Fie USING TO BE
Raising frogs for the market is
a new industry which is to be
given a trial in the Anchorage dis
trict. An initial shipment of the
croakers reached Anchorage re
cently, consigned to Frank Shank,
who has arranged to carry on his
experiment at Green Lake, on the
homestead of Emil Savola. The
frogs were shipped from the state
of Washington by Mr. Shank’s
father, and came through to An
chorage apparently none the worse
for their long ocean and rail trip.
The frogs have been turned loose
in Green Lake and will be care
fully guarded there until they be
come used to their new surround
ings. And in this connection Mr.
Shank is appealing to the boys of
the Anchorage community to as
sist him in his experiment by not
disturbing the frogs during the
time they are establishing them
selves in their new home. There
were 30 bullfrogs in the shipment
and it is the hope of Mr. Shank
that within a few years there will
be so many he will be able to
make a large annual harvest.
Mr. Shank is not sure that the
frogs will prove useful as exterm
inators of mosquitoes, but that is
one phase of the experiment that
will be watched witli no small
interest, according to the Anchor
age Times.
List your labor wants with us; we will
endeavor to secure for you the help desired.
