Rrmarkcble Possibilities cf the Far Northwest Possession. The area of Alaska is so great that the United states government main tain* live agricultural experiment sta tions in the territory, so situated. th-.\[ crops may tie tested under till the ell* IQgtiC <;onUitinns. Sltkn. o>; the strip of const projecting southeast, has a fairly mild climate, while the station at Rampart is close to the arctic cir cle. C. C. Georgcsou, special agent in charge of all tliv stations, in his an nual report for 1908, recently issued bj the United States department of agri culture, declares unqualifiedly that "Alnska is an agricultural country,'' that good bay can he produced "In any quantity" for winter feeding, while the native grasses ?'can maintain livestock in excellent condition In summer.'' He says also that "potatoes, cabbage, caul iflower, rhubarb, turnips, lettuce and. In short, al! the hardy vegetables cau be grown to perfection tip to and even within (be arctic circle, as has been proved by thousands of settlers." P.ut before Alaska can be largely settled railroads and wagon roads must be built. Under present conditions, he Bays, "few farmers can afford to go to Alaska with their families, live stock nnd equipment," The expense of trans portation "would equal the cost of a farm in the states." Abundant sunshine is essential for good crops in Alaska. In 1008 the rain fall during the growing season at Sitka was 10.22 Inches against 24.7< inches the y< a; before and 18.01 inches in 1006. The smaller rainfall meant more sunshine, and the result in 1008 was large crops of potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower and various root crops. The quality also was better. Mr. Georgeson believes that Alaska has undeveloped resources sufficient for the support of a large population. Put there, as he says, '?Nature is stern and uncompromising, and wo must sub mit to the conditions she imposes." Among many Interesting facts given in the report Is this: Watermelons were brought to maturity out of doors on the Hot Springs farm, which Is in the Tanana valley, in latitude (14 de grees north. It seems that on part of this farm the soil is warmed from the same source, whatever it is, that boats the water of the springs. This farm has now ll>0 acres regularly under crop, (he greater portion devoted to po tatoes. Mis. Y. <\ Ifellams Is visiting her sister in Charlotte.
