tickets. They will go on sale Mon
day morning, January IL, on basis
of first come, first served, and the
price of the tickets is $3.50, includ-
ing Sales Tax. The committee felt
that since there would only be about
two hundred and fifty tickets avail
able to the public, that IL was best
to put them on a first-come, first
served basis, so that everyone
would have an equal chance Of at
tending the banquet.
Since il is my job to handle the
tickets, would appreciate it very
much if those wishing to have a
table reserved for them will notify
me not later than Tuesday, Febru-
airy 3, so that the caterer will have
ample time to arrange his seating in
the hall

Daily Mail, who is chairman of the
entertainment committee, and his
associates, Glenn Thomas and Jim

worthwhile entertainment. And all
of us, of course, are working under
the able Craftsmanship of Frank

We of the Sportswriters' and

place where the banquet is to be
held, but also for the annual meet
ing of the Board of Directors Of the

held the same day at the Hotel Alex

will be able to put on a banquet

If they had been built, and cost transpor- tation rate given, there is no question but that a flourishing coal business would be estab- lished, at least along the Alas kan coast, stopping the present large importation of the foreign product.

GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTAL
 FARMS

For 20 or 30 years the Govern ment has maintained experiment. al farms in this part of Alaska, with the avowed purpose of dem- onstrating the productivity of A. laska soil and climate. They were originally established as an aid to land settlement Every year bulletins were issued and dis tributed free. A great deal of money has been expended on them, but so FAR AS PRACTI- CAL BENEFIT IS CONCERNED, THERE SEEMS TO BE NONE. WHY? One reason I believe was the diversity of activity. It would have been better to have con- centrated on FEW STAPLE PLANTS, and demonstrated the BUSINESS POSSIBILITIES OF THEM. Both the activities and the financial support of the Gov ernment farms still in operation should be placed wholly under the supervision of the Alaska Agricultural College.
 LAND CLEARING
 The biggest inducement to farm ing next to an assured market, is clearing the land ready for the blow. I suggest that within a certain distance from the rail road or auto road feeders, that the Territory and railroad com bine to clear A, or B. quality tracts of land upon application of anyone who will put crop in. The cost of such clearing to be a lien against the land. but on such easy terms of payment that any farmer would be will ing to assume it. The land clear ing machinery could be assem- bled in the railroad machine shops during winter months.
