THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, .1935. A-12 = ALASKA CITIZENS . PLAN FARM SURVEY Veteran Merchants and Farmers Working Out Own Agricul- tural Program. By the Associated Press. CORDOVA, Alaska, September 10. —Not to be outdone by the Federal farm colonization project in the Mata- oo CAzn nuska Valley, pioneer West Central Alaska farmers and merchants are working out their own plan of making Alaska feed herself. Sensing that the time had come to pay attention to Alaska’s agricul- tural possibilities, in addition to the fur, mineral and fish resources which long have held major attention, a survey was announced by veteran mer- chants and farmers today to deter- mine the probabilities of raising all the farm produce the territory needs. A comprehensive marketing plan also is being studied independent of the Federal colonization plan which does not benefit the already estab- lished independent farmers. Presaging an expansion of farming in Alaska, much land is being pre- empted and prepared for tillage. ‘Where forestry laws prohibit, land is being taken under the mineral act. - Prayers for Reich Jews.
