NEED FOR LARGER
GRAZING ACREAGE
SAY CATTLEMEN
WASHINGTON ASKED TO EXTEND
640-ACRE HOMSTEAD FOR
GRAZING PURPOSES
Pressure is being brought to bear on
Washington to secure the application
of 640-acre homestead law to Alaska
to encourage cattle raising. The
farmers feel the need of larger areas,
especially those stockmen in Alaska
who are putting constructive thought
and effort into the raising of cattle
and sheep.
The present homestead law allows
entrymen to acquire title to a maxi
mum of 160 acres of land, from the
public domain, by complying with the
homestead laws. This, in most cases
is sufficient land for a farmer who
contemplates to make his living from
the cultivation of the land, but it is
not sufficient to support the produc
tion of more than a limited number
of livestock, such as would be kept in
the feeding of the products of the
land. In the grass-growing areas
where experience has shown that it
is impracticable to break the native
soil, because of washing by rains and
not being adaptable to domestic crops,
the present area of land allowed is in
sufficient to support animal husbandry
on a scale so as to be attractive to
the average settler.
Southwestern, central and South
eastern Alaska has thousands of acres
of range and grass land, areas large
enough to support hundreds of thou
sands of cattle and sheep. Much of
the available range lies in a latitude
mlid enough that cattle range thru
out the year and in some instances
where they are protected from the de
predations of wild animals as on the
islands scattered along the Alaskan
peninsula have gone wild, increasing
to the carrying ability of their limited
ranges.
That 160 acres of land is too small
a plat of land to support profitable
units of animal husbandry on range
land has been recognized in the States,
and the size of homesteads increased
to allow for the profitable operation
of stock farms by the small farmer.
Six hundred and forty acres or one
square mile is the acreage allowed.
It is pointed out by those undertak
ing beef and mutton production in
Alaska that if the Department of the
Interi0r would extend the 640-acre al
lowance to the range lands of Alaska,
as has been the rule in the States, in
ducement would be made to the farm
ers and stockmen ito enter the busi
ness of stockraising, thereby supplying
locally much meat imported, as well
as contributing a surplus to the mar
kets of the States.
FRENCH CHEFS WILE
PARIS, March 7. (£>)—'The best
French chefs are going 'to show the
avarage householder how, figurative
ly, “to imake good ragout out of an
old shoe.”
Brains, say the cooks, should be
boiled, broiled, stewed, roasted or
stirred into every dish. They pro
pose to show the public what mar
vels they can do with cheap materi
als.* They are going to exhibit an
average household’s daily marketing,
weight, everything, calculated the
exact cost and produce the finished
meals. They expect to prove that
the cost of living can be brought
down and living standards sent up
at the same time.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be reaMsed.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
