Deeper Inquiries Into the possibili
ties of raising tobacco In Alaska
brings more evidence substantiating
its success. Professor George
son. head of the federal agricultural
experiment stations in Alaska, Is an
thority lor the statement that Alex
aniler Friedalin, on Afognak Island,
far to the westward, has been grow
ing tobacco for years.
In regard to the raising of sugar
beets for commercial purposes, Prof
Georgeson has sent seed to certain
! Malanuska farmers and expects to he
able to report more definitely after his
return.
"I would also like lo have sugar
beets tried at Haines and at Fairbanks
| and other Interior localities,” he said.
Hut as to making sugar from the sap
of birch trees the professor was a wee
! hi! skeptical. However, if he is con
. servalivc along all lines, he is always
a booster for Alaska.
The success of his work during the
last twenty years as head of the
Alaska experiment stations has con
vinccd him that there are millions of
acres in the Interior valleys which will
in time produce nearly anything neces
sary to feed the population engaged in
mining, fishing and other Industries
In Alaska
The raising of seeds, he considers,
will he one of the most lucrative agri
cultural pursuits. /The seeds from
vegetables grown in Alaska for a few
years seem to possess more xigor,
and arc inclined to bear earlier when
| taken to latitudes further south than
j seeds of the same variolic- grown
there.
