Massachusetts, changed his vote
f:om nay to yea, making the re

considered that a tax of $2 pe~

to the greater mining of this

CANADIAN SALMON
WORTH MONEY
-x
Those fishermen who catch
pink salmon this summer with a
Canadian tag on its adipose fin
cn the back of the tail, and who
return the tag to the Pacific
Biological Survey Station at
Nanaimo, B. C., will receive 25
cents for the tag and fin and
they may sell the fish to the
American buyers for the cent
and a half or so that will be
olfered this summer.
The Nanaimo station two years
ago marked and released 18,000
salmon fry at McClintock, Mas
sett Inlett, B. C. and according
to the Biological Survey, should
icturn this year. The marking
made was to permit the scien
tists to definitely establish the
migatory movement of pink
salmon.
The following instructions are
to be followed by fishermen:
Date and place of capture, sex
of fish, the scars shown where
the fin has been removed, about
20 scales from the side of the
fish between the dorsal fin and
the lateral line.
REINDEER MEAT SAVES
ESKIMOS FROM STARVATION
-X
The reindeer of Alaska this
past winter are. credited with
averting a severe famine situa
uation among the Eskimos, ac
cording to the department of
the interior.
Food shortage in the Kotzebue
Sound region, including the Es -
kimo village of Derring, Buck
land, Selawick, Shungnak, and
Noorvik, was alleviated by quick
action on the part of the bureau
of Indian affairs in rushing sup
plies of reindeer meat to the
villages.
With proper supervision of the
herds of reindeer, it was pointed
out by the bureau, there could
be no possibility of a really
critical food shortage arising in
this section.
The reindeer were originally
introduced into Alaska from
Siberia between the years of
1891-1902, with the purpose ol
providing relief for the natives
who derived food and clothing
from the animal. The number of
these animals imported was
1,280 and this small herd has
since multiplied into approxi
mately 700,000 head. Of this
number the government owns
between 10,000 and 12,000.

WHOLESALE TREK
‘BACK TO FARM’
HAS OPPOSITION
-x
Wholesale “back to the farm”
movement of industrial unem
ployed is opposed by the na
tional advisory and legislative
committee on land use, created
under the direction of Secretary
Hyde.
City personal tragedies and
group distress attendant upon
such efforts in the past, the com
mittee has requested Congress
to give the Agriculture Depart
ment authority to guide the
movements now taking hold in
many large industrial centers
and which may react against the
farmers.
There is need, the committee
said, “for public policy in guid
ing and directing them and in
preventing exploitation, result
ing in the adoption of unwise
types of land settlement.”
Efforts to promite colonies of
unemployed on undeveloped
lands was frowned upon by the
committee.
The advisory group said in its
opinion the best opportunity ot
aiding the jobless is through
providing some of them with
land near large cities on which
they can raise sufficient food in
gardens to tide them over.
