POSSIBILITIES OF RYE GROWING
A merieans are accustomed to wheat bread, and they are
^*apt to consider grain raising in Alaska from the stand
point of wheat raising. ,
But they overlook the big fact that in Europe rye is
the principal grain grown north of latitude 56, and from
that as far north as the latitude of 68. Elven the north
ern states of the United States produce 90,000,000 bushels
of rye per year.
Rye is the one grain that is indigeous to these north
ern latitudes of Alaska. It is a sure crop every year, be
couse it grows and matures within 60 days after planting.
The Government experiment farms at Matanuska
have been for several years growing varieties of rye that
yield from 30 to 60 bushels to the acre, with never a fail
ure or even a shortage.
While rye makes a dark colored bread, its nutritive
qualities are equal to the nutritive values of the hard
wheat. Rye bread forms the staff of life for 100,000,000
of Europe’s northern population.
The Kenai peninsula, the Susitna valley, and the Tan
ana valley together contain fully 5,000,000 acres of land
that could be under rye cultivation every year with an av
erage yield of 25 bushels to the acre.
Talk about your gold mines! If those tilleable 5,000,
000 acres all within the area of the Alaska Railroad, were
under rye production at 25 bushels per acre, the total yield
would be 125,000,000 bushels.
At $1 a bushel, the average price in Europe, we have
the Klondike beat five times in its palmiest years.
Some day those developments will come with the cer
tainty of the world’s fast increasing population.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. (TP)—Eve
ry farmer in the United States has
access to a million dollar information
bureau.
It is Uncle Sam’s market news ser
vice, operated by congressional ap
propriation. Daily, throughout the
country, it correlates the radio, o
cean cables and miles of telephone
and telegraph wires in distributing
quotations.
Allied with the Titanic system, co
operative “listening posts,” clearing
•
houses of information, are supervised
by the Bureau of Agricultural Econo
mics. The newest such institution
has been established in San Francis
co, at request of the California Vin
yardist Association. It will gather
data on prices, supply and distribu
tion of grapes.
The information will show the
number of carloads of each variety
and grade sold at different prices.
Railroads will supply figures on the
number of cars of each variety of
grapes moved to the market. East
ern points will send supplement re
ports every 24 hours on shipments
received and distributed.
Laughter and tears at the Liberty.

EXCURSION SUNDAY ON
THE M S DISCOVERER:
I l
Captain Heinie Berger, of the mo- j
torship Discoverer announces that he i
will run a 12-hour excursion Sunday, j
August 21, to Bear glacier, North- ;
western glacier and to Seal Rocks, j
His large, comfortable vessel will de- i
part from the floating wharf at 7 j
o’clock Sunday morning, returning in |
the evening between the hours of 6 j
and 7 o’clock. Luncheon will be j
served on board by the skipper.
Tickets will go on sale tomorrow i
at the Candy Cottage, Schallerer's j |
Alaska Shop, the Northern, Seward , j
Drug, Urbach’s and the Seward Gate- i
way, at $3.50 each.
The voyage will be one of consi- j
derable .pleasure, as the vessel is i
i i
practically within sheltered zone at j
all times. Already, it is stated, there j
are many who are making up small j. |
groups, for it is seldom the citizens 1 i
of this community have the opportu- i
nity of making a sea trip of thjs \
nature. j
CROOKS AT LIBERTY TONITE
The publics “stand-by,” a crook j
play, is at the Liberty theater to- j
night. But this story is quite differ- j
ent from the ordinary run, and is j
hailed as almost equal to ^ie ^famous i
“Miracle Man.”
In any event it is handed'down as |
a very entertaining play. If the cast <
has anything to do with its interest,
ithen this one should win. James
Kirkwood has never done so well
before.
It’s a crooked, traveling Medicine
Show gang who run up against the
j Salvation Army. It may be a little
too strong for orthodox church peo- j
pie, but is sure good.
