a $700 automobile for $400 to get
enough money to take them to San
Diego to enter the aviation corps.
The two boys were raised in Alaska

walk to the coast to have money
cough to get outside to enlist.
(By Associated Press)
SEATTLE, Jan. 4.—Any grain in
the United States can be raised in
Alaska, asserted Professor C. C. Geor
geson. agronomist of the United States
department of Alaska, while here re
cently. Professor Georgeson has
charge of the federal agricultural ex
periment stations at Fairbanks, Sitka,
Rampart. Kodiak and Matanuska.
Most of the grain experimental work
_ i
is done at the Fairbanks and Ram
part stations in the interior.
Hybrid wheat has been developed
he said, which will mature, produce a
large yield and be suitable for Alas
I
ka. Spring Siberian wheat has been
grown and has produced over forty
bushels to the acre. Hybrid oats, al
falfa, rye and beardless barley have'
also been produced. The stations
have also produced a hybrid straw
berry which is sweet and large and
grows profusely. Professor Georgeson
brought 125 samples of grain to Se
attle.
