Fairbauks Times; Jn compliance
with a request of the Fairbanks
Commercial club, J. W. Neal, super
intendent of the government ex
periment station near Kster Siding,
nag written an exhaustive paper on
agricultural conditions and possibili
ties or interior Alaska. Mr. Neal is
thoroughly convinced that the inter- '
ior will be a great agricultural ■
country- some day, but he sees
many setbacks in store for the nien i
who strive for the up-building of the
country.
In starting his pap«r, Mr. Neal t
cites the fact that there are many
farmers in the Tanana valley now, |
and all of them makirnj a living, as !
the best argument in favor of the i
possibilities of agriculture in the in
teror.
Although weather conditions were
very unfavorable during the past
summer, especially for harvesting,
the governmeut experimental farm j
matured the greater part of Its I
crops, and 230 bushels of grain, in j
several varieties, were threshed. Fiv j
varieties of barley, seven of oats, I
one of spring rye. one of fall rve,
two of spring -wheat, and one of fall
wheat, ripened, and a number of
specimens of all these -were sent i
to the Panama-Pacific exposition.
At the government farm, the hull
less barley threshed 1.800 pounds
to the acre, the beardless barley
threshed 1,275 pounds to the acre;
sixty-day oats threshed 49 bushels
to the acre; Finnish black oats j
On a north slop© of very thin soil j
threshed 135 bushels from a five- j
acre tract. On the south slope,!
the yield from this latter variety j
was 90 bushels to the acre.
Spring -wheat is reported as hav- j
ing teen very uncertain thus far. I
Some new experiments are being j
made this -winter, and it is hoped
that -within a shoit time the prob
lem will be solved.
been clearly demonstrated that there
been clearly demonstratde that there
are few states that can equal Alas
ka in raising such hardy vegetables
as cabbage, cauliflower, rutabagas,
turnips, beets, carrots, parsnipsj
! I'eas, rhubarb, celery, iettuctt and
others.
In writing of the potato crops
raiseu at the farm, Mr. Neal has
the following to say :
"Potatoes have been grown at
the station, on a commercial scale,
f»r six years, and it will, no douTjt,
be interesting to note that a few
**cres on the south slope, in front
Of the station cottage, yielded po
tato crops, without fertilizers, which
sold as follows; First year, per
acre, $500; sScond year, per acre,
$700; third year, per acre, $500;
fourth year, seeded to red clover
and alfalfa; fifth year, five tons of
potatoes per acre, at $100 per ton.
These figures are startling to people
unacquainted with conditions and
prices here."
Owing to the fact that feed is so
high in the interior, the government
man does not think that stock-rais
ins- will be entered into extensively
f°r some time, until conditions
change.
Iu the paper, the farmers are
urged to form a protective associa
tion and start a nioveaient toward
discouraging the importation of hay,
grain, vegetables, poultry and oth
er products.

New York, Dec. 11—Strange ru- j
mors are afloat regarding tho make
up of the groat machine that Joe
l)uf* gave Pittsburgh university the
season just closed. .Mike Boland,
of Princeton is credited with having
told Dean AlcCleanahan that Duff
made him a substantial inducement
to paly with Pittsburgh next sea
son.
The story followed others to the
effect that rules of eligibility that
are in force in all the big western
and eastern universities and col
leges, have no plac© on the statute
books at Pittsburgh. 'Where there's
so much smoke—there ought to be
an explanation.
Why build your own fires when
you can get a steam heated room
and good board, for $40 per month
and HP, at tho Golden North hotel.
