Good Weather
Helping Farmers
In Annual Harvests
Good weather for harvesting
has existed in all areas, with
very little rain falling during the
first half of September, it was
reported in the September 15 is
sue of Alaska Market News. Kill
ing frosts were not experienced
until September 15 in the Matan
uska Valley-Anchorage area, with
no frost reported in the Tanana
Valley as of that date.
Potato harvest in the Tanana
Valley is nearly completed, with
yields of five and one half tons
per acre running higher than ex
pected. In the local area, the po
tato harvest is well under way,
with farmers indicating lower
yields than last year.
The general quality of grain in
the valley is the best ever, the re

Alaska must look at its future

One day they’ll come to focus on a career — in
science... law... philosophy... medicine... engineering... the
arts.
To prepare our youth in these challenging times, help is needed as
never before say educators. Many companies are responding with
financial and other aid.
Standard long ago recognized its obligation as a good citizen to
help support our education system and for 20 years has encouraged
and assisted young minds to explore the wide field of learning.
Included in our program are scholarships, graduate fellowships in
engineering, science and business plus financial aid to university
departments concerned... projects in research... outright money
gifts to schools.
for example, we have helped a number of students attend college
in Alaska. In addition, a program of “learn by doing" kits, motion
pictures, film strips, booklets have been used and acclaimed by
teachers.
To thousands of Alaska children, the Standard School Broadcast has
long meant an opportunity to hear and enjoy good music. All of
these projects are continuing.
Worthwhile? We think so, because one of the most productive
investments is in human beings—those who in time to come will
take over responsibilities in industry and in our nation.
Besides contributions to the field of education,
here's how Standard serves Alaska today...
