with the farmers. In the fifteen years
or more that grain has been grown
in the vicinity of Fairbanks, a COM
plete crop failure has never been re-
corded. Better vegetables and berries
can be raised in Alaska than any
where else on the North American
continent. If there are still skeptics
who doubt the agricultural capabili-
ties of Alaska, let them journey to
Anchorage and buy homegrown pota-
toes, vegetables and berries. Let
them stop at Curry and see the cream
cry manufacture butter made from
cream shipped by Matanuska dairy
men. Let them observe at Fairbanks
a comparatively operated flour mill
grind wheat grown in the Tanana val
ley into flour. Let them drive through
the country at Matanuska and see
grain fields, hogs, sheep, cattle, poul-
try, flowers, gardens, homes, and meet
the successful farmers who live by
tilfing the soil. That Alaska has vast
agricultural possibilities is proven
fact. The problem now to be solved
is the intelligent development of these
resources.
The progress of agriculture in
Alaska depends chiefly on transport
alton and the facilities for marketing
the farmers produce. Alaska imports
annually about $5,000.O00 worth of
food-stuffs that can be raised locally.
but as yet the farmers are too few
to organize and take any material adj
vantage of this home market. When
enough produce is raised to supply
the local needs, an export market can
be developed for dairy products, meat.
canned vegetables and berries. An ex-
pertinent is now under way to grow
potatoes, clover, and other crops for
seed, as it is believed that Alaska
grown seed will prove harder and
earlier maturing than productions of
more southern latitudes. If seed
raised in Alaska proves superior, it
will open up extensive markets in the
States for this product. AS produc-
tion increases, it will also in time no
doubt be possible to secure so favor
able freight rates that grain, potatoes
and other natural products can be ex-
ported with profit.
In anticipating the future develop
ment of Alaska, agriculture should be
considered as one of the dominant fac

There was a snow storm here Sum

The members of the egg association
gathered at Hinckley Saturday, for

settled without any trouble.

tors. When mining ground has been
worked out, it leaves in its wake a
boulder-strewn stream bed or an emp
ty shaft in devastated hillside, its
value gone forever. When a stand of
timber is cut down, it takes genera
lions for it to grow up again. Once
the harvest of minerals or timber has
been taken, only barren waste re-
mains as the desolate ghost of former
habitation. Intelligent agriculture in
creases the value of the soil year by
year. 1t builds homes, communities,
and cities. When the day comes that
Alaska is fully settled, it is safe to
predict that the backbone of its ex-
istence will be agriculture.
The development of Alaska must be
slow. 1t is a serious matter to make
mistakes in a pioneer country, and to
try to force settlement too rapidly
would be grave error. The settler
that is to make success in Alaska
must have the same pioneer spirit as
the men who settled the Mississippi
valley. They must be imbued with
the idea of making homes and not
with the belief that they can grow
rich in few years and retire to the
States to spend the rest of their lives
in comfort. But to those who come,
inspired by the indomitable will to
conquer the soil, Alaska has a price
less inheritance to give-that Of a
permanent home.

The time has come for the gradual
development of the agricultural re-
sources of Alaska. 1t is estimated
that Alaska has $4,000 square miles
suitable for general farming and Co.
600 additional square miles adapted
to grazing. The regions offering the
best opportunities for increasing set
Element are the Matanuska and Ia
mana Valleys, both contiguous to the
Alaska Railroad. These valleys have
been agriculturally pioneered and con-
tain a neucleus of successful farmers
around which substantial communities
can readily be built. Alaska needs a
steady influx of hardy, capable, self
reliant farmers and their families to
establish rural centers of industrial
prosperity.
Alphabetically speaking. Alaska is
divided into three sections: Southeast
ern Alaska, comprising the territory
from the southern boundary to Yaku-
tat. This area is suited only to berry
and vegetable growing, since the cool
wet summers prevent grain from
ripening. This section is heavily tim
bered and clearing is extremely diff
cult. Southwestern Alaska, which in
cludes Prince William Sound, the
Kenai and Alaska peninsulas, and the
Aleutian islands. This area is adapt
ed chiefly to grazing. 1t is sparsely
timbered and the luxuriant. growth OF
native grasses, beach rye and sedge
makes excellent pasture for sheep and
cattle. Several concerns have recent
ly stocked some of the Aleutian is
lands with sheep. However, it is the
valleys of interior Alaska that offer
real opportunities to the prospective
homesteader.
The climate of interior Alaska does
not vary greatly from that of the
northern tier of states and southern
Canada The growing season is short
er but the long hours of sunlight are
an adequate compensating factor. 1t
is not unusual for Fairbanks to have
summer days with temperature OF
80 or more above zero. The rainfall
is extremely light, especially in the
Tanana valley, but the perpetual frost
underlying the soil is reservoir
supplying by capillary attraction suf-
ficient moisture to promote excellent
growth. The interior region is tim
bered with stand of spruce and birch
but the trees are not large and clear
ing is comparatively easy. Land can
be homesteaded and Federal surveys
have been made in the accessible re-
gions. In settled regions, such as the
Matanuska and Tanana valleys, it is
also possible to buy homestead relin-
quishments or patented land with
clearing and other improvements.
The Matanuska and Tanana valleys
are particularly adapted to diversified
farming and dairying. Wheat, oats
rye, barley, vetch. root crops, etc. can
be grown with unfailing success. OF
