KENAI DISTRICT
IDEAL COUNTRY

SPRECKLES COMPANY OF CALIF.
INTERESTED IN ALASKA
SUGAR BEETS
The Kenai peninsula district is des
tined, some day, to become the sugar
beet producing district of the Terri
tory for the adaptability of the Ho
mer region for this industry, together
with its accessibleness, exceeds in
economic operation, the sugar beet
lands of California. Robert Jay, Ter
ritorial veterinarian, is authority for
the latter statement in a letter re
ceived by thelocal Chamber of Com
merce.
The Homer district has the soil,
climate, coal, water and the Kme
stone, Mr. Jay, who was a frequent vis
itor in Seward last summer, states.
He goes on to say that the large
Spreckles Company plant at Spreekles,
California, is now idle owing to a dis
ease that has infected the beets and
they no longer can be raised in that
vicinity, in quantities.
The country around the Kenai pen
insula will grow beets more produc
tively than the high priced land in
California, Mr. Jay says, and recent
ly he talked the proposition over with
a representative at Spreckles. The
company man appeared to be favor
ably impressed with the Alaska pos
sibilities and promised Mr. Jay he
would take the matter under advise
ment. The representative question
ed the sugar content of beets grown
in the Kenai country but that informa

tion Mr. Jay was unable to place be
fore him. It was for the purpose of
securing additional information that
Mr. Jay wrote the local chamber in
the hope they could supply him im
mediately with further data. This is
being done.
Mr. Jay firmly believes there is an
opportunity to bring an industry to
Alaska that will mean hundreds of
thousands of dollars to this district,
and in addition, new capital and em
ployment, the beet pulp would be a
stronger incentive for the raising of
cattle for the beet pulp means cheap
er cattle feed.
Two years ago the Alaska Railroad
detailed a special investigator to the
work of making a survey of the rail
road belt, from Seward to Fairbanks,
with the view of ascertaining the ag
ricultural and mining resources. In
this work the railroad was assisted
by the two superintendents of the
Fairbanks and Matanuskat government
experimental farms, as well as by two
newspaper men of Anchorage. In
the final report, which is in the files
at railroad headquarters, considerable
data on the growing of sugar beets
in the Kenai peninsula country and in
the Fairbanks districts, will be found.
The report was very satisfactory in
this respect but the proposed coloni
zation scheme of the railroad, has
since laid on the shelf.
