Kodiak Produces
(Continued from Page 8)
What the Department designates
as the Kodiak area, had 97 per cent
of the value of all sheep and lambs
in the State. Broken down, this
would be $176,400 for ewes one
year old and over; $36,880 for fewe
lambs; wether and ram lambs, $31,
700, wethers and rams over one
year old, $129,000, for a total of
$374,400.
Hogs, six month old and over
and pigs under six months, totaled
a valuation of only $2,400. Chicken
production also was insignificant,
with hens at $100, and pullets for
layers and other chickens, $600,
for a mere one per cent of the
state total.
Total income from all sources in
the area, according to the report
was $251,970. Most of this is de
rived from commodities listed
above, with a mere $1,400 derived
from vegetables, mostly potatoes.
The Matanuska Valley area ac
counted for 81 per cent of the total
sale of milk, 40 per cent of the sale
of eggs and 54 per cent of potato
sales.
The three major sources of in
come for Alaska farmers from the
sale of their 1960 products showed
substantial increases in volume of
these commodities sold. Volume of
milk sold, which accounts for over
half of the source of agricultural
income of Alaska, increased 21 per
cent over 1959. The tonnage of po
tatoes for sale increased 8 per cent
while the number of eggs sold by
Alaska producers increased by 4
per cent.'
The volume of wool shorn in
1960 for sale increased by 6 per
cent. Decreases from 1959 in vol
ume of all other commodities in
1960 occurred as follows: Pork 24
per cent; poultry meat 20 per cent;
lamb and mutton 3 per cent; and
less than 1 per cent in beef sold.
Puzzling to cattle raisers and
others in this area are the figures
given in the report for the value of
reindeer meat produced. This is
listed as $180,000, with a total in
come derived from this source
given as $132,000.
Total value of production for this
area is given as $318,700 of a total
of $5,406,410 for the State.

“The Man Who Sold the Eiffel
Tower,” by James F. Johnson as
told to Floyd Miller/Pub. Date:
July 7.
TRIBUTE TO A CON MAN
“Count” Victor Lustig—a man
of twenty-four aliases, five langua
ges, and forty-seven arrests in the
United States with no convictions
—is the subject of “The Man Who
Sold the Eiffel Tower” which
Doubleday will publish on July 7.
This story of one of the cleverest
confidence men of all times is
really a salute to his genius by the
Secret Service agent who spent
most of his career hunting Lustig.
James F. Johnson was so fascinated
by this man that, after Lustig had
died in prison following conviction
on his forty-eighth arrest, he set
out to piece together the stories
he had heard about Lustig. This
book, as he told it to Floyd Miller,
is the account of Lustig’s extraor
dinary career. -
A man with no deep feelings ex
cept avarice, but who could simu
late all the other emotions, Lustig
charmed millionaires and police of
ficials alike on both sides of the
Atlantic. Using his charm, his wits,
and a basic rule which he learned
from a trans-Atlantic gambler —
“make the mark want to give his
money”—Count Lustig proceeded
to sell many respectable business
men, and a sheriff from Oklahoma,
on his brilliant schemes. He was
even able, for example, to sell the
Eiffel Tower for scrap-iron to two
different men!
On his death certificate a federal
clerk made the following ironic
entry. Under the heading Usual
Occupation he wrote. “Apprentice
Salesman.”
