OLE MARTiH'S HEROIC STORY
Miles From Any Human Being, He
Broke the Land With a Hand Culti
vator and Won With Hia Nerve and
Drains Ole'a Experience With Potato
Glowing.
This is the story of a fanner who
won because hi- hud nerve tiuil uritfor
stiuulliiK vuoueli to sit down mi bis
hind mid tight it out to a tinisU. n
runner v.lio hnd never beiird of the
word dlKmumgi-ment and whose only
dt'tliililoii of rullure was thai It niciiui
"try ugulu 11 little harder;" also It la
the tale of a man who farmed as much
with his head as he did with his bunds,
mid he did an enormous umoiint of
work with those latter.
His name not Unit It matters par
tlculn'rl' Ik le Martin, and sis years
nso he drifted Into these United Stales
from Sweden, where he had been farm
Ink in rocky mid exhausted land for
ilftueu years. Sis months after bis
arrival at New York he was In Alaska,
and six mouths after that he had a few
acres of hind ou the Kenal peninsula.
Then be begun to farm. There wero
no neighbors not then, at least, for It
was not until later that n taciturn
Scot sat duwu a short distance uway
and began to farm on bis own ac
couut. Had No Doga or Horses.
The location was throe and a half
miles uorth of the new towu of Sew
ard, and there was no railroad; also
there wero no horses and at first not
even a dog, so supplies bud to be
"packed" lu. A mnu who has never
carried sixty to a hundred pounds on
his back over rough, unbroken coun
try can only Imngiue that. Grouud
bad to be broken and cleared. Then It
had to be prepared for sowing, und
tbe old methods of Sweden nud the
United States even were useless. Mar
tiu began with potatoes and fulled.
Ills results were watery caricatures
of the potato of commerce. Lie bad
got bis seeds from Seattle, and be
tried again and failed again. Then be
began to farm with Ids bead, lie pro
ceeded to educate his potatoes and
teach them to grow respectably. This
could only be dune by growing and rc
seeding. Soon he had real potatoes
und began lo sell them.
Cultivation was a p.-oblem. for with
out tools It was UlltKult. Martin solv
ed this problem, b.iwever. in bis own
patient way. lie hull! himself a hand
machine and pnslied 11 himself with
prodigous lahor. Later, when he bad
secured a dog team, be broke them to
haul the cultivator. It was u severe
tusk, for he was alone. There was no
hired man Just Ole h'-nself and the !
dogs.
Decided on Garden Truck.
Fludlug himself so close to a grow
ing community. Martlu sun- that in
gurdeu produce there would be a mar
ket, uud be set to put some seven
acres under cultlvutlou. lu nearly all
bis work he had trouble with his seeds.
Those from the States would uot grow
well lu a soil where there were 140
inches of raiufnll lu a year, and so be
had to educate bis turnips, bis cauli
flower, carrots, cabbages und tho rest
to grow lu dump soil.
The government inulutulus experi
ment stations, but these were and are
too few; also they are ouly experiment
stations, and the real work must be
done by the real farmer. Martin went
through It all, and he built bis log
house, barn and outbuildings. He cuts
his hay tons of It by hand and ricks
It alone. Be finds time for flowers,
and these are his amusements. He
built an incubator and Is raising chick
ens and Is housing them In a log
house equipped with a stove. Every
bit of work on the plnce every last
tun has been done by tbls farmer sin
gle banded. He bas combined the
work of the experiment stations and
the farm, ana to Mm is due the suc
cess of farming on the Kenal. Now
the- railroad has come to him, and be
can ship his products In to Seward,
even across the sound to Cordova and
Vuldez, and he Is well to do.
Fought Twenty Hours a Day.
But the trials und tbe light of tbose
early days, when he was wrostllug
twenty hours of a summer day and
eight hours of a winter twilight with
a rough, scuiiurctic country, pushing a
clumsy, homemade cultivator by hand
and smiling cheerfully, will not soon
fade, nor will the days when eighteen
hours of yellow sunlight brought tbe
seeds rushing (.0 the surface and ma
tured them in five necks. Those were
the momeuts when he saw the things
the future held. And he's not goiug
to sell out and go back to Sweden.
He's going to slick ou the Job. It's
his home now. ami lie sees the time
In .ten years no. live when he will
have farmer neighbors all about him
and the rich soil will be working for
the men who cuu conquer it.
Up In the Tuiinnn valley and in the
Copper river and the Susltnu, too,
farmers ure following the track of Ole
Martin, the niau who farmed and mude
it go through alouo.
