DID YOU GET A YEARBOOK?
On page 143 of the 1910 Yearbook
of the Department of Agriculture is
the sub-heading "The Department's
lusular Agricultural Experiment Sta
tions," and no where else in the to
tal of TOO pagse, can be found an}
account of Alaska's agricultural re
sources of what good kind Uncle Sam
uel has been doing with some large
amounts of hard cash, which has been
expended in experimenting in the
"lusular" Possession "of the U. S.
"Cereal breeding, testing of varieties
of grain, methods of culture and the
introduction of new varieties of grains
and forage plants are made the im
portant. investigatinos at the Rampart
and Fairbanks stations, and it is grat
ifying to note the success attainde at
Kampart station In thtj introduction
of hardy, early maturing varieties of
barley, oats, winter wheat and winter
rye. In addition, by cross-fertiliza
tion a number of new varieties of ba><
ley and oats have been developed,
some of which are grown this year
for the first time."
Now they know in Washington what
is doing in the "Island of Alaska . .
(This book is published by the Gov
ernment Printing Office at Washing
tun. D. C., U. S. A.)
Alaska is mentioned first under
this caption of the -Department's
INSULAR, etc. stations," but as Ha
waii is next and is followed by Porto
Kieo and then Guam, we presume the
"ISLANDS" were enumerated alpha
betically, ? and we can attach no cre
dit for the amount of our agricultur
al resources to this prominence.
This is the kind of advertising we
are getting. Think of it, e^en in
Washington, U. S. A., we are consid
ered as an Island.
Then again we note on pp. 136, th:dl
55 stations received 13,000,000 last
yter, and if they were fair in their
apportionmnet this gave Alaska $56,
363.63 to gain all this information,
not to mention the valuable advertis
ing that will redound to Alaska's
benefit in the knowledge being given
to the world that she is one of Uncle
Sam's "Insular possessions."
Well, maybe next year, they will put
a bridge over to us, and then we will
be only a peninsula, wich is not quite
so bad as being an "'Insula" and if
they do, we'll invite them over to
try some of the vegetables raised
from the seeds wnich Our James sent
to us, and some of the wild berries,
which some of the hardy pioneer farol
ers of Alaska have experimented with
also the potatoes, and many other
products which the Experimental
stations have failed to report in their
Yearbook.
Now that it is quite the style for
Senators of the various states to in
troduce bills regulating the various
industries in Alaska and making laws
governing our fish, our game, our
coal, our timber, our mines and our
trees, it might be well for Delegate
Wk-kt-rsham to get busy and intro
duce a bill regulating the open sea
son for bird men In the United
A Bird's Barbed Wire Fence*.
Ttiere may be seen along the road
?idea in Central America a brown wren
?bout the size of a canary which builds
a nest out of all proportion to its ap
parent needs. It selects a small tree
with horizontal branches growing close
together. Across two of the branches
it lays sticks fastened together with
tough fiber until a platform about six
feet long by two feet wide has been
constructed. On the end of this plat
form nearest the tree trunk it then
builds a huge dome shaped nest a
foot or so high with thick sides of in
terwoven thorns. A covered passage
way is then made from the nest to the
acd of the platform in as crooked a
manner as possible. Across the outer
and as well as at short Intervals along
the inside of this tunnel are placed
canning little fences of thorns with
Just space enough for the owners to
pass through. On going out this open
ing is closed by the owner by placing
thorns across the gateway, and thus
the safety of the eggs or young is as
?urad.
