snowfall is deep enough to protect the grain 
against severe winter temperature, say from 
2 ^ ^9 3f'2 feet. Rye is hardier than wheat and 
therefore the more successful of the two grains; 
but it is expected that the experiment station 
will develop varieties of these grains suited to 
the climatic conditions. Siberian alfalfas which 
the Department of Agriculture secured through 
Prof. N. E. Hansen, of South Dakota, from 
the vast senii-arid regions of Western Siberia 
have been introduced, and have been grown at 
the experiment station at Rampart in latitude 
65° 30', where all the experiments with grains 
and various plants are conducted. If another 
year should prove that they can maintain them¬ 
selves, an important problem in Alaskan agri¬ 
culture has been solved, as a leguminous plant 
was needed, not only to furnish feed for live 
stock, but to aid in the maintenance of the fer¬ 
tility of the soil. 
The climate of the coast region is modified 
by the proximity of the Pacific Ocean. The 
winters are comparatively mild, but the sum¬ 
mers are cold and moist. The lowest temper¬ 
ature at Sitka the past winter was 14 degrees 
above zero, and the highest temperature on 
record at the same place during a period of 
upward of seventy-five years is 87 degrees. The 
maximum temperature frequently does not ex¬ 
ceed 75 degrees and sometimes it does not reach 
that high during the entire growing season. 
The difficulty with apple-growing in the coast 
region is not that the winters are too cold, 
but that the summers are not warm enough to 
mature the fruit. In the interior, on the other 
hand, the summers are warm enough, but the 
winters are too severe for the trees to survive 
without protection. The probability is, there¬ 
fore, that fruit growing aside from berry bushes 
will never be a success in interior Alaska. 
The Fairbanks Station, which has ninety acres 
under cultivation, has the task of demonstrat¬ 
ing how far general agriculture, such as would 
be practiced by the average farmer, can be 
made a success in that region. Fairbanks is 
located in the Tanana Valley, in which it is 
estimated there are about 15,000 square miles 
of land available for agriculture. Grain grow¬ 
ing and the cultivation of vegetables, particu¬ 
larly potatoes, are the lines of work followed at 
this station. By way of demonstration that po¬ 
tato growing can be made a success in that 
valley, thirty tons were raised on seven acres 
the past season, which, if sold at the low aver¬ 
age price of five cents a pound, would be worth 
$3,000. Last year the station sold several tons 
of potatoes at the rate of $180 a ton. It is in¬ 
teresting to note that the first self-binder which 
has been brought to Alaska was operated in the 
grain' fields of the Fairbanks Station in the 
summer of 1911. 
The Rampart Experiment Station is located 
in the Yukon valley in latitude 65° 30' north. 
Thirty acres of land are at present under plow, 
all of which is devoted to strictly experiment, 
the production of new varieties, the growing of 
pedigreed grains, and the introduction and test¬ 
ing of forage plants which give promise of be¬ 
ing useful. 
The Kodiak Experiment Station, located on 
the island of the same name, is devoted ex¬ 
clusively to cattle breeding. Eighty-five head 
of pure-bred Galloway cattle of all ages are now 
at this station. There is also a flock of long- 
wool sheep, which appear to be remarkably 
well adapted to the climate. The Galloway 
breed of cattle was chosen for the reason that 
their original home, southern Scotland, has a 
siniilar climate. Nature has provided them 
with a very heavy coat of long hair which pro¬ 
tects them against the cold rains; they are very 
excellent rustlers and can find their own living 
wherever the snow is off the grass; moreover, 
they have no horns and can, therefore, be 
shipped and handled with greater ease than 
horned cattle. They are an excellent beef breed 
and there is a ready market for beef in towns 
and settlements along the Alaska coast, but they 
are poor milkers, and one of the problems 
which this station is trying to solve is the evo¬ 
lution of an all-purpose Galloway cow, that will 
give milk as well as provide good beef, and 
doubtless the efforts will be a success.
