ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN IS

SALMON

i
A national advertising campaign
or canned salmon was recently an
ounced in Seattle by leading fiigures
a the industry, speaking for them
elves and other packers with head
[uarters in Washington and Oregon,
California and Alaska. The salmon
>aek in the Pacific Northwest and
Alaska last year was approximately
',500,000 cases, with an estimated
-alue of $50,000,000.
Salmon packers state they are tak.
ng up this advertising program
ifter mature deliberation, and in the
ight of the large success attained
>y advertised products of California
end other parts of the country7.
They find that England consumes
canned salmon in greater quantities
ier capita than the United States,
rhey think it time to let the Ameri
can public know more about the
sood value of this greatest food
product of the North Pacific.
Comparison of canned salmon with
pther foodsshows a value exceding
per cent for a sirloin steak, 13 per !
cent for fresh eggs and about 9 per
cent for bread.
For a number of years the sal
mon interests have been discussing
m advertising policy, and now that
they have adopted it they are deter
mined to carry it forward with ag-1
?ressivene®s.
ESKIMO COLLEGE
STUDENTS AFTER
REINDEER DEGREE
HARDSHIPS ENTERS DEGREE IN
LEARNING REINDEER
HUSBANDRY
SEATTLE, March 15. (/P)—Getting
a college diploma in animal husband
ry is different in Eskimoland than it
is in the States where there are com
fortable class room s, fraternity
houses and social luxuries.
Eskimo college boys working for
the degree of Bachelor of Herders
must spend four years in the open
learning how to manage a herd of
reineer before they can be graduated.
But when they have triumphed over
open air and class room hardships
they get with their certificates a leg
acy of fifty reindeer with Uncle Sam’s
compliments.
Education of the natives as herds
men was started in 1900. The pre
vious year every person in three vil
lages on St. Lawrence Island' died of
starvation due to scarcity of walrus,
seals and other animals. The gov
ernment seeking a new source of
food supply turned to reindeer.
Dr. Sheldon Jackson, general su
perintendent of the bureau of educa
tion in Alaska, succeeded in buying
sixteen deer in Siberia after travel
ing 1,500 miles in that country. He
found the Siberian Eskimo supersti
tious about selling. Later he was able
to buy 167 more, and at intervals for
ten years animals were purchased and
bought to Alaska.
Laplanders were imported to in
struct the Alaskan Eskimo in the care
of reindeer.
Congress appropriated needed
funds for the educational* work, pro
viding $12,500 for this year. Rein
deer have multiplied and have proven
a valuable food source.
At present the government is con
fronted with diseases threatening the
herds and to cope with the situation
is experimenting wfith cross breeding
thethe reindeer with caribou, a larger
animal that resists disease better.
The work is directed from the United
States Bureau of Education for Alas
ka with headquarters here. Jonathan
H. Wagner, formerly of New Mexico,
is in charge.
