IN PASSING BY
By M. D. Snodgrass
Agriculture is a basic industry
upon which our future existence
must depend. We should look
well to its possibilities. Conser
vation of the soil, and its build
ing up as we till the soil, is the
farmer’s job. The sooner we es
tablish a farm population, the bet
ter for Alaska’s full development
of its vast resources of fisheries,
timber, coal and mining products
power, transportation by roads,
highways, rail, air and water; all
these developments require peo
ple, capital, and markets.
The people required to conquer
this vast domain must be given
an opportunity to acquire farms
and grazing land at low cost, and
financial aid over 20 to 30 years
and a property tax exmption
until his farm is on a paying
basis. Recent high costs for clear
ing land, costs of farm building
and machinery has greatly re
tarded progress in farm develop
ment.
Defense wages are too stiff for
the new settler—on a homestead
—under present homestead laws.
The Agriculture Experiment
Stations have demonstrated what
crops can be grown successfully,
and the 54 Grade A dairies of the
Matanuska Valley have shown
dairy possibilities.
The Tanana Valley has demon
strated possibilities in grain grow
ing and dairying. Kodiak Island
and the Aleutian Chain has prov
en that beef, mutton and wool
production are of economic im
portance.
Liberal changes in land laws
are promised by Secretary McKay
of the Department of Interior.
It’s policy is to get Alaska public
domain into production through
private ownership. This will be
possible by changes in homestead
laws. The Congress must act on
this—
First by direct sale of home
steads of 160 acres with safe
guards to assure loan funds are
expended for the purpose of the
loan, with first mortgage security
Second—land clearing by ap
proved methods to save the soils
Third — substantial building
though modest but habitable. All
building materials utilized from
clearing the land. At this phase
homesteads must be supported by
the Territory and Federal gov
ernment jointly. Money spent for
land clearing is better security
against loss than any other fea
ture covered in Alaska farm loans
Fourth—livestock chattle loans
are safe so long as tillable acreage
is sufficient to maintain sizeable
herds of beef or dairy cows, poul
try, and hogs. Additional land is
needed for support of beef cattle
sheep and goats, while the new
settler is bringing his farm intc
production. A farm garden is oi
prime importance which ofter
spells success or failure of home
steading.
Farm experience is essentia'
and hard work a necessity.
The long hours of sunshine
through spring and summei
works for you—your livestock
j grows while you sleep at night.
A 160-acre farm in the Matan
uska Valley is the best insurance
any farm loan agency could as!
for. The same is true of much o
the Tanana Valley where grair
growing has proven profitable
The Kenai and Homer areas of
fer considerable acreage for gen
eral farming. The lower Susitnj
Valley, and the upper Yukor
Valley will be developed in tim<
and supply grain, concentrate
wheat, oats, barley, rye and peas
At Rampart Station F. W. Rad
er and George W. Gasser demon
strated beyond doubt that the fai
north will support a large farm
ing population.
To meet our increasing popu
lation’s food requirements Alaskj
needs several hundred farmer;
now to insure a more rapid de
velopment.
I recommend that the Alaskj
Farm Loan Act be ammended t<
include: 1) Aid to the new home
steaders in the sum of $300,00(
and to increase the general func
by $500,000 available to the es
tablised farmers now eligible fo:
loans. (2) That our Delegate in
troduce a Bill in Congress pro
viding for $4,000,000 as a match
ing fund of 80 to 20 percent fo:
a 20 year agricultural revolvin*
fund to develop farming in A1
ask a.
The millions of dollars spen
in defense projects may be mad<
doubly secure when Alaska car
feed her own people.
We owe this to the people oj
