Are small birds eating up
most of your garden? This year
the pests are small sparrows.
One gardener has the theory
that the birds are chiefly after
small insects that infest leafy
or flowerette type vegetables,
such as kale, swiss chard, and
cauliflower, and that the birds
then eat the greens that harbor
the insects. However, birds
have been known to eat radish
leaves, and even cabbage and

“The Redcoats are coming!" This midnight warning spared
our revolution a crippling blow—earned Paul Revere a place
in history. Today, Dew Line radar stations, powered by Alaskan
rural electrics, might be the ones to save America from a
sneak attack.
Like Faul Revere, these local electric systems are only part
time soldiers. Besides helping defense outposts scan the roo,
of the world with sleepless radar “eyes,” they have a regular job^
RUrai electrics now serve faraway dots on the map around
Kotzebue, Anchorage, and Kodiak. Twelve widely-scattered co
operatives are the only source of power and light for 87 per
cent of all farms in Alaska .. . bring big-city conveniences to
over 100 000 consumers in the land of the midnight sun.
These arctic counterparts of electric cooperatives in older
states help to speed the growth of this new frontier. As power
supplies ha part of the vast defense system that encircles our
country, rural electrics help give all Americans added security
and peace of mind.

GAME DEPARTMENT FORECASTS POOR
CARIDOU HUNTING EARLY IN SEASON
The early season forecast for
caribou hunters looks poor, ac
cording to Loren W. Croxton,
regional game supervisor of
; the Alaska department of fish
and game. A recent aerial re
| connaissance of the Nelchina
caribou range revealed that
most of the herd is still high
j on the windy ridgetops seeking
I relief from the pesty flies.
This means that there are
few animals along the road
system, and hunters on the
Glenn and Denali Highways
will find slim pickings when
the season officially opens on
Saturday. Aug. 10.
There will be plenty of op- ;
portunity for caribou hunters '
: to connect, however, for the
I season extends through March
31 of next year, with a limit
of three caribou (either sex)
per hunter. The long season
was established to provide a
greater probability (but not a
guarantee!) that the animals;
would be accessible to hunters
at least once during the year.
The Nelchina caribou are
scattered widely over the range
at present, with concentrations
occurring at the head of the
Little Nelchina River, upper
Black River, the mountains be
tween Kosina Creek and the
Talkeetna River, and the Butte
Lake area. Much of the area is
inaccessible, but airplane hunt
ers should be able to get cari
bou at Black, Clarence. Wat
ana, Deadman, Butte, Monsoon,
Soule, and Fog Lakes. The
Eureka-Caribou Creek area
has only a few scattered ani
mals now, but the concentra
tion at the head of the Little
Nelchina River might move
south. Various outfitters along
the Denali Highway should be
able to transport hunters to the
caribou herds grazing the al
pine meadows east of Butte
Lake without too much trou
ble. As usual, however, one is
apt to find a few caribou just
about anywhere, so keep your
eyes open!
It is normal for the caribou
to remain high in the moun
tains during much of July and
early August says caribou bio
logist, Ron Skoog. At that time
Makeshift Shelves
Don't foe tempted to use old
! refrigerator shelves for racks
I in your homemade smoke
house, advised Harry Leck
wold, local refrigeration tech
nician, this week.
He noted an article in the
July, 1963 issue of Popular M»
chanics, which points out that
many household articles are
coated with cadmium metals.
j the flies are quite bothersome
| to the animals, and windy rid
ges and river bars offer some
relief. About mid-August the
| caribou begin to move down
the slopes somewhat, and by
early September the Nelchina
i head will have started its fall
i migration, which usually
brings it close to the Denali
Highway and into the Eureka
area and Lake Louise Flats by
late September and October.

The article cites the case of
the family which became vio
lently ill after eating steak,
baked potatoes, and salad. In
vestigators found that the
steak had been grilled on an
old refrigerator shelf, and that
heat had caused the cadmium
in the plating material to pois

Your best safeguard, the ar
