That the salmon canneries of Alas
ka are facing a serious condition in
the shortage of tin cans to put up
their product is the assertion of can
merymen and others who are conver
sant \?lth the situation. All of the
tanneries have placed the contracts
for cans or can making material, hut
only those who contracted for early
delivery are sure of receiving their
supplies in time to take advantage of
the salmon run. Others are still wait
ing shipment.
Several of the new canneries con
templating opening for business this
season may be forced to wait until
next year before breaking into the
game on this account. No trouble mis
been experienced on account of a
shortage of tin because the American
Tin Plate company, the largest manu
facturer of tin has a sufficient quan
tity of block tin on hand for all needs.
The trouble comes from a shortage
of steel ingots of the required fineness
and size to roll the plates which are
afterwards coated with tin to make
the tin plate.
Ammunition shells are made of vir
tually the same materials as tin can.
If war demands draws plate to muni
tion factories instead of to can-mak
ers the shortage that is experienced to
occur in any event, will undoubtedly
become much worse.
Eastern can-makers declare them
selves unable to keep pace with the
demands. Larger canners who took
deliveries early, are congratulating
themselves on having their warehous
es stocked against the threatened
shortage.
While individually pushing your car
of progress to the front, don’t forget
that Cameron’s “Car” needs a little
grease. 736

URGES TILLING
OF THE SOIL
TERRITORY OF ALASKA
By the Governor.
PROCLAMATION
Whereas the maintenance of a food
supply is absolutely essential to na
tional preparedness; and
Whereas the people of this terri
tory and the United States have cause
for grave concern, owing to the de
pletion of the food reserves of the
world through crop shortages of last
year, increased demands from the
countries engaged in war^ and the
fact that there is little promise of
abundant winter grain crops; and
Whereas, while Alaska is not strict- ]
ly an agricultural country, still it is
well known that our soil is capable of
producing many kinds of fruits and
vegetables, and especially potatoes i
may be raised in abundance.
And it is clearly recognized that i
the man who tills the soil and pro
duces food for his family at home will
thus aid in furnishing food for the
soldier in the field by decreasing our
importations of certain kinds of food
stuffs. A service may, in this way.
be rendered as truly patriotic as that
given by the men who bear the brunt
of battle.
Therefore, in the present crisis a
peculiar responsibilty rests upon the
farming population and citizens gen- j
erally of this territory, and there is !
imperative need that the people of
Alaska shall fully realize the necessi
ty for the largest possible production
of farm products during the present
year, and every available plot of
land should be utilized yf> the produc
tion of foodstuffs;
Now, therefore, I, J. F. A. Strong,
governor of the territory of Alaska,
do urge upon the farmers of Alaska i
and the citizens of the respective!
towns, that they recognize this re
sponsibility and their duty to safe- i
guard the welfare of the territory and !
the nation in this crisis, and to plant;
ground and increase the volume of i
agricultural products and thus les- j
sen the importation of such into the j
territory. In this way the develop-,
ment of agriculture will be promoted j
and thrift increased in a way that will i
redound to the benefit of all the peo- i
pie.
Given under rny hand and the seal
of the territory of Alaska, in Juneau,;
the capital, this second day of May,
in the year of our Lord one thousand \
nine hundred and seventeen, and of
the independence of the United States:
the one hundred and forty-first.
Signed) J. F. A. STRONG.
By the Governor:
(Sgd ). CHARLES E. DAVIDSON,
Ex-officio Secretary of Alaska.
