(Editor's Npte:—There was a
story published in the American Mag.
azine for August which is one of bhe
hast articles on Alaska that has been
told in a whole series of blue moons.
In the fear that there ans many Alas,
kans who might have missed reading
wihat Barrett Willoughby had to say
about Dr. C. C. Georgeson, former
head of experimental agriculture in
the Territory, the Seward Gateway is
reprinting the article for the good of
the souls of those who have already
found their destiny here or who may
be casting longing eyes to this Em.
pi-re of the North. In so doing we
give full credit to the American, hop.

their stuff in tile effort to carry on

in four or five ‘takes’, but we strongly

THE STORY
At Sitka, one summer day, I was
walking with Dr. C. C. Georgieson, the
plant wizard of Alaska. We made
our waiy thru a field of ripe strawber.

green rows sloped fanwise toward
distant, glacier_hung mountains shim,

the fragrance from crimson berries
at our feet. I plucked one, too larg>a
for me to encircle with the forefinger
and thumb, and bit into it. Firm, cool,
delicious, it melted in my mouth.
We halted beside rows of peas up.

ed by the dustless Alaskan green that
knows no insect past. The luxuriant
vines were eight feet tall and heavy
with six.inch pods, exactly likta the
plump ones featured in seed catalogue
illustrations. They plopped with crisp
vigor when I broke them open. The
peas were sweet and tender, and of
that ineffable fuashness that marks
the flavor of all Alaska-grown vegeta.

Where peas tended, potatoes began.
The lusty, verdent lines were starred
with fliowiers in whtich bumblebees

variety yields splendid harvests as
far north as Coldfoot, 60 miles beyond

tor. “And it is up there, just where
the Yukon sweeps north across the
Circle, that we have developed a
wheat which matures in 82 days from
seed.”
I turned from the thriving acres
to look at the man who has accom.

BEAUTY’S 14 POINTS
All women cannot be "Miss Amer

Mister Coolidges.
But where a man has only one
chance in 15.000.000 (if my statistics
are correct) to be president ol the
United States, on every woman’s face
there are fourteen chances to be
beautiful.

If. upon taking out your hand mir

yourself batting a mere 60 per cent,
don't be discouraged. Most women
bat less than 50. Besides, every one.
Including yourself, has one best

yourself easy to look at rather than
a strain on the eyes Is finding that

thick sandy hair was a fare scarcely
lined. His eyes were blue and bright,
his upheld chin firm, and a trifle ar
rogant—the chin of a leader who
never ceases to fight for the cause
dear to him.
“Act as if the country were your
own, and go ahead.” Such was the
gist of the instructions given him by
the Secretary of Agriculture who first
sent Dr. Georgeson into the North to
see what could be done toward de.
veloping homegrown products for Al.
askan settlers. And it has been on
that principal that he, one of the
world's great experts in cross.breed,
ing, has thrown the best of his energy
and talent into evolving plants and
cattle suited to conditions toe found
there.
I knew there lay behind his great
agricultural achievement more than a
quarter.century of fighting—fighting
adverse climatic conditions, lack of
funds, dicouragements, and failures;,
fighting, too, the disbelief and deri

benefit hie was giving his work and
