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.
