LIMIT ON AGRICULTURE
“It must be emphasized, how
ever, that although there is much
available agricultural land in Alas
ka, capable of Supporting in time
a large population the opportunity
for rapid expansion is limited at
I the present. It is not advisable for
'people to rush pell mell into the
Territory with the expectation of
I making a success at farming.
“It is not economical to ship
farm products from Alaska to the
states on account of great dis
tances and high shipping costs.
Agriculture in Alaska at present
must be confined to the feeding of
its own population. It is on this
basis only that development can
proceed.
“The man who goes to Alaska to
enter farming as a business and
who is most likely to succeed must
be of pioneer spirit, who has vision
and strength and is not easily dis
j courageri. He must know its cli
mate, its soil, its crops, its econo
mic conditions. Above all the new
settler should have sufficient capi
tal to provide living expenses for a
yea*’ or more if settling on new
land. The minimum recommended
is $2,5°0 per family.

idly becoming an important indus
