The Alaska Steamship Company has announced that it is now in the process of overhauling2 and modernizing it's entire fleet of pas senger vessels in preparation for the coming season. Work on the ships is being carried on oat the companyls yards in West Seattle, according to T. B. Wilson, vice. president and general manager.

 Among the ships which have al- ready been improved is the we'll known S.. s. Victoria, upon which more than $4o,000 has been ex- pended this winter.

Diversification of occupation, ot appetite. of climate, and of crops is the foundation structure upon which is built busy world. In terms of farming its significance is not lost but rather accentuated because of being narrowed down to the family group.
 Alaska with its widely diversified climate, topography, and soil offers a wide range of choice to those bent on farming. After all, one of the major concerns of the majority of the worlds population is to satisfy the bodily needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. To se- cure these with a modicum of hon est effort is the desire and should be the privilege of each. Actuated by such motives new country has been explored and new homes es- abolished in the wildernesses. No one region in the world and no climate is able to satisfy all people. A Those who have come to Alaska to farm and others who have turn ed to farming from other occupa- tions have been able to satisfy more than the essentials of a bodily existence. They have done and are doing much hard labor Pioneering entails just that But fortunately or circumstantially, with the work and privation comes the satisfac- tion of having tried and accomplish ed that which had not been done before at that place The lure of seeking, whether for gold or for an agricultural spot where golden crops can be grown, is not to be denied the human race.
 Forming Opportunities Increase
 Today, due to the high price paid for gold, the opportunities for profitable farming in Alaska are greatly increased. The Alaskan farmer is concerned, incidentally only, with world markets. His
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-01-28

problem is to produce economically those crops for which there is local
 need, such as forage crops, cereals, vegetables, milk, butter, eggs, poul- try, and small fruits These are being produced now but in volume
 far short of the needs of the population. Since diversification is the theme of this column it is in order to state, or the benefit of those not aware of the extent of Alaska, that crop production is less curtailed by latitude than by topo- graphy. Hence, for example, good gardens are obtained at Wiseman and Shungnak above the Arctic Circle. Throughout the interior the valleys and low hils are potential, cultivated fields and pastures for dairy and beef cattle. The south western portions of this great Territory with it's thousands of square miles of treeless, grass cov- cred land, will, when the need arises, supply large population with beef. And last, but not least, is the long coast line of the South eastern part with it's narrow strip

 Wide Range ot Climate
 Alaska, then, offers the pioneer farmer a wide range of selection as to climate and topography and a diversification in crop production since in most regions variety of crops thrive and animal husbandry may be carried on profitably.
 To aid the pioneer in his choice of farm and crops agricultural ex- pertinent stations have been oper- ated at seven widely separated places, viz, Sitka, Kodiak, Kenai, Copper Center, Rampant. Fairbanks and Matanuska The results ob- tained are recorded in the annual reports covering the years from 1898 to the present. Of these,r the one near Fairbanks, now called College, and the one near Mata- nuska only are being continued.

 Extension work in Agriculture and Home Economics is one of the newer departments of the Col lege. It was organized on July l, 1930. It is supported comparatively by Federal and Territorial funds. The Federal funds are derived from the so-called Smith-Lever funds which go to each State in the United States and to the Territories to which this act has been extend ed by act of Congress. Alaska was the last to receive this extension.

 Andres brother, Becq de Fou- qulres, Is the "chief of the pro. tocol" and regulates the deport. ment of presidents, ambassadors, minister's and even kings on occa- sions bringing them here. Andre sets the style for unofficial folk when it comes to fashion and SO. cial custom.
 "FormaI evening attire" con. tinucs the perfect bachelor, lis the sole attire which is correct for a big dinner, asoiree, or a gala ball, and it steadily Is re- suming it's vogue here. To be weii-dressed is an expression of optimism, and also courageous manner of combating the crisis. To be well-dressed gives confidence to oneself and to others; 1t cheers and beautifies the atmosphere and clarifies the sky.
