Former Valley Residents
Gel Together in Ohio
A visit from an old friend and
Alaskan Statehood were the
prompting agents of a note from
former valley residents, the
George Whetstones now living in
Columbus, Ohio.
Mr. Whetstone writes that his
wife, Clare, paid a visit to Helen
Crites who is living in Bluffton,
Ohio and brought Virginia back
to spend some vacation time with
daughter Anne. The Crites’ are
also former Palmerites.
“Alaskan Statehood has gen
erated a lot of publicity here
and I certainly feel that state
hood will help Alaska get ahead,”
says George.

FARM PRODUCTION REPORT
FROM DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE
Milk
Milk production in the Matan
uska Valley - Anchorage area
milkshed increased 7.3% during
June. This is an increase of 4.2%
over June of 1957. At the pres
ent railbelt production exceeds j
bottled milk requirements.
Potatoes
Movement of local potatoes
has slowed down due to better
quality and lower prices of state
side supplies. Military consump
tion has also decreased this past
[month. Heavy losses have occur
ied in the Tanana Valley due to
lack of proper storage. There re
mains in the Matanuska Valley
Anchorage area sufficient volume
in good storage to supply the
demand in all areas with some
surplus.
Lettuce
The first supplies of lettuce
moved into both the Fairbanks
and Anchorage markets last
week. Military shipments started
the 21st of July. Early plantings
are being hit hard by slime and
tipburn. Total acreage appears to
be smaller than last year with
practically none in the Tanana
Valley.
Cabbage
The first cuttings of cabbage
were made last week and an am
ple supply will be available
shortly.
