Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of Alaska Agricultural Experiment Stations for 1906 The plans outlined in former reports have been followed. That is to say, the work at this station has been along horticultural lines. Sitka Station is the main station only in the sense that it is the head quarters from which the work of the other stations is directed. Grain growing isno longer attempted here. Our experiments have proved that the coast region is not well adapted to the grow ing of grain. It will mature in most seasons, but the months of Au gust, September, and October are usually so wet that as a rule it is almost impossible to save the crop. This fact is sufficient to deter farmers from attempting to grow. Grain except as a forage crop; but aside from this there is in the coast region but little land adapted to the cultivation of grain. The mimerons small valleys, coves, and pockets do, however, afford splendid locations for gardens. Our efforts are devoted, therefore, chiefly to the things that are likely to succeed in the region represented by this station, namely, vege tables, berry fruits, and probably some varieties of tree fruits. Perhaps the most important feature of the work has been the propagating, cultivating, and distributing of nursery stock. There are growing a few trees of each of some thirty varieties of apples, with a View to studying their behavior. For this purpose there have been selected the hardiest varieties known, which at the same time mature their fruit early. Only early maturing sorts will sue oecd. Varieties which are summer apples in the States will be fall apples in Alaska, and those which are fall apples in the States will not mature at all in Alaska. The summer heat is not great enough. In the coast region the season between frosts is long - longer, indeed, by at least two months than in the northern tier of States.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of Alaska Agricultural Experiment Stations for 1913 Several hundred new seedlings were raised and set out. Many of these will probably be lost during the winter by the heaving of the soil, due to frost. It never is cold enough to injure the plants directly. They are extremely hardy, measured by their ability to stand low temperatures; but the winter climate is nevertheless trying, to all young plants. The spongy soil absorbs and holds much mois ture, freezmg ra1ses the crust and tears the roots of the plants, and when thawing weather again causes the soil to settle the plants are left loose and partly raised from the ground, and with repeated freezings and thawings by Spring they are left on the surface dead. This condition has been partly remedied by covering the plants with spruce boughs to keep the ground from thawing, but it is only partly\ successful. Large plants do not suffer from this cause to the same degree as do the smalle1 ones. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Stations, 1915 In the coast region the rainfall was also less than usual during the first half of the summer. This was favorable to all kinds of fruits and vegetables. At the Sitka Station the strawberries began to mature by the middle of June, the earliest date on record. The KO diak Station was affected unfavorably by this weather. The grass did not grow with its normal vigor, and grain crops seeded for hay were stunted for lack of rain. Nevertheless, there was sufficient pas ture to keep the cattle in fine condition. When it did begin to rain it rained so continuously that it interfered seriously with hay making, and barely enough hay and silage was saved to carry the herd through the winter. The farmers and gardeners throughout the whole Territory report a favorable season. Vegetables and berries were never better or produced in greater abundance. To point out the striking difference between the seasons of 1914 and 1915, there is given below a condensed temperature record taken from 18 stations, which represent the whole Territory.

This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Stations, 1917 From an agricultural standpoint, 1917 was the worst season since these investigations have been in progress, the general average of results being, therefore, also the least satisfactory. The summer of 1915 was a favorable season from the standpoint of agriculture. By comparing the daily mean temperature at four of the stations for June, July, and August of that year with the temperatures of the same period for 1917, we find the cause of the difference in results. The facts are as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
