The Alaska procloud s given to the
Seattle Chamb er of Commerce for the
banquet of January 20th, in tk*
way of being a powerful factor in Al
aska’s propoganda schedule
The majority of the invited guests are
newspaper men and we will vouch for
a good meal enlisting their loyal sup
port to Alaska’s cause.
Every part of the Territory will have
representative foodstuffs upon the festal
board.
Nome, has donated reindeer meat,
the potatoes come from the Matanuska
valley. Clam nectar from Cordova, shel
led shrimp from Petersburg, fresh
strawberries from Haines, fresh carrots
from Valdez, fresh shelled peas from
Seward, cabbage from Anchorage and
Alaska ’’milled flour, ” from Fairbanks
and so on ad infinitum
With such an array of facts as to
the Territory’s productiveness before
them, the guests cannot fail to be im
pressed with fact that this country
posesses an enormous potential value
as a food producer.
Everyone realizes that raw land is
becoming more scarce and that the
world is hardly producing enough food
for its present population; so it is a
matter of time, only, before Alaska
is as extensively and intensively culti
vated as Sweben or Norway are today.
With more farm prducts being grown
every "year canneries and other preserv
plants will come into existence, thus giv
ing the farmer a chance to compete
with the rural districs of the states and
at the same time give Alaska a chance
tp become as self supporting as most
of the states. Page 4
