ARE RAISING FUR MARKET
_
The Land and Industrial Depart
ment of the Commission lias compiled
some statistics concerning the agri
cultural industry along the line of
the railroad and the demund there Is
for agricultural products in the larger
towns. Four hundred und twenty six
homesteaders in the vicinity of Sew
ard, Anchorag' -Matanusku, kink and
Fairbanks wore written for data
showing tho crops they estimated
raising during the present year. At
the same time 107 merchants, res
taurants and mine operators at Sew
ard, Anchorage and Fairbanks and
vicinity were written and asked to
advise how much of the produce rais
ed by the homesteaders they could
utilize In their business.
The object the department had In
view was to bring about a closer co
operation between the farmers and
merchants to the end that the farmers
would supply und the merchants pur
chase from them all the agricultural
pucts they required in their busin ss
instead of having these necessities
shipped to Alaska from the Stutcs.
Heretofore the homesteaders have
eomplaini d that they could not dis
pose of their produce to the merchants
who continued to import produce that
is readily raised in Alaska.
The homesteaders and merchants
did not respond as enthusiastically as
it was oxpected, as of the number of
homesteaders written only 70 replied
and of the merchants and others
ritten only 17 replied. From these
replies statistics have been compile 1.
The area the 70 homesteaders re
; ort they have under cultivation Is '
541 3-4 acres. The number of farm- j
ug implements reported in use is 111; i
this number does not include nny
l and implements for farming. The
number of tons of potatoes raised is
022.4; turnips 80.35; rutabugos 96.65;
carrots 55.65; beets 10.45; barley 60.15. ,
oats 109.40; rye 2.05; wheat 6.10; hay
110.37; clover 4.75; alfalfa 3.12. The
numb r of plants of the following are;
Cabbage, 29,235; cauliflower, 2,635; \
celery 30,440; lettuce 2,980. Green
peas, 3,950 pounds: tomatoes 11,000
lbs.; rhubarb 2,510 lbs.; cantlloupes
300. The total number of chickens Is .
533, hogs 82, calves 6, cows 9 horses 1
46, and wagons owned 21.
It is estimated that before the ex- |
piration of the present year the Alas
kan Eng.neering Commission will It
self use as much produce as the 17
merchants and others estimated they;
would require In their business this
year. The merchants estimated they
would require 582.5 tons of potatoes; ;
27.2 turnips; rutabagos 28.0; pars
nips 17.55; carrots 30.8; beets 12.43;
onions dry 83.05; barley 66.56; oats
