agriculture was not considered .an essen
tial Industry In Alaska, and even now was
□ore Important only In the Third and
Fourth Divisions* However, the Territor
ial Government as well as the National
Government are taking a much more decided
Interest In the development of agricul
ture In the Territory, he said. He poin
ted to the establishment of the Agricul
ture Research work now being done in the
•Territory under the direction of Don
Irwin, to the formation of an ^agriculture
Department In-the Territory of which
Clyde G. Sherman- is now the Commissioner,
and to the work of I.M.C. Anderson of
the P.H.A. However, the Territory does
need legislation to provide for factors
which are a little different from those
found In the States--legl'slatlon that
would at least help eliminate %an-marie"
obstacles. He did not state what these
factors or obstacles were.
Governor Gruenlng digressed a little to
the subject of Statehood since he feels
that much more could be accomplished were
Alaska made a State. The Governor belie
ves that should there be a vote taken now
,.to determine the attitude of Alaskans to
ward statehood that the vote would be
more like 8 or 9 to 1, rather than 3 to
2 as it -was two years ago. He also stat
ed that more and more agencies and lead
ers in the States were favorable toward
Statehood for Alaska. He said that the
Governors of the States were all favor
able toward. Alaskan Statehood.
The other question of importance had ‘to
do with the 'smear' campaign against the
Palmer Airport. The Governor explained
the evaluation of the Palmer Airport land
in' this way: due to the fact that a
great deal of money, tine and labor had
been expended on the Palmer Airport,, the
actual value of the property had been
enhanced--or we might say that it had
appreciated in value. This ihcreased val
uation of the airport property enabled ,
the Palmer Airport to receive a larger
sun for the completion of the Airport
which larger sun was necessary In order
to construct the type of Airport needed
in the Valley. Money for this purpose
was matched 3 to 1. The whole plan was ■■
approved by Attorneys, he said. Gover
nor Gruening said that he considered it
an Intelligent and highly constructive
piece of work.
