acid soils have upon the growth and development of garden crops.
 Throughout the season all of the experiments were carefully watched and records were aver aged as to growth, development, and yield of the crops concerned.
 It has long been known that there are certain elements which are of vital importance to plaut growth. Of these elements those which are used in great est quantities and found to be most commonly lacking in the soil are: nitrates, phosphates, potash and calcium With these facts in mind. the fertilizer ex- pertinent was set up as follows:
 The 10-acre garden plot was

Acre No. 1O-Oats.
 The vegetables were not all planted at the same time but were rotated throughout the sea son so as to provide a supply of the early maturing vegetables during the entire summer.
 The fist vegetables were taken from the garden on July 10, and consisted only of radishes and green onions. From this date on the garden produced 8 consistent supply of radishes, lettuce, and green onions. Later in the season some turnips, spin ach, swiss chard, and carrots were furnished by the garden in small quantities. At the end of the season potatoes, carrots. turnips, cabbage, onions, pars- nips, parsley, beets, lettuce, and green peas were taken from the garden. The potatoes grown ln our soil are very small, but num- erous and of good quality.
 Tha Fort Greedy hospital got first priority on the vegetables produced by the experimental garden. After the hospital mess was taken care of, the vegetables then went to the officers and en- listed mems messes on the post, and nearly everybody got at least a taste of homegrown greenstuff.
 This same policy was contin- ued under Colonel Edward l.. MacauIay when he assumed com mand of the Fort.
 The experiments were plan- ned and set up in such a way as to determine the fertilizer re- ouirements of the soil, the reIa- tion between deep and shallow blowing, and the effect these

Last year they brought in

 the Matanuska valley, farmers
 are hacking out homesteads at
 Homer on Coal bay and in the
 Interior and along the Inland
 passage there were Victory Gar dens of some sort at all of the more habitable Army and Navy
 bases in the Territory, and l myself spent very enjoyable and instructive summer finding out what would grow on Kodiak islands peculiar volcanic-aSh soil.
 The question of whether or not things will grow in Alaska no longer needs to be argued, The problem now is the practical one of working out the best techniques to match the soil and climate, developing diversifca- tion, and hitching buyer to pro ducer So that Alaska's pioneers can farm at a profit. This last is a problem of transportation, as Delegate Tony DImond never neglects to point out.
 On the Mainland of Alaska, 1 several farming areas have al- l ready been developed to the point where markets are now the main problem. But on Kod- | iak, because of the unusual soil (the island was covered with vol canic ash from 8 inches to 2 feet | thick in the eruption of Mt. Katmai across Shelikoff Strait in | 1912), 1 had the good fortune to get in on the ground floor with the basic plant-growiug ex- pe1iments,
 There have been small gar dens on Kodiak island for many years, and cattle and sheep-ranching is an estab- Iished and expanding indus try. But our Fort Greedy Ex- perimental Farm, a full 1OI acres under intensive cultiva- tion and study, is perhaps the most complete effort along these lines up to now. and cer- tainly the most recent, the last

such project being two govern ment dairy-gardens left to
 shift for themselves 20 years
 ago.
 The Greedy Farm was first | planned in the fall of 194l by
 Major General Charles H. Cor
 lett soon after his arrival here.
 His plans were carried out in the spring of 1922 under the direct supervision of It. Eugene L.. Russell, a graduate of Oregon State. Lieutenant Russel broke ground and supervised all work at the garden that first season, which proved excessively rainy most of the summer, and was not very encouraging from the produce standpoint.
 The project was not aban- doned, however, and in the spring of 1943, Lieutenant Rus sell having gone to another Alaskan post, It. L. O. Hollist was placed in charge and began the work of preparing the seed beds and planting the early crops.
 About this time, General Cor lett left the post, and Colonel Wm D. Frazer assumed com mand. Lieutenant Hollrst was called back to his outfit, but Colonel Frazer strongly desired that the project thus begun be continued, with the following purposes on mind: CD to deter mine the soil characteristics and productivity; @ to discover an economical means of counter acting the volcanic ash deposit on the soil, in order that normal yields might be expected; (3) to provide the men of Fort Greedy with fresh vegetables during the summer months. The Colonel furIh hur hoped that the results of these experiments might be of value to the men who desired to make Kodiak their home after the war, and helpful to the few hundred civilian families al- ready established on the island.

 With the project (which was financed by the post Special Service Office, under Capt. w, c. Talbott (also of Utah) came four of the finest GI farmers in this mans Army: Pvts. Ava Russell of Westfeld, Oklahoma; Leroy Gilbert of HerrelI, Ark ansas; Albert Goode of Hurri- cane, West Virginia; and Orden Greenhouse of Spencer, West Virginia.
