SUPERINTENDENT OF EXPERI
MENTAL FARMS NOT NOTI
FIED OF ANY CHANGES
“As yet I have not received any in
formation with respect, to the organ
ization and personnel of the Alaska
governing organization as arranged
for by Congressional action,” said A.
W. Alberts, superintendent of experi
mental farms in Alaska, who passed
through Seward yesterday en route to
Sitka after inspection of the work at
the farms at Fairbanks and Matanus-,
ka.
Mr. Alberts reports crops at Mata- j

ner year.
“I am as much in the dark as any
one as the the personnel and distribu
tion of governmental responsibilities
in Alaska,” said Mr. Alberts. “I do
not know from what source the Alas
ka Weekly received its information
saying I was to |>e in charge of all
activities of the Agricultural depart
ment, with Dennis Winn representing
the Department of Commerce, and
Governor G. A. Parks chairman of the j
all-Alaska governing board. I have
received no notice from Washington
and will know nothing until the infor
mation comes from that source.”
