BEET INDUSTRY FOB
SUGAR BEET SEED RECEIVED AND
IS BEING DISTRIBUTED FOR
EXPERIMENT PURPOSES
SOIL SUPERIOR TO CALIFORNIA
Kenal Peninsula Country Particularly
Adaptable for this Industry.
The Tuesday meeting of the local
chamber of commerce was extra in
teresting due to the fact the announce
ment was made a large sack of sugar
beet seed had been received from the
Agricultural department. The seed Is
being distributed to those interested
in carrying on an experiment, most of
it, however, will be sent over to the
lower Kenai peninsula district, Seldo
via and other westward points, where
it has been stated the climate and
soil are more adaptable than else
where in the Territory. It was point
ed out at the chamber meeting that
one of the high officials of the agri
cultural department who visited this
district last summer took back to
Washington with him several samples
of soil and in the analysis it develop
ed the soil from Kenai peninsula
ranked higher than that of California. '
It is all a matter of sunshine in the i
successful growing of sugar beets, j
Provided the coming experiments
prove satisfactory there is excellent
reason to believe it may develop into
a large industry in this particular sec
tion of Alaska.
It should not be difficult for anyone
to visualize what the development of
such an industry would mean. In
i
| many localities Outside, such as are
1 found in Alaska, the beet industry en
■ gages hundreds of people in the fields
and, later, when the crop is harvest
ed, in the mill. The growing of sugar
beets requires extensive seasonal la
bor and special attention given to the
growing crop. The seed should be
planted, for experimental purposes, in
rows of not less than three feet apart
and the plants about eight inches
apart in rows. In general practice the
seed is sowed rather thick then thin
ned down leaving the best plants.
There is a general widespread of
*
interest along the entire railroad belt
for from the headquarters of the Al
aska Railroad comes the report the
officials are planning, providing en
ough tonnage can be obtained to ship
a large quantity of the roots to the
States for a test mill ru.
Mr. and Mrs. John Hirshey, who left
for Hope a few days ago, were given
some seed which they will distribute
among the farmers in that region. The
Hope district is one that should be
further investigated as to the area
suitable for farming. Creditable show
ing was made by the vegetables, ber
ries and apples grown there the past
season, as well as the forage crops
and potatoes. The completion of the
roads will connect the Kenai region
up with the railroad, and open a large
area of farming land known to be along
the Kenai river and on the west slope
of the Kenai mountain range.
1 The outcome of the coming summer’s
, experiments will be watched closely,
reports compiled and sent to heads of
the industry in various sections in the
States.
The Alaska Steamship Company
freighter Latouche is scheduled to
