ALASKA AVERAGE
POPULATION 208,000,
3,000 OVER LAST YEAR
JUNEAU —Alaska’s “average
population” has been estimated
by the Federal Census Bureau at
: 208,000, an increase of 3,000 over
last year.
The Alaska resource Develop
ment Board reported the figures
Saturday with the comment that
the territory’s popuation curve “is
leveling oif but this fact in itself
is not alarming and shows less of
a slaekening off than was gener
ally anticipated.”
In making its estimate, the Cen
sus Bureau used a count of per
sons entering and leaving the ter
ritory plus the gain of births over
deaths and averaged the figures
to compensate for seasonal fluc
tuations.

THE SUN SHINES HOT ON MY NORTHERN GARDEN PLOT
By HAROLD SALISBURY
Us Sourdoughs, we by the Bering Sea,
Demand a hearty fodder,
By ship and plane,- grub to sustain
Comes in to fill each larder,
And though the grass up here is crass
No scurvy do we swig
For when the Springtime sunbeams sing
Our garden plots we dig!
And in the sun’s rays power runs
Which right soon gives the notion
Of cabbages as big as pigs
And carrots with emotion,
So fast we scratch our garden patch
And though the season’s shorter
Nature amends and gaily sends
Stuff bigger by three-quarters!
And since it is no easy biz
To farm it on the tundra
To tenderfeet,- here’s the^ receipt
To tell how it is dundra,
Now the North is girt without no dirt
And so,- your plot to rear
You elbows rub at the Woman’s Club,
- Do I make my meaning clear?
Use a Northward Ho! and and and ice-pick so
And of course an Arctic Sickle,
And a big trump spade with chilled-steel
blade
Will lend a tundra-tickle!
And though the lettuce will loom momentious
Don’t let the bigness bug it
And any stone,- away ’tis thrown,
- ’Twas prob’bly but a nugget!
Us Sourdoughs, we by the Bering Sea,
Crave vitamin-value victuals
And onions green on this Northern scene
To decorate our kettles!
So when the Winter blast is past,
In tune to Springtime sprigs,
Every hungry Rake,- for his belly’s sake,
Gets a garden plot and digs
