CO-OP I'lOTES
WAREHOUSE
The Warehouse management informs us that
they rill not hold any seed or fertilizer
after Juno 1, 1948. Duo to the extreme
shortage and heavy demand for 3eed and fer
tilizer this year, no orders rill bo held
in tha rarchousc after the above date.
Darrell Trank, Tosc Mgr.
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Despite a slor start it nor appears that >
the Co-op should anc. '--ill have a good year 1
for the Vegetable and Potato rrorers. The j
organization of the ‘prorors is raking good;
head’-ay. llonbors arc shoring more inter
est every day. The questionairo stating
the amount of products to be grora is beinf
filled out and as seeding time"arrives a !
lot of interest is in evidence.
A preliminary bid mas presented to the Army
officials in I'jxt P.ichardson last Priday. j
The Amy officials indicated that even
no re stuff -ill be - '-art d if it can bo j
produced, Horevor. tho final amount ranted
and the formal bid ■•ill not be riven out
until sometire early in July, Army appro
print ions ar not available until duly for
the next fiscal year. 7Ms may influence
the total amounts \'anted.
Tho question as tovhich comes first, the
egg or the chicken, doesn’t bother us much,
as rc no" knor that the egg must come firrtj
Airborne eggs are giving us a tough tine. J
No doubt a major decision rill have to be !
made‘on ■ hat to do about the price of eggs
soon. Tiie cut in tho price of feed nay not
help much if re Vave to cut tho price of
eggs to meet comet it ion in Anchorage.
No doubt, most of you have noticed that the
nor boilers are here and that they have
been unloaded. The next order of business
rill be to get the-old boilers out ’"ithout
disrupting service. Plans are being formu
lated for this rork, and re hope to -have
the no" boilers ih and rorking before cold
rcatHor next fall. Brick is available in
Anchorage nor, and re are promised that re
can get all that re need as soon as no can
use then.
