Vgricultural Possibilities
The ># nator was greatly impiess**d
with what he had seen on his jour
ney. ami was particularly interested
n the arricultulal possibilities of the
Interior. He seems to have made a
pat ticular study of this subject, and
>poke enthusiastically of the. possibili
ties for agriculture there in the futui *
when a market has been created, Ami
of the splendid work ol the l pi ted
States experimental station. He to' 1
of having seen wheat fields whir*
wei%* estimated to yield thirty bush** .
to the ac*v, and extraordinary fields
of oats which would run scveutyvbusJt
els. “The Tanana valley will be able
to raise plenty, of agricultural prod
ucts for an extensive population when
a market is created.’’ he said.- • Tile
garu ns of the city of Fairbanks were
also noted by the senator. and tip*
fact that the War-time gnrdyns k;ys
complied With by tl\e-F;(irhanks resi
dent.-* was ev dent on every hand. Tbo
products of these gardens were equal
to those raised anywhere, he said, j
f ishing In The ^ ukon
Senator Heckman has been for
many years conned* d w'itri rhri'sai
mon-eanning industry, and naturally
he was interested- in th** Yukon* fish
eries. Ho spoke of seeing a ■ catch
of 21.000 of the finest king salmon ho
bad ever seen. When questioned
about the agitation in the Interior to
forbid the operation of ‘canneries on
the Yukon, he said that so far as the
present regulations were ‘concerned,
which limit th** puck to fJd.000 cases
he could see no danger of depleting
the fish supply of that stream-and its
tributaries. However, h** said,' these*
regulations applied only to fishing in
th** river itself, and not to that carri 21
oil in tin* shallow water / hear the
mouth of the \ukon.
