AGRICULTURAL
POSSIBILITIES
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
In every way the season of 1916 was
a successful one, so far as thre agri
cultural experiment station was con
cerned. This report is made today
by J. W. Neal, superintendent of the
station, who was in town on business.
All the grains, covering about 60
acres, ripened nicely, and have been
threshed and are now in the early
part of the season by unsual rains,
and in the latter part of the season
the same trouble, the station succeed
ed in getting all its crops housed in
good shape. As for next year, Mr.
Neal predicts that It will be better
than any in the agricultural history
of the interior, as the farmers gen
erally are devoting more attention to
this branch of farming and undoubt
edly will have a heavy acreage dur
ing the season of 1917.
Seed Loans a Success.
During the early spring, owing to
the fact that there was a shortage of
seed in the Tanana valley, the exper
imental station, by authority of the
department, offered to loan seed to
any of the farmers who wished to
avail themselves of the opportunity,
provided they complied with certain
regulations.
The conditions were that the farm
ers were to have the seed on condi
tion that they would plant it, and re
turn it in kind after they.had thresh
ed in the fall. The farmers were not
even compelled to put up any security
that they would return it, each one
being left to his honor to comply with
the regulations and demands of the
department. Thirty-two of the pio
neer agriculturists availed themselves
of the opportunity and between this
number 10,000 pounds of seed was dis
tributed
This morning Mr. Neal said that
he had not had time to visit the
farmers as yet, but he had received
reports that the experiment had been
a success and that some of them are
now ready to thresh. As soon as the
roads dry up a little more, the
thresher will start making the rounds
of thes efarms.
Big Turnip Seed Yield.
Last year the experimental station
raised considerable turnip seed,
known as the Petroska variety. The
yield last year was good and consid
erable seed was distributed through
out the interior. This year the sta
tion raised 1,200 more pounds of the
seed, which is sufficient to supply the
whole interior for some time to come
and, for that reason, none will be
planted next season.
Wheat Ripened.
This season 100 bushels of excel
lent wheat ripened on the farm and
is now sacked and housed for the win
ter. In addition to this, the station
raised about 700 bushels of grains of
all kinds. The hay crop was a good
one, also, about 40 tons having been
cut and housed for the winter.
Plant Breeder.
C. D. Crippen, who has been at the
Rampart station for several years, is
now located in Fairbanks as assistant
to Mr. Neal. He is a plant breeder
expert, and it is prnhahle that exten
sive work along this line will be done
next year.
Although the farmers of the dis
trict had trouble in saving their crops
this year, owing to the heavy rains,
they succeeded, and that is more than
is done in many states of the union
during extraordinary weather, Mr.
Neal says. For seevral years, the
farmers have.been going ahead,' se
curing a better variety of produce
each year and finding seed especially
suited to the climate, and without
any failures, and notwithstanding the
fact that pessimists ridiculed their
efforts.
Clover a Soil Builder.
On one of the last boats to arrive
in Fairbanks the experimental station
received a big shipment of clover
seed. Next year Mr. Neal will plant
a great deal of this as a soil builder.
This will be en experiment which he
and Prof. Georgeson think will be a
success.
Much Clearing.
While the plans have not been per
fected for next year, Mr. Neal said
today that he expects that there will
be some extensive clearing done at
the experimental station. The acre
age to be cleared and the general
plans of the station for next year will
be decided upon definitely at some lat
er date.
