Big Arctic Herds Naking Venison
Connon as Sirloin.
(John G. Holmes in the American
Scandinavian Review.)
The horior of 'being the pioneer i n
Aladka's rapidly growing reindeer in
dustry -belongs indisputably to Uncle
Sam. 'He started the business thirty
years ago and it -has flourished mighti
ly ever since., The pioneers In the
commercial development of Alaska
reindeer were American -Scandinav
Inns, mostly men of 'Norwegian des
cent. They are now the largest Indi
vidual reindeer owners in Alaska and
it is not unlikely that they own the
biggest herds in the -world. i
'Tlie introduction of reindeer into
Alaska was initiated with the imlpor
tation fron S'iferia of 171 animals,
which were landed on the shores of
Port* Clarence Bay on the nation's
birthday, July 4, .1892. In the course
of the next ten years, 1,109 more were
brought over, the total importation
being 1,280. In 1898 some reindeer
were shipped from Norway to Alaska
for the relief of the starving miners
at Circle City, but theqe -were sled
deer and contained no breeding-stock.
The -purpose of the introsluction of
reindeer into Alaska -was to malce of
the Eskimos a self-supporting Ipeople,
the management of the herds and dis
tribution of deer being made under the
auspices of the bureau of education,
department of the interior. -In order
to teach the Eskimos reindeer farming
about sixty Lappa received for their
own use a few deer on condition that
after dive years they should return an
etiual number of animals to Uncle Sam.
'lhey .were allowed to keel) any num
ber in excess of what they had origin
ally received. Both Lapps 'and Es
kinm6s were forbidden to slaughter fe
male deer during the time of their pro
ductiveness-a rule that is still in
force.
This -policy of protecting the cows,
while the steers have been used for
meat and skins, accounts for the
amazing increase- of the Alaska rein
(leer herds. The original stock of
.1,280 animals have multknlled. in less
than -thirty years to a grand total of
360,000. Of this number albout one
hundred thousand have been slaught
ered, leaving about 1-4 million 'rein
deer in Alaska at tWe .present time.
Americans of Norwegian descent
have been the first white men in
Alaska to recognize the great possi
bility of the reindeer industry. About
eight years ago they began to purchase
herds front La-pps and from missions
which wished to dispose of their hold
ings, and ever since individual herds
have been passing into their hands.
The largest reindeer owner in Alaska
today is a syndicate, 'Lomen & 'Co.,
conmosed principally of American Nor
wegians and headed iby Judge G. J. To
men. The company owns about thirty
thousand deer, or about 15 per cent of
tile total stock in the country. About
70 'ever cent is owyed by a thousand
Eskimos; the government owns 4 per
cent, and the renlainder is distributed
among a few ibapps and missions..
The Lomen company has a -big
slaughter house at Nome and several
smaller ones, all with cold storage
plants, and it may be said to be on a
biag -production ibasis. 'Several thous
and steers are slaughtered annually
and shipped to the 'United States by
way of Seattle. Judge Lomen claims
that the reindeer industry is nowv the
most rapidly growing industry of Alas
'ka, and that, dfiguring on a basis of
p~resent prices, should within twenty
years range between four and flyve mil
lion reindeer, which is all the coun
try's .grazing facilities can supsport, and
there avould then 1)e a surplus for
slaughter of as hmch as a million ani
mials yearly. Reindeer meat differs
considerably from venison, the meat of
the wild deer. It is said by experts to
combine the juiciness of beef with the
dlelicacy -and tenderness of venison.

ULAIMS METHOD CONTIROL

Planmut Conjmissioner of FlorIda Says
Weak Point of Weevil has been
Found and 'Farmer Will iNow be

low.,
Gainesville, Fla., Nov. 1.-.Develop
ment of a satisfactory method of con
trolling the boll weevil on short sta
p~le, or 'uoland cotton, was announced
here tonight by WVr. Wilson Newvell,
p~lant commissioner for the state lplant
board and director of .the University
of IFlorida Exiperihhent Station.
Dr. *Newell's announcement swas
made ah the result of the -successful
culmination of research work -by Gee.
D. Smith, associate entomelogist, con
ducted under the auspices of the State
Plant Board.
The method involves a principle of
1b011 weevil control heretofore not recc
ognized by oler iuqvestigators, Dr.
Newell said, and he added that the to
tal cost of, treatment, labor included,
does not exceed $1.60 or $2 an acre. In
the filds treated, the cotton, crop in
nearly every instance has 'been as
large as that obtained prior to the ad
vent ofe~the weevil.
While some ioison is iused the
amount is comparatively small, Dr.
Newell said. .By means of the im
proved method a cotton field is cleared
of *ar.t'en'lly al! I l weevils early in
June and r.-mni:n.n in'that condition for
several weeks. 'During this period a
good crop of bolls is set without wvee
nIl interference.
Both the st'atp plant board and the
eoperi'ment station awill issue immedi
ately bulletins on the improved
method of .control, .
"The boll weevil's weak point has
now been found," declared Dr. Newvell,
"and by this method of, control the
