AMRC-aec-g947 Dr. Charles C. Georgeson, right, was responsible for establishing and overseeing the U.S. government’s Experimental Farm program in Alaska, beginning with stations in Kodiak and Sitka. In this 1918 photo, Georgeson was photographed with Fred Radar, director of the Matanuska Station, and Radar’s son. The farmers were cutting oats for hay on the Kinsinger ranch, four miles from Matanuska, using a horse-drawn mower. For more information about this image click here. |
