TO WESTWARD
Dr. C. C. Georgeson, head of the
Alaska experimental work of the de
partment of agriculture has returned
to his headquarters at Sitka after
inspecting the experimental stations
at Matanuska and Kodiak.
"Both at Matanuska and Kodiak
1 found the crops and condition
of the cattle herds satisfactory,” said
Dr. Georgeson.
"The grain at Matanuska is very
promising. In fact, rarely have I
seen more promising grain. The
spring this year was late and seed
ing, therefore, was late and the
growth rather slow.
BUILDING NEW BARN
"The new barn we are building
will not be completed until next
spring though a part of it will be
ready to receive our new cattle this
fall. The cattle—a new breed in Al
aska—are milking shorthorns which
1 purchased this spring from an Iowa
breeder. They have been sent to
Fairbanks and to Matanuska for
breeding purposes.
"The Matanuska station is in
charge F. E. Rader, a graduate of the
Kansas State Agricultural College,
and a fine man for this pioneer
work.
STATIONS AT KODIAK
“At Kodiak we have practically
two stations. Our headquarters there
are in the town of Kodiak where we
have a small reservation. As it was
not large enough we had to open
ui) more land on Kalsin Bay, about
15 miles from Kodiak, where our
main pastures are located.
“A new barn, modern in every
respect, is being built there. Abso
lutely sanitary, its floors are of ce
ment, itsw alls covered with a sani
ment, its walls covered with a sani
ehions within the barn are of iron
piping. Fresh, clear running water
is piped from a stream running out
of a nearby gorge.
EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL
"The tubercular cows have all been
eradicated from the herd at Kodiak
but before killing them however, we
experimented with them to discover
whether or not we could raise heal
thy calves from the diseased parents.
We isolated the tubercular animals
but continued to breed them. We
raised the calves apart from the par
ents and fed them upon sterilized
milk. Not one of the calves carried
the disease, indicating conclusively
that tuberculosis is not transmitted
by the parents but acquired from;
food or contact with the disease
after birth. We have G head of cat
tle, entirely sound in health.
TWO BREEDS CROSSED
"At Kodiak we are carrying out
another experiment, attempting to
cross the Galoway and Holstein-Frie
sian cattle. Alaska is in need of a
good family cow, hardy, active, a good
rustler, but one that will give a
large quantity of milk. The Galloway
cow fills all the qualifications ex
cept that it is not a good milk cow.
We have several herds of crosses:
but they are not old enough for us
to determine whether or not the ex
periment has been successful.
“Our sheep herd is increasing slow
ly. Because of some freak of nature,
the lambs are mostly rams instead
of ewe lambs. The rams we sell
after shearing, the ewes we keep to
increase our flock.
“We raise our own feed for the
herd at Kodiak but because of the
rain we have been upable to put up
any hay.
“The trip lias been a success,” Dr.
Georgeson concluded,” and I am well
pleased with conditions as I found
them.’’

MANILLA, P. T„ Oct. 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Uniforms for Filipino
students in the United States to
distinguish them from Japanese, are
suggested by Victorio Ciscar, a Fil
ipino student at the College of Pu
get Sound, Tacoma, in a communi
cation received here today by a
government official. Ciscar urged
that the Filipino commissioners at
Washington prescribe such a uni
form, particularly for all Filipinos
on the Pacific coast.
Mistreatment of Filipino students,
mistaken for Japanese, prompted
the request, Ciscar wrote. He said
that he had been obliged to ask
for police protection from a crowd
when mistaken for a Japanese. Fil
ipinos also find difficulty in ob
taining employment for the same
reason, Ciscar wrote. •

TRADESMEN OF
Jl \N AGAINST
SHIPPING BILL
KORE, Japan, Oct. 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Various trade organ
izations of Kobe, Osaka and Kioto
have addressed a joint letter to the
chambers of commerce in American
cities and to a number of Ameri
can railroads protesting against the
Jones’ shipping law and giving rea
sons on which the objection is based.
The writers express the opinion
that when the new act becomes ef
fective it will drive all foreign ves
sels from the coast of the United
Slates.
Atter pointing out tnat ioreign
steamers will very likely be with
drawn from the trans-Paclfic route
because of the preferential railroad
rate to American steamers and sent
to the Atlantic coast by way of
Panama or Suez thus delaying the
arrival of goods which used to cross
the continent by railroad, the writ
ers point out that such a diversion
of ocean traffic will result in ma
terial loss to the Pacific coast
ports which are served by foreign
steamers, while the revenue of the
trans-continental railroads must al
so suffer seriously.
In conclusion, the letter says it
is sometimes asserted that the Jones’
act was formulated in retaliation for
similar measures existing in Japan,
hut it emphasizes that such ail as
sertion has no foundation. It af
firms that the Japanese government
has never provided preferential rail
way rates for goods shipped in Jap
anese. bottoms, nor charged addi
tional duties on goods imported in
foreign bottoms or tonnage due on
foreign vessels entering Japanese
ports.
The letter is signed by the Kobe
exporting Association, the Nagoya
Crockery Exporting Association and
the trade association of Osaka and
Kyoto.
