TAKE SHIP XOAD OF MILCH COX'$

BERLIN Feb. 24. Formality and
ceremony received a number of severe
jolts during the recent tour of Ger-1
many just completed hy fifteen Amer-
ican farmer boys "who came to Ger-
many with a ship load of milch cows
which were given to Germany by
American farmers. The fifteen young
men returned to Berlin after an ex-
tended tour of the former Emphe and
after having visited practically all
the principal cities.' The Americans
we.re natives of Indiana Texas and
Kansas and were brought here from
the unconventional atmosphere of the
prairies. The reception committee
which gathered at the various sta-
tions expecting to see a frock coated
delegation were astonished to ses
the bunch of Ureezy Americans swarm
off the special car. Ignoring the dig-
nified burgomasters the officials ex-
tended their hands to the farmers
shouting: "You fellows work; ypur
hands are calloused. The Germans
generally find it a hard matter to un-

MARKET
REINDEER MEAT
EXPORTS HAYE GROWN RAPIDLY
AND 5000 CARCASSES ARE
READY FOR SALE.
. (By international News Service)
WASHINGTON Feb 25. "Reindeer
steak for two'
That . Is an order likely soon lo be
heard In many restaurants throughout
the country. '
Marketing reindeer meat in the Unit-
ed JStates is one cf the newest prob-
lems that has been put up to the Bu-
reau of Markets of the Department of
Agriculture for solution. Alaska has
approximately 200.000 reindeer a
number that leaves a considerahle
surplus over what is needed for home
consumption. Specialists estimate that
Alaska is ready to market 5000 car-
casses at present The fact that the
herds "have increased from 10000 head
in 1S05 to 200000 in 1920 indicates
how soon the marketnig of reindeer
will be a real problem.
During "the ' last few years exports
of this meat have increased rapidlyi
In 1914 only 75 carcasses were ship-
ped out of Alaska; in 1920 about 1600
dressed reindeer carcasses were ship-
ped into the United States. It is
thought that within the next fifteen
years there may be between four and
five million reindeer with an annual
surplus of one million carcasses that
much reach a market somewhere out-.
side the territory. At present prices
this surplus would be worth 60000-
000. It is reported that a company with
its headquarters in Nome has already
established cold .storage plants for
handling 12000 carcasses each year.
The meat will be held for shipment
to the United States.
Distribution costs are high but pro-
duction costs are low. At present
rates it costs about $110 a ton to tran-
sport reindeer meat from Nome to
Minneapolis. The Eskimos own 70 per
cent of the herds and the only item
of production cost is that of herding
the animals. Alaskan reindeer weigh
about 150 pounds to the dressed car-
cass but the average weight can be
increased to 300 pounds by cross-
breeding the reindeer with the cari-
bou which is a larger and heavier
animal.

ST. AUGUSTINE Feb. 24. As President-Elect
Harding completes the
formation of his cabinet he is giving-
increased attention to the first big administrative-
task the reorganization
of the executive machinery of the gpv-
ernment. Detailed plans have hot yet been
formed but it is known that Mr.
Harding proposes sweeping changes
in many departments and bureaus and
that he expects to enlist the. ablest
administrators he can lind in the
work of Reorganization. It is under- 1
stiod that he told his advisers that he
regarded the chairmanship of reor-
ganization committees virtually on a
par with cabinet portfolios.
Congress has already created a com-
mitee to arrange plans for the simpli-
fication of the executive branck with
a view to preventing duplication of
work and the cutting down of the gov-
eminent payroll. It is expected that
this committee will work in. close cc
operation with the reorganization-
agency. The establishment of a sep-
arate department of public welfare is.
one of the biggest innovations propos-
ed by Mr. Harding.
