KJILS1 SUBSTATION
ON KODIAK MADE
NEW HEADQUARTERS
With the object of devoting pract
ically all t'he energy of the govern
ment experimental farm on Kodiak
to animal husbandry and grastology
in the belief that livestock raising
on the Kodiak-Afognak group wdl
prove more profitable than farm
cultivation, all the activities at the
Kodiak station will be transfered to
the sub-station at Kalsin, 16 miles
away where future headquarters will
be maintained according to W. T.
White, in c'harge of the government
experimental aliimal husbandry in
til territory, who has just passed
thru Seward. Th/a change has been
necessitated by better facilities in the
handling of fe/od and better condi.
ions generally for the work. Peter
Johnson, foreman is in direct charge
of the work.
“Ou'r investigations thus far indic
ate a great livestock future for the
Kodiak group and possibly many
other islands to the Westward,” said
Mir. Wh|:ev “Giralftolc^ty lit evilly
means the study of grasses, rang*e
conditions and how much stock can be
buecessfully handled on a given area.
Coupled with this is the study of the
most suitable bneeds of cattle and
sheep to be adotped, which com°s
inder the head of animal husbandly.
