SUGAR BEETS
A RESOURCE
OF ALASKA
Sugar beets grown at the Mata
nuska experiment station under the
direction of C. C. Georgeaon, agrono
mist in charge of the Alaska agricul
tural experiment stations, and sent by
him to Washington for analysis, were
found to contain from 14.6 to 16.S
per cent sugar. “This is abundantly
rich enough,” says Dr. Georgeson, “tc
justify the growing of beets for the
manufacture of sugar.”
But while he is sanguine about the
quality of beets, he states that it wili
take from one to five thousand acres
of such beets to keep a factory go
ir.g, and that this amount of land is
not available at the present time in
the Matanuska valley, where most ol
the land is timbered and the farmers
largely without capital. The increase
in tillable acreage is largely confined
to their individual efforts.
E. A. Adams of Haines raised about
a ton of sugar beets two years ago
which he boiled down into a fins
grade of syrup. He reports recover
ir.g about a gallon of excellent syruf
to the bushel of beets.
Beets with which to make his owr
syrup is not the only thing this en
terprising Haines farmer raised. “I
have been growing my own tobaccc
from home-grown seed for years,” h(
says. “I have measured some of the
leaves that were sixteen inches wide
and two feet long, and well matured.’
He has apples and cherries and manj
varieties of berries, and what is more
he has a herd of twenty-two regis
tered milch goats which furnish hin
with about one gallon of milk eacl
for about eight months out of the
year.
Ur. Georgeson reports wheat, bar
ley, oats and flax being grown at Ram
part station, on the Yukon, and ai
Fairbanks, on the Tanana river, wit!
the “usual universal success,” The
agricultural possibilities of the in
terior of Alaska have been provet
beyond the peradventure of a doubt
Our most important work now is t:
create new and early-maturing vari
e.Scs of grain of all sorts that sha!'
be better adapted to the climate than
varieties obtained from Outside; and
in this work we are making gratify
ing progress,” he says. At the same
time he reports not having had ae
desirable a season in the Interior as
usual, owing to a late spring.

APPROPRIATION MADE
FOR HERRING INDUSTRY
Providing for a thorough system ol
inspection and supervision of the new
herring-packing industry of Alaska
congress has included $25,000 in th«
sundry civil bill for this work, ac
cording to a wire from Washingtor
received by Henry O’Malley, field rep
resentative of the United States bu
reau of fisheries, with headquarters ii
Seattle.
This sum, says O'Malley, will en
able the bureau to continue its work
in the North on a larger scale. Dur
ing the past year Mr. O’Malley had
three experts in the North demon
strating to herring packers the proper
methods of curing the fish in order
that the product may compete in for
eign markets with the herring packed
in Scotland and the Shetland islands
Another man was employed in Seat
tie, assisting in the inspection of all
packs arriving from the North.
The appropriation, says Mr. O’Mai
ley, will make it possible to put the
herring industry of the North on a
peace basis and retain its hold upon
the markets. The packing of herring
in the North started during the war,
and because of the fact that Scotch
and Scandinavian packers were cut
off from their markets, the Alaska
herring packers had clear sailing. But
little or no attention whs paid to
standards and uniformity because
buyers were eager to take all of the
product they could get.
With the close of hostilities the sit
uation will be different, says Mr.
O’Malley, and if the new industry is
to survive, the product must be on a
par with the output of Scotland and
the Shetland islands in standards and
excellence.
The appropriation will be used by
the bureau of fisheries in demonstrat
ing the Scotch methods of curing to
the Alaska herring packers. The
packers are to be induced to put the
fish up to comply with uniform com
mercial standards and a thorough gov
ernment inspection is to be main
tained, the latter being insisted upon
by the buyers. Inspection will take
.place at the plant and on the arrival
at the jtrodhct at Seattle.
