ALASKA GRAIN MARKET IN THE ORIENT
Ohipments of flour from Puget Sound to ports in Japan
^ and China often reach 25,000 barrels per week, and are
steadily increasing.
The 66.000,000 people of Japan and the 400 000,000
people of China are daily taking on the bread eating habit,
in place of rice. They must import the bulk of their bread
grain since all their tillable soil is utilized to the limit to
support the present overpopulaton.
The western shelf of the Kenai peninsula, the Susitna
valley, and the Tanana valley together could produce an
nually 125,000,000 bushels of rye and other grains, most of
which would find a market in the Orient long before that
quantity of production could be reached.
These valleys in central Alaska are 1400 miles nearer
the Orient than the grain fields of Eastern Washington
and Eastern Oregon, and the port of Seward is 1000 miles
nearer the ports of Japan and China than any port of the
Pacific States. Shipments of Alaska grain in conse
quence would have an advantage in freight rates over
shipments from Oregon and Washington. Besides, grain
produced in those states is even now mostly required for
home consumption, and soon all of it will be.
The management of the Alaska Railroad could open
a field of large and almost limitless possibilities by svs
tematically taking up and incouraging a policy of settling
and developing the agricultural lands in its tributary ter
ritory for the production of rye and other kinds of grain
that thrive in these latitudes. It could start by arrang
ing for a first shipment of 3000 tons of rye and wheat pro
duced on the farms of the Matanuska, the Susitna and the
Tanana valleys, in co-operation with farmers alreadv es
tablished there. That industry, once started, would ex
pand amazingly.
Yep. the Editor of The Valdez News Miner took an
other wallop at the Editor of The Gateway and Seward
last week. As long as they talk about Seward fine and
dandy. Ho, Hum!
Some men seem to have a salve for the woes of others,
but none for their own.
Adversity links men together, while prosperity is apt
to scatter them.
Extreme gravity is oftener the result of stupidity
than of wisdom.
