JUNE IS DAIRY MONTH
June is National Dairy
Month. We were reminded of
this fact this week by Jim
Wilson, territorial comnis
sioner of agriculture, who
wrote the following article
for the News:
’’June is National Tairy
Month and we in Alaska have
every right to join in the
celebration for dairying is
our principal agricultural
enterprise. It is no small
business either as the retail
value of Alaska*s fresh milk
approximates )3 million dol
lars * ii.dd to this the manu
factured products exceeding
million dollars in value
and it represents a consider
able contribution to Alaska’s
economy.
"Dairying is one farm en
terprise that is carried- on
in every community of any
size in Alaska. You in Homer
Have very capable representa
tion in this field in the Mc
* Laughlin family. Mr* and
Mrs. McLaughlin operate a
business that is accredit to
Homer and all Alaska.
"Dairying is an occupation
^that requires a "love of la
"bor." It is a 7-day-a-week,
12-hours-a-day operation
which requires ambition,
ability and a sizeable finan
cial investment in any com
munity.
"If there is any group in
Alaska that demonstrates its
faith in the future of our
Territory, it is our dairymen
for they have an average in
vestment of &50,000 per farm
and the type of investment
that is not easily liquidated
The McLaughlins have a
herd which is tested annually
for diseases that may be a
threat to .the community
health. Our tests have shown
their herd to be disease
free. The department of
health makes routine checks
of their product to assure
the community that their milk
supply is safe and sanitary.
"I would like to suggest
to you, Mr. Editor, that in
asmuch as this is dairy month
you bring to the public*s at
tention the fact that Homer
has a dairy worthy of mention
an asset to the community,
one of the type of industries
Alaska needs more of._"_
