Governor Ernest Greuning ad'drassed
:a sriir.il audience in the Community
Hell r.t Palmer on Sundry Evening.
Duo to the fr.ct that word v/r.s not
rccoivod hero until late Saturday,
it weo impossible to get v/ord out

had passed awry, but that he had
lived to see it a succcss--and chat
this particular d'y-had been set
aside as VtE Day in the Nation* '

out that after ten years in.the
development of farming on a larger
.scale in Alaska that for the first
time Agriculture had been represent

known as an Agricultural Block.
Although Several important measures
.failed to'pass the oenato, three
important ;Bi.lls favoring Agriculture
were enacted. They wo re
1. A bill creating a Department of
• • i.-gri culture.
2. A bill providing for a second
Veterinarian so that the Latanusica
Valley-will not. have to share its
Veterinarian with the rest of the
Territory.
3. A bill providing for the regis
tration of# ovmarship of all lands
outside of’incorporated, towns.This
•will trice care of patented lands
abandoned by the owners’years ago
-and which arc now idle because tiiCj.
is no way in, which they may be re
claimed by the Territory.

c.n important problem facing th
Territory in regard to the influx
of population after.th6• lar. !Iq
sold that-there must bo. greater'de
velopment of industries within the
the Territory in.order to take ce.re
of any great grov/th in population.
