POTATOES NEEDED
Tho Co-op is entirely out of potatoes and
needs No. 1 potatoes to fill orders in tho
next two days and throughout tho next wook,
Wo have grading and storage facilities
now reedy to take care of all potatoes in
the Valley. Bring your potatoes in as
soon as possible. Top prices can bo assur
ed for No, 1 grado.
The truck now goes to Anchorage'on Mondays
Wednesdays and Fridays at 6 a.m. We would
like to have produce picked accordingly so
that wo can receive it hero in time to
make the truck and not'have to bo held ovcj
for any length of time. It would bo'ap
prccited if farmers could contact Mr.Stacy
in advanco before bringing Tin tho produco.
It can be handled so much more efficiently
if this is done.

( SETTER DELAYED FOR A TIME.
buc to the fact that the boat carrying a
meh nccdod supply of conent for rail points
did not unload the cement until its return
trip ^"‘’'■bhe’wost, much camont construction
eras delayed. Tho Falmor Public Utility
Corporation.was among those affected. About
500 to 600 sower pipe has boon dolivorod by
Krause & Co, but rather than work n few
days and wait for more pipe, it was thought
best to wait until‘work could proceed un
hampered by delays.
Companies ongaged in tho making of eemont
blocks, sowor pipe otc. had to wait threo
uoclss for the cement to come back from tho
west.
The sower ^ino is being financod by the
Corporation and the Matanuska Valley
Farmers Cooperating Association. Each is
putting up one-half tho cost of instal
