OLE MARTIN'S HEROIC STORY Miles From Any Human Being, He Broke the Land With a Hand Culti vator and Won With Hie Nerve and Bralne Ole't Experience With PoUto Crowing. This Is the story of a farmer who won because lie had nerve and under standing enough tu sit dowu ou his land and tight It out to a Mulsh, a farmer who had never heard of the word discouragement and whose only definition of failure was t tut t II meant "try aiialn a little harder;" also It Is the title of a mini w ho farmed as much with his head as he did nltu Ills hands, and he did an enormous amount of work with those latter. Ills name not that It matter particularly-! Ole Martin, and six yotw ago he drifted Into these I'lilled Stale from Sweden, where he had been funn ing In rocky and exhausted land for fifteen years. Six toon tin after his arrival at New York lie was In Alaska, and six month after that he had a few acres of laud on the Keual peninsula. Then he began to farm. There were no iiclglihors-not then, at least, for It wa not until Inter that a taciturn Scot sat down a short dislauce away ami begnn to farm on his own ac count Had No Dogs or Horses. The location wa three and a half miles north of the new town of Sew ard, and there wa uo railroad; also there were no horse and at Hrst not even a dog, so supplies bad to be "packed" In. A man who has never carried sixty to a hundred Huiiid uu his back' over rough, unbroken coun try can only Imagine that. Ground had to be broken and cleared. Then It bad to be prepared for sowing, aud the old methods of Sweden and the I'tilted States even were useless. Mar tin began with potatoes and failed, ills result were watery caricature of the potato of commerce. He had got his seeds from Seattle, and be tried again and failed again. Then he began to furm w ith his head, lie pro ceeded to educate bis Kilatucs and tench them to grow reieetnbly. This could only be doue by growing nd re- seeding. Koou be had real potatoes and beguu to sell them. Cultivation was a problem, for with out tool It wa dlmViilt. Martin olr ed this problem, however. In his owu patient way. He built himself a baud uiuchlue and pushed It himself with prudlgou labor, l-ater. when be had secured a dog team, he broke them to haul the cultivator. It wa a severe task, for he wns alone. There wa uo hired mnn-Just le himself and the dogs. Decided on Garden Truck. Finding himself so close to a grow ing community. Martin saw that In garden prialuce there would be a mar ket, and he et to put aouio seven acres under cultivation. In nenrly all bis work he had trouble with his seeds. Those from the States would not grow well In a soil where there were HO Inches of rainfall In a year, and so he bad to educate his turnip, his cauli flower, carrots, cabbages and the ret to grow In damp soli. The government maintains experi ment stations, but these were nnd aro too few; also they nre only experiment stations, and the reul work must bo doue by the real farmer. Martin went through It nil. and he built in log house, burn and outbuildings, lie cuts bis hay-tons of It Ly hand and ricks It alone, lie Buds time for flowers, aud these are his amusements. He built an Inciibntcir and Is raising chick ens nnd Is bousing them In a log bouse equipped with n stove. Every hit of work on the plneo every Inst tup has been donu by this farmer sin gle handed. He bus combined the work of the experiment stations and the farm, and to bin) Is due tho suc cess of farming on the Konnl. Now the railroad has como to him. and he enn ship bis products In to Seward, even across the sound to Cordova and Valdez, and he Is well to do. Fought Twenty Hour s Dsy. But the trials and the light of thoso early days, when he wns wrestling twenty hours of n summer duy and eight hours of a winter twilight with a rough. Kciuiiirctic country, pushing a clumsy, homemade cultlvitlor by hand and smiling cheerfully, will not soon fade, nor will the days when eighteen hours of yellow sunlight brought the seeds rushing to the surface and ma tured them In live weeks. Those were the moments when he snw the things the future held. Ami he's not going to sell out nnd go back to Sweden, lie's going to stick on tho Job. It's his home now. and ho seen the time In ten years no. five when bo will have farmer neighbors all about blm und the rich soil will be working for tho men who can conquer It.
