GOVERNOR CALLS
ON ALASKANS TO;
RAISE PRODUCTS
Necessity of producing in Alaska
all possible in the way of farm pro
duce has already been set forth and
is now emphasized officially in the
following:
Territory of Alaska, By the (Iovernoi
PROCLAMATION
Whereas the maintenance of a food
supply is absolutely essential to na*
tional preparedness; and
Whereas the people ot this terri
tory and the United States have cause
for grave concern, owing to the de
pletion of the food reserves ot the
world through crop shortages ot last
year, increased demands from the
countries engaged in war, and the
fact that there > little prom Use of
abundant winter grain crops; and
Whereas, while Alaska is not strict

well known that our soil is capable
of producing many kinds of fruits ami
vegetables, and especially potatoes
may be raised in abundance;
And it is clearly recognized that the
man who tills the soil and produces
food for his family at homo will thus
aid in furnishing food for the soldier
in the field by decreasing our impor
tations of certain kinds of foodstu ft s.
A service may, in this way, be ren
dered as truly patriotic as that given
hv the men who wear the brunt of
battle.
Therefore, in the present crisis a
peculiar responsibility rests upon the
farming population and citizens gen

imperative need that the people of
Alaska shall fully realize the neces

land should be utilized in the produc
tion of foodstuffs;
NOW, THEREFORE. 1, J. F. A.
STRONG, governor of the Territory
of Alaska, do urge upon the farmers
of Alaska, and the citizens of the re
spective towns, that they recognize
this responsibility and their duty to
safeguard the welfare of the Terri
tory and the nat;on in this crisis, and
to plant ground and increase the vol
ume of agricultural products and thus
