat Problems
In Other Lands

WHEAT GROWERS and governments
in other countries of the world are
having their problems, too, according
to the International Federation of Agri-
cultural Producers.
Wheat farmers in Turkey are going
to get the equivalent of 1921 bushel
for top grade wheat. Last year the
support program cost the Turkish gov
eminent more than $40 million and will
probably cost more this year because of
declining world prices.
Guaranteed price in Japan is the
equivalent of $2.61 bushel.
In France the support price of wheat
is pegged to the cost-of-living index.
This year the index brought the price
of wheat down 16 cents to 1874 a bushel
for soft wheat. This price, plus hand
ling and transport charges has meant
that France has had to pay subsidy
of between $1.34 to $157 a bushel so
that French wheat can be competitive
abroad. France is worried that as
surplus wheat stocks go up and price
go down the amount of subsidy may in
crease.

makes holes, as shown in the sketch.
And sometimes holes are created by
chopping ice out of the troughs in the
winter time. The chopper carelessly
chops clear through the ice and metal.
An excellent remedy is to bend a
piece of sheet metal to fit smoothly over
the entire hole in the trough. Then
apply tar or asphalt, such as is sold
in cans, to the portion of trough that
the patch will touch. Press the patch
against it. That, alone, is usually
enough to prevent further leakage. But,
to make the job positively leak proof,
apply more of the tar or asphalt prep
aration around the edges of the patch,
as indicated in the sketch marked
Hole Closed" 1t will be good looking
job, usually.
