Washington as a man not a demigod in old portraits

Alaska Wheat Trials Grow Food For Frontier Settlers
Alaska experiment stations report 1921 yields of 3 500 bushels of spring wheat near Fairbanks and 1 000 bushels in Matanuska Valley. Wheat from Siberian stock yields high quality flour. Farmers in Tanana Valley produce 8 000 bushels of wheat with oats and barley also grown. Result: local food supplies expand while mining fishing and timber remain main Alaska incomes.
