green grass into the silos. The cattle are
kept up at night, but that is to protect them
from the bears rather than on account of the
cold. We can raise cattle almost anywhere
in the Yukon valley but the trouble there is
the long winters, when they have to be fed
for something like eight months of the
year"
In the interior of Alaska the grass grows
almost everywhere to the height of ones
head, continued Professor Georgeson Il
have seen man patches as tall as a man upon
horseback. A few years ago I visited the
Holy Cross mission on the Lower Yukon.
The mission station owned a small herd of
cattle, which it had in pasture. Adjoining
this was about 90 acres of wild grass that
had been reserved for hay asked permis-
sion to turn the cattle into this tract that
might photograph them They were driven
in, but | could not make the picture The
animals were lost in the grass, which tow
cred two or three feet above their heads.
Such grass is found in southwestern Alaska,
and everywhere on the moist grounds
throughout the interior. 1t makes valuable
hay if it is cut early, but if left to ripen it
becomes tough and woody.
AT Fairbanks such hay now brings $50
and upward ton, while imported alfalfa
sells for SIPS atom | remember that | got
as much as S24O ton for grain hay when
we had an experiment station on the Copper
river near Cordova. and that we often sold
hay there for as high as five cents pound
This was before the people had started
farming. After that they sent in objections
to the agricultural department at Washing
ton, saying that the experiment station
ought not to compete in the markets. The
matter was brought before Secretary Will
son. He replied that $40 ton was too
high for hay, and ordered us to keep on rails
ing it and selling it until the price went
down to SIS "a ton. He said that he thought
SIS ton was enough for hay anywhere.

for several years on that problem, the most

met him in Japan % years ago, when was
making my first newspaper trip around the
would. MIR. Georgeson was then professor
in the Imperial College Of Agriculture at
Toxic and was introducing modern farming
into the land of Japan. Born in Denmark,
he had been trained in farming on some Of
the large estates of that country and had
then gone to the United States, where he
was professor in the Texas State College of
Agriculture. He had also been one of the
editors of the Rural New Yorker After
leaving Japan he was sent by our govern
ment to investigate the dairy industry Of
Denmark, and later-in lSo8-Was ordered
TO go to Sitka and establish experiment sta
tons in various parts of Alaska, with view
to the development Of the territory
For the l8 years since then Professor
Georgeson has been in charge OF Uncle
Sans farming interests in Alaska. He has
travelled all over the territory studying its
SOIL climate, plant life and farming POSSIBLE
tiles. He has been the chief manager OF
hall dozen different experiment stations and
has raked the world for grasses and plants
suited to this part of the United States
We were looking at some alfalfa grown
from seed imported last year from Siberia.
when | asked Professor Georgeson to give
ME his idea OF the future of Alaskan farming.
He replied:
There is no doubt but that Alaska will
some day support large farming popula-
ton. | see no reason why the territory
should not eventually have stable .popula-
ton OF three millions or more. We are dis
covering new plants and grains everyseason
This alfalfa will grow all along the Yukon,
and we have made successful experiments
with it north Of that river estimate that
Alaska has about 100000 square miles that
can be used for agricultural purposes That
means that it has %, 900 900 acres, or an area
two and half times that of Ohio or Vir-
ginia, that. can be turned into farms and
ranches.
"Of this territory about 100000 acres
lie in the interior beyond the coast range OF
mountains. The other six or seven million
acres arc in the coast region and on the isl
ands nearby. Each section will have its own
crop based on its soil and climate Some Of
the islands will be devoted to grazing and
dairying, while southeastern Alaska, where
we are now, will have gardens from where
vegetables will be shipped to Seattle, COM
manding higher price than the Puget
sound products on account Of their superior
quality. Indeed, such shipments are even
now being made.
DO you think that Alaska will ever raise
dairy products for the United States mar
ket"
There is no reason why It should not.
The climate OF the Aleutian islands is mild,
and hardy CATTLE and sheep can in many
seasons run out all winter or be kept over

are now wntering our cattle on the Island
