By JACK BELL
Associated Press Stad Writer

President Eisenhower left by
plane at 1920 am. today for
Rutland. VT, first stop in a series
lof informal speeches in three
New England States.
The President left in the old
Columbine. the first plane he
used after he enterede the White
House and on his earlier trip TO
Korea. officials said this was
18 feet shorter than his Colum-
bine III and was better for the
shorter runways in New England.
G. o. P. leaders hope Mr.. Eli
senhower's six-day trip will heal
some Republican differences in
New England. He will speak at
the National Dairy Festival in
Rutland first.
He will spend the night at a
mountain resort at Chittenden,
Iconfering there with Vermont
Republican leaders at breakfast
tomorrow morning. Later he
goes on to New Hampshire and
then to Maine for two days of
| fishing at Kennebago.
Senator Flanders, Republican,
of Vermont said in an interview
that if anything could heal a
Republican split in the State it
would be Mr.. Eisenhower's can
didacy for. a second term next
year. He said the Presidents
decision to visit New England
bolstered his own belief the
President will run.
"I am satisfied he will run be-
cause he has to .run," Senator
Flanders said. THE reason he
has to run is because he cannot
drop the responsibility for lead
ership either in the Nation or
the world"
Senator Bridges, Republican,
of New Hampshire, said every
element of the G. o. p. will be
represented when Mr.. Eisenhower
makes three stops for speeches

"The President seemed quite
pleased that the young people
of the Republican Party recog-
nized the soundness of his for

no comment other than that"
Asked if they received any in

Mr.. McWhorter replied:

Mr.. Nixon, who accompanied

"The President is my choice

Population of 81 Million
Predicted Here by 1860

Population Of the Washington
Metropolitan Area will expanc
to between 2 million and 81 mil
lion persons by 1860, a Washing
ton Board of Trade researcher
predicted yesterday.
The figures indicate Washing
ton can expect a slower rate OF
population growth in the next
six years than it has had in the
past four years. The total area
population at the end Of 1854 was
put at 1,808,o00 persons, as COM
pared with the 1850 population
figure of 1,482. 900. The major
portion of growth in that four
year period was attributed to
migration into the area.

EXPERIMENT WORK
 IN ALASKA DATES BACK 57 YEARS

Frosn the office of Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station
 It was the native grasses of Al aska's southern coast and the is- lands out to The Westward that first caught the attention of agri- cultural scientists. Here, they speculated, might be future livestock industry. It has been one of the mos tenacious ideas ever to plague the minds of Al askans. The job of developing it, say today's agronomists, has only begun. And forage crops are still a very important part in Alas ka's broadening farm picture.
 The early Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station men - Geo. rgeson, Gasser, Snodgrass, Irwin were agronomists, forage spec. ialists. Tn the fifty-seven years since the first experiment sta- ton was opened at Sitka here have been many major accom- plishmens in the introduction and development of grains and. grass es for Alaska's livestock indus try. Alaskland red clover, Edda barley, Golden Rain oats, Siber- ian alfalfa, Gasser wheat have come from their long efforts.
 The beginnings of agricultural research were humble"there were few scientists and fewer ap- propriationS. The stations at Sit ka, Kodiak, Copper Center, Fair banks and Rampant on the Yu- kon distributed seed to sour doughs and town dwellers, asked them to report back on the wide open question of What will grow in Alaskan" The report trickled back to the stations, swelling the list.
 The scientists got about the Territory to see for themselves, travelled by dog sled, river boat, and on foot along wilderness trails. They hunted out vege- table gardens growing from the sod roofs of isolated cabins, hay fields in the tiny clearings where farmers had pushed back the will derness to open a new agricultur- al frontier for the U. $.
 It was not until 1947 that lar ger appropriations made possible more rapid study of Alaska's agricultural potentialities, but

 First Fair in 1897
 The first agricultural Fair in Alaska was held at Fairbanks around 1915 at the old skating rink. IL was a great success and decorations on the walls were still hanging there when I ar rived August IT, 1917.
 Mrs. Margaret Harris, then superintendent of schools, or ganized the war time victory gar den project for school children and requested my aid in the work. suggested the Hen and Brood for to 12 year olds- pens of laying hens for 12 to IT year olds, and pig clubs for all ages. The Farmers Associat- tiOn and the merchants contri- buted funds; $500 and some pigs 4oY prizes also setting hens.
 Results were surprisingly suc- cessful. All Fairbanks young SteYs, mammas and dads gave a hand and the All Club move 'nent was launched in Alaska. The greatest surprise of all was the interest shown in the Hen and Chicken class. The fine e suits of the victory garden, pigs and Chicken class. The fine re- show paved the way for Agricul- tural Fairs in Alaska
 Organizes Fair Assn.
 Il was my great pleasure to in tr0duce Bill in the 1923 Ses- sion providing for Agricultural and Industrial Fairs in Alaska ard securing Territorial aid for same. Two years later I helped organize the Western Alaska Fair Association at Anchorage and served on the finance com nnttee with the Hon. z. J. Lou sGac, Thomas Price, Mrs. Monch- man, and others, to raise funds to purchase the Alaska Moving Picture Corporation building fresn the Captain Latrop inter es1s. This provided exhibition space for the fair, auditorium and provided fur animal exhibit un- dancing. The vacant lot east side der open shed, and Federal block, then vacant, was convert ed to livestock sheds and pens. Several successful fairs were held there.
 The great depression was fatal to the project.
 The Community Center activ- itieS by agreement with Western Fair Association were custodian of the building 51 weeks, except during Fair Week, each year. During the WPA period the own ership somehow slipped over to the City of Anchorage and was gone with the wind.
 With the coming of the great recovery period the Federal building replaced livestock ex- hibit grounds; the high school auditorium nosed out the Com nnunity Center, and it was gone. Twice the Western Fair Associa- ton made efforts to return but failed to find a location.
 Valley Fair Organized
 With the coming of the Col ony in 1885, provisions were made for Fair grounds. The idea grew. The Northland Pioneer Grange No. 1 did something about it and here we have the Matanuska Valley Fair to offer you today.
