NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
Lew E. Hanks,
District Agricultural Agent
Well, our second Farm Forum
is now history. In spite of the
wind and the fact that a lot of the
roads were blocked. I thought at
tendance was very good. Our
Short Course in Dairy Manage
ment starts next Tuesday after
noon at the Extension office in
Palmer. We hope you can attend.
Discussion at the Farm Forum
pointed up on an important item.
Alaska is relatively free of dis
ease, insect and weed pests. Pro
bably a lot of them have been
right for them to get a start. We
will not alwrays continue to be
so lucky. We have had at least
three slight infestations of Can
adian Thistle in the past. If it
ever gets a good start here we
have really had it. There is al
ways a possibility of it coming
here in hay or feed. Jim Wilson,
Commissioner of Agriculture, is
asking each of us to report any
infestations we find to the Ter
ritorial Department of Agricul
ture or the Extension Service. We
want to keep that pest stamped
out. It’s bad enough fighting
chickweed, lambsquarter, quack
grass and mustard. I don’t want
to fight Canadian thistle too.
