THE STORY

At Sftka, one summer day, 1 was walking with Dr. c. c. Georgeson, the plant wizard of Alaska. We made our way thru field of ripe strawber- ! ries. Clean, dustless, knee high, the
 green rows sioped fanwise toward distant, glacier hung mountains shim- mering in the sunshine that warmed the fragrance from crimson berries at our feet I plucked one, too large for me to encircle with the forefingar and thumb, and bit into it. Firm, cool delicious, it melted in my mouth.
 We halted beside rows of peas up held by brush. Again I was impress ed by the dustless Alaskan green that knows no insect pest. The luxuriant vines were eight feet tall and heavy with sixinch pods, exactly like the plump ones featured in seed catalogue illustrations. They popped with crisp vigor when 1 broke them open. The peas were sweet and tender, and of that ineffable freshness that marks the flavor of all Alaska grown vegeta- bles.
 Where peas ended, potatoes began. The lusty, verdent lines were starred with flowers in which bumblebees stood on their heads for honey "This variety yields splendid harvests as far north as Coldfoot, 60 miles beyond the Arctic Circle" remarked the doc tor. And it is up there, just where the Yukon sweeps north across the Circle, that we have developed wheat which natures in S2 days from seed"
 l turned from the thriving acres to look at the man who has accom- plishad what everyone once said could not be done. He stood, Viking in aspect, six feet tall, massive should l cred, vigorous, and straight as an
