ALASKAN GARDEN SEEDS
We received this week a package
of turnip seeds from The Alaska
Sure-Mature Seed Co. of Fairbanks,
which we have promised to a friend
who always has a fine garden in
Hyder. The letter accompanying
the package carries the following
announcement:
“Our ranch, Skylanu Acres,' is
the most northern seed farm in the
world.
"Our seeds are remarkable for
their hardiness and early maturing
qualities due to the fact that they
are grown and bred within approx
imately 100 miles of the Arctic
Circle, in the famous Tanana val
ley. The Tanana valley, on ac
count of its fertility and expanse,
is often referred te as the Mississi
pi Valley of the North. This valley,
in the vicinity of Fairbanks is dot
ted with fertile farms, and in the
fifteen years of its cultivation has
never known a crop failure. Fair
banks possesses a flour mill, and
the wheat grown in this vicinity
ranks among the finest in the
world. The root crons are of par
ticular excellence and northern
grown Alaska seed rivals the finest
of the Scandinavian countries. At
Fairbanks is located the Alaska
Agricultural College and School of
Mines, the ‘Farthest North’ insti
tution of higher education in the
world.”
"WITti” on • fROM?”
M. L. Spencer, Director of the
School of Journalism, University
of Washington, writes: “We say
that one person differs ‘with’ an
other when the differing is a matter
of opinion. But we also say that a
person difft rs ‘from’ another when
the difference is in physical ap
pearance ”
We cannot agree with this opin
ion; we must differ from it.
There is promise that with the!
coming of spring the alert and pro-j
gressive mining tov is of Hyder will j
take on an activity that will re-,
mind one of the earlier boom days)
in Alaska. A number of compan-i
ies are now preparing to invade'
Hyder w'ith crews of mining men j
to start preliminary development!
of various valuable claims that]
are later on expected to develop!
into something like the now famous!
Premier mine.—Juneau Capital. ]
A news dispatch says spring j
skirts are to be ankle length. Well,
th 4 men are not going tovworry
about that. They have seen plenty.
The initial number of The Alas*
ka Fisherman, published montjiiy
in Juneau by the Alaska Native
Brotherhood, of yvhich Willjam L.
Paul is secretary, has been receiv
ed. The paper, as its name im
! plies, is devoted to furthering the
fishing industry of Alaska, and
especially to protect the inherent
rights ef the Indians in that indus
try, The new paper announces as
its platform: “Alaska for Alaskans;
Full Territorial Government; One
Nation, One Language, One Flag '
