SNOWBOUND
On Monday and Tuesday, 28 made the
grade and /ednesday found things
almost back to normal with 30 in.
Milk that did arrive was brought in
under extreme difficulty in many
cases. 10-gallon cans of milk were
carried over snow drifts to a place
where the milk truck could get*it.
oeveral farmers hooked their two
wheel trailers onto their tractors
and delivered their milk. They cut
across fi&las in order to avoid big
drifts. Eill ilecker,one of the dri
vers who picks up milk, reported on
• •ednesday that he could now ■ reach
nearly all of his customers, but had
j to do a lot of back-tracking.
I In the meantime, what have the farm
| ers done with their milk? Reports
i are that some farmers lost a good
xdeal of milk--one is said to have
, lost about 2000 lbs. Of course,they
tried to salvage as mush of it as
.they could by using it to feed live
stock, skimming off the cream and
•making butter, and nuking cottage
i cheese for their own use. But this
.still resulted in a big loss as they
'could have realized much more from
: the’ milk by selling it.
From '..'asilla stories have reached us
! on farmers’ difficulties in getting
‘feed for taeir chickens. A lerge
jsnowdrift mout 10.0 to 150 yards in
;length cut off the homesteaders on
;the Iliik road from ‘..asilla. One 3gg
iproducer ran cut of chicken feed end
jhad to pack feed across the drift.He
(borrowed feed in hasilla until he
jwas able to make it to Palmer on Sun
day. where he contacted Manager V/ilson
.of the Co-op who got four sacks of
;feed for him from the Warehouse. He
was able to drive as far as the big
drift where he ps.cked the feed across
jto his car.
pn Monday about a dozen men and boys
decided to ftig themselves out. By'
noon that day they had cut a road
■through the drift so that they could
get to town for supplies. Qne Jeep
(vas hauled across the drift on slabs
frt was reported.
