ALFALFA MAY'PROVE
BOON TO ALA8KAN8
A handful of alfalfa seed may
prove to bo of Immense value for
the agricultural future of Alaska.
Out of it may grow farms more fer
tile than were ever considered pos
sible n the Far North says the Post
Intelligencer. Which sounds like a
miracle, or at least, a very great ex
ggeration, but it is the truth.
C. C. Georgeson, commissioner of
agriculture for Alaska, who has ar
rived in the city, is greatly pleased
at the survival of this year of a cer
tain hardy, yellow-flowered variety
of alfalfa introduced from Siberia,
at rampart station, in latitude 65
degrees, 30 minutes, it matures seed
freely, and it is only a matter of time
when enough seed will be produced
to seed large portions of the inter
ior suited to alfalfa culture.
That in itself may not appear re
markable, but in the value of alfalfa
as an enricher of the soil that Com
missioner Georgeson sees great pos
sibilities which may materialize from
the experiment. Alfalfa is a great ni
trogen gatherer and nitrogen is the
most essential element in animal and
plant growth.
“I could hold in the palm of my
hand all that there was of this seed
to begin with,” said Commissioner
Georgeson. “By the end of the sum
mer we had a quart of it and next
year we shall have a consderably
larger quantity..”
The experimental stations are now
much concerned in interesting set
tlers in the varieties of grain which
are particularly adapted to thrive in
Alaska and big quantities of such
seeds were sent out to settlers this
year.
Commissioner Georgeson is en
deavoring to develop varieties of
spring wheat which will mature in a
shorter period of time than those now
grown in the states or in Canada, and
here again Siberia is proving of big
assistance. A completely satisfac
tory variety has not yet been produc
ed but the work will be continued un
til a hybridization of varieties con
taining the desired varieties yields
the result sought for.

'• YOUNG\ROMA n£B"
. , . At THE EMPRESS
I ^ ,
Edith Taliaferro In "Young Ro
mance," a drama of romantic youth,
will appear at the Empress theatre
tonight and tomorrow night, also
Pathe News.
The story deals with a young shop
girl who is determined to be a “real
lady” for once in her life, and who
saves up $100 and goes to a seaside
resort, where she poses as a Fifth
avenue heiress.
In the same department store there
works one Tom Clancy, who 1b of a
romantic turn of mind, and who goes
to the same hotel under false colors.
The girl is kidnapped by a bogus
count who forces her to sign a check
for $10,000. Tom rescues her and
the young people fall in love, but are
ashamed to declare their passion,
each thinking the other is the genu
ine article.
They separate, going back to the
store, and fate throws them in each
other’s way, and so the course of true
love runs to a happy conclusion.
At the Empress, tonight and to
morrow night.
