VITAL PROBLEMS.
Shortage of labor in the agricul
tural states is resulting in a reduc
tion of acreage which threatens Am
erica’s food supply, according to the
finding of Perley F. Walker, dean
oi the Kansas University engineer
ing school, made.public recently at
national headquarters of the Ameri
can Society of National Engineers.
The dean is head of a research com
mittee of the Mid-Continent section
of that society.
Dean Walker found population at
a standstill or declining in agricul
tural sections, pointing out that 1>J
of thp 105 counties in Kansas pre
vented that state from decreasing
in population in a decade, the in
creases all being in industrial sec
tions. "The same thing holds good
in Iowa and doubtless in other
states for the sema period,” the
dean reported.
Many farmers cannot pay their
1010 debts because the railroads are
unable to move their wheat harvest,
and they are paring down produc
tion, he said.
As a remedy, Dean Walker sug
gested a study by engineers of the
economies of transportation and pro
duction, with a view to systematiz
ing a national fitting of enterprises
to localities. This, he thought, would
work out better distribution of pop
ulation where needed and would pre
vent continued inability of the
transportation systems to meet the
demands upon them.

AVAKOFF SAYS TRAIL
THREATENED BY SNOW
Harry Avakoff, Fairbanks jewel
er, arrived in Fairbanks last evening
from the coast, having made the
trip in over the trail in just two
days. He made the run in the Abe
Stein auto, driven by Billy Kelt'er.
and reports "S splendid trip with the
exception of a short distance on
the summit, where they found con
siderable fresh snow.
Avakoff predicts that storms and
additional snow will soon put the
Richardson trail out of commission,
as it will be practically impossible
for the automobile men to keep the
snow packed and Sfe trail open.
Avakoff went to the Alaska coast
to pick out a location for his firm,
but he does not state whether or not
he found a suitable place. He vis
ited Juneau, Ketchikan and other
coast towns.
He reports grouse very plentiful
along the trail.
