To Test New Markets
For Alaska Berries
New markets for Alaska's
wild berries will be tested in
1956, according to H. P. Gaza
way, economist at the Alaska
Agricultural Experimnt Station.
Lingerberries—Alaska’s wild low
bush cranberry—will be air-ship
ped from the Kokhonak Bay re
gion, he said.
The venture was first tried in
1954 and repeated in 1955. The
berries sold from 49 to 69 cents a
pound with pickers receiving 30
to 45 cents a pound, providing
Bristol Bay Natives with a^nuch
needed source of income.
Mrs. Denton R. Moore, wife of
the U. S. Commissioner at Kok
honak Bay, took charge at the
shipping point, advising pickers
on shipping time and condition
requirements, pricing, and pack
aging. Pacific Northern Airlines
offered special air freight rates
and pick-up service. Carr’s Food
Centef in Anchorage halped with
pricing, display, and merchandis
ing. Home Demonstration Agents
of the University of Alaska Ex
tension Service provided public
ity and recipes.
“This is a prime example of
producers, retailers, and govern
ment specialists working together
to create an Alaskan industry,”
Gazaway said.
“The possibility of selling ling
enberries in exclusive food spec
ialty stores in the States is being
investigated,” he said. “A Seat
tle store of this type will market
a demonstration shipment next
season.
“Experiments with linger
berry ice cream will also be
made. Preliminary tests show
that such a unique, Alaskan pro
duct might be developed which
could have wide appeal, especial
ly during the Thanksgiving and
Christmas seasons.
Experiment Station researches
will experiment with wild berry
harvesting methods next sum
How Can I H
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. What can I use as a sub- ;
stitute for vinegar, for salad j
dressing?
A. Try using the vinegar from
preserved pickles, instead of ordi
nary vinegar, for salad dressing;
it gives a delicious flavor. Lemon
juice is also an excellent substi
tute for vinegar.
Q. How can I remove burnt i
stains from aluminum?
A. These stains can be remov- i
ed from aluminum, or any un- j
soldered vessel of tin, by placing j
the empty vessel over the gas 1
flame or fire until it is red hot.
Q. How can I make a cement
for a cracked stove?
A. Use equal parts of wood
mer. Dr. Richard Foley, Station
horticulturist, believes that the
cranberry scoop and a small port
able cleaning machine will speed
up picking and cleaning of lin
genberries, reducing the retail
price to 25 to 40 cents per pound.
Arrangements have been made
with F. L. McConkey, ANS tea
cher at Sleetmute, for the experi
mental marketing of a Native
gathered shipment of wild blue
berries next summer.
‘‘We have an excellent natural
resource in Alaska’s wild ber
ries,” said Gazaway. "We need a
home industry to supply income
to residents in areas where the
berries flourish. By working to
gether on the problem I believe
that we can develop a plan that
will benefit everybody concerned
—our rural people, city retailers,
consumers.”
OMMERCIAL • PERSpNAL
ashes and salt and make into a
paste with cold water. Fill into
the cracks when the stove is cold
Q. How can I relieve tired
feet?
A. Soak for about twenty min
utes in warm water, to which has
been added baking soda, sea salt,
or epsom salts. Dry thoroughtly
and dust with talcum powder, es
pecially between the toes.
Q. How can I keep orange»
for any length of time?
A. If oranges are bought in
quantities they will keep better
and longer if wrapped in tissue
paper, so that they do not touch
each other.
Q. How can I make filled
grapefruit?
A. Filled grapefruit can be
made by cutting the fruit evenly
and removing all the pulp and
juice. Fill the shells with pieces
of grapefruit, diced strawberries,
and fresh pineapple.
Q. How can I make starch
ed clothes glossy?
A. A teaspoonful of salt
should be added to the starch
when making it. It will give a
gloss to the clothes and they will
be much easier to iron.
Q. How can I soften mucilage
that has dried in the bottle?
A. Pour in a little vinegar, let
it stand for a few hours, and it
will soften the mucilage.
Q. How can I clean bronze?
A. Dust the soiled bronze thor
oughly. Then rub with a soft
cloth dampened in sweet oil. Rub
dry with another soft cloth and
polish with chamois. Vaseline
jelly can also be used success
fully in place of oil.
Q. How can I remove stains on
china?
A. A little salt will usually re
move stains from fine china.
