this week.

tension circular “Fruits for Alas

ka Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion. “Fruits for Alaska” include
tree fruits and dual purpose
fruits such as cherries and June

plan for a 12 by 14-foot green
house from their district exten

Since there is a demand for help
with greenhouse construction,
the Extension Strvice is making
these plans available without

Works for you...
on the road or off!
The ‘Jeep’ Truck is time-tested and performance-proved.
It works for you 365 days a year, because it’s designed to
handle the toughest assignments while taking the ordinary
ones in stride. With the extra traction of its 4-wheel
drive it goes—with a payload of over a ton - up steep grades,
through mud, sand, snow or soft earth, where other trucks
can’t go. Then, for highway speeds it shifts quickly into con*
ventional 2-wheel drive. With power take-off, it supplies
mobile power for many types of machinery for business or
farm. It’s America’s lowest priced 4-wheel drive truck.
