GROWING OF CEREAL
URGE PART ALASKA
IS FOONO POSSIBLE
RECENT BULLETIN BY STAFF OF
FICIALS EXPERIMENT STA
TIONS PUBLISHED
The popular conception of Alaska
as a frozen, inhospitable wilderness,
worthless far agricultural purposes is
giving way to a more .favorable view
as the result of experiments carried
on by the agricultural experiment sta
tions of the Territory, save the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which has supervision of the stations.
Even as late as 1899 it was consid
ered an impossibility for cereals to
grow so far north, according to Bul
! letin o. 6, “Cereal Growing in Al
I aska,” by C. C. Georgeson and G. W.
Gasser, staff officials of the Alaska
experiment stations.
The Yukon, Tanana, and Matan
uska Valleys have fully demonstrated
their adaptability to grain growing,
and it is probable that the Susitna
and Kuskokwim Valleys also are
suited for grain cultivatin on a large
scale. By using hardy, early-matur
ing varieties of barley, oats, and
spring wheat a considerable quantity
of these grains is now produced.
On the other hand, southeastern Alas
ka, as a whole, is not suited to grain
growing be'cause heavy precipitation
in late summer and fall renders it
difficult to harvest the crc^is in good
! condition. Furthermore there are no
i extensive areas in this part of the
Territory which can be cleared and
cultivated at a moderate cost.
Hybridization work with barley and
oats has developed varieties superior
to those formerly grown. Hybrid
wheats obtained by crossing Siberian
Xo. 1, the earliest wheat so far dis
covered, with vigorous varieties are
expected to be better yielders than
the Siberian parent and almost as
early. As yet there has been devel
oped no winter wheat sufficiently
hardy to withstand the severity of
Alaskan winter?.

tained free, as long as the supply
lasts, by writing to the United States

ARRANGEMENTS HER
WRY 10 PIECE BOND
According to present plans the 4th
of July parade may take place on
Sunday morning of the Fourth in
stead of the following day, on Mon
day, -which has been previously ar
ranged. This change may be made
in view of the fact that efforts are,
being made to secure the services of
the Valdez brass band which will
have to return to Valdez on the same
vessel, the S.S. Alaska. This will ne
cessitate the change for the vessel
will have departed by Monday. How
ever, the plans are not yet fully decid
ed on as a telegram is expected from
Valdez today informing the local com
mittee, their pleasure.
Providing the band comes over it
is expected three or four of the lo
cal musicians will jo^ with them
which would bring the band members
up to about ten. Local musicians are
requested to call in at the Seward
Leather Works and discuss plans with
Earl Mount, a member of the 4th of
July committee.
