VIRGINIA ADVISED
TOSTUDY ALASKA
Can Learn Much From Far
North Conservation,
Says Dr.. Wilson.
BY the Associated Press.

Dy the ASsVClAtcO HIesS,
BLACKSBURG, Va, Sept. 24.-Vir-
ginia would be "overrun with tourists"
DR.. I. d. Wilson of Virginia Tech de-
clared today, II the State would adopt
the conservation policies of Alaska.
DR.. Wilson. professor Of animal
pathology, recently returned here from
three month visit to Alaska as 4
member Of three-man commission
sent there by Federal authorities to
study reindeer.
The Virginia Tech faculty member
and his colleague few 5000 miles over
Alaska.
If 4 territory such as Alaska existed
in Europe, thew. P. I. man said, it
would support 10000, 900 people. Like
WISE, he said, II the japanese possessed
the country they would quickly
populate 1t.
Only $4,000 Whites in Area.
The territory, now inhabited by 30
600 white people and 10000 Esximos
and Indians. offers a greater diversity
Of climatic and geographic conditions,
DR.. Wilson said, than do Oregon and
Florida or Maine and California.
Asked what he learned in Alaska
that he considered applicable to Vir-
ginia, the ruddy-faced, silver-haired
professor replied:
Il wish every Virginian could see
Alaska's crystal-clear streams, its
abundance Of fish and game-see ma
ture before it has been ravished by
man.
What would be the value OF such
conservation program to Virginia,
how many tourists would come here,
If we cleared up our polluted streams
and restored at least part of the State
to prlmeval conditions?
The State would be overrun with
tourists, and We would find that the
best dollars-and-cents return on any
investment would be to check erosion,
eliminate pollution, plant trees, and
restock our streams and forests with
wild life"
Long Urged Conservation.
DR.. Wilson manifested his interest
in conservation long before he toured
Alaska. He is secretary of the Virginia
Wildlife Federation and teaches v. P.
!. students conservation and forestry.
He was accompanied on the survey
by c. E. Rachford. assistant United

ton, directed much OF the commits
