COUNCIL NOTES
Two members of the Valley
Hospital Association board of di
rectors, Allan Mick and Marvin
Slaughter, approached the City
Council on the possible annual
appropriation of $5,000 from city
sales tax collections to the Valley
Presbyterian Hospital. Slaughter,
who is president of the associa
tion, pointed out they were ap
pearing on behalf of the associa
tion membership, which by reso
lution at their last annual mem
bership meeting, asked that the
city make this appropriation.
In speaking to the Council
members, Slaughter and Mick
pointed out' that small hospitals
seldom pay’ for themselves . . .
‘“We appreciated the support
shown by the community, but it
is felt there should be some sup
port from the city,” they said.
As. chairman of the hospital’s
finance committee, Dr. Mick
pointed out that a deficit- of
some $35,000 has been worked
down to about $20,000. Of this
amount approximately $14,000 is
owed for water, electricity, and
for employment security tax.
He pointed out that if a set
amount of money could be ap
propriated annually, it would
strengthen the hospital’s request
to the Legislature for funds.
About $8,000 was raised in
the community during the past
year in sporadic drives. However,
it was felt, the men stated, that
such income should be set up on
a more permanent basis.
It was suggested that an appro
priation from the city could be
earmarked for a specific expen
diture.
City Attorney John Shaw
pointed out that territorial law
provides that a city has author
ity to care for indigent people of
the city.
In the absence of Mayor Ken
neth Lynn, Senior Councilman
William Zahradicek presided at
the meeting and reqeusted mem
bers of the finance committee to
consider the request and report
back to the council for further
discussions.
A request from the Palmer Ki
wanis Club to operate the city
owned lot near the fairgrounds
as a parking lot concession dur
ing the 1958 Valley Fair was
granted by the Council. Much of
the funds derived from this pro
ject is used by the Kiwanis Club
toward the development of a
city park in the hospital area.
A discussion on sewers- in the
city brought out that at the
present time the city does not
have sufficient pipe available for
installations that have been pro
posed to date and until a further
study is made it was voted to
put a hold-order on proceedings.
The first reading of a tax or
dinance which will amend Or
dinance No. 39 was made by the
city clerk.
A report on the progress of the
new water well indicated that
the well is going to be more than
satisfactory. Councilman Lan
caster stated that the District En
gineers office, where samples
and the well log are being stud
ied, are i well pleased with the
lift and the type water bearing
gravel. The new well will pro
bably settle the city's water
needs for a long time to come,
he’ added. A 30-foot screen has
beCh recommended by DE and a
.submersible type pump was sug
gested. The well is down to 626
feet, with 450 feet of water in
the well. The water tests at
about eight degrees warmer than
the present well and is softer.
Members of the water committee
were requested to study the type
pump necessary and make in
quiries from local suppliers on
costs and availability.
Bills approved for payment in
cluded $1,781.55 from the gen
eral fund and $6,930.04 from the
water fund.
iOlh Anniversary
Marks Big Progress
In Land Conservation
The Palmer Soil Conservation
Subdistrict is 10 years old this
year. The Subdistrict was creat
ed by the Alaska District Board
in June of 1948.
Ten years ago the first election
was held for five supervisors to
serve on the Subdistrict Board.
The first Board consisted of Lu
cius Ross, chairman; Clarence
Hoffman. secretary; 'William
Roark. Henry Jensen, and Clair
Patten, members. In August of
1948 the Board drew up a pro
gram and work plan to follow
to help conserve soil and water
in the Palmer Subdistrict. Three
months later a three-way mem
orandum of understanding was
signed between the Alaska Dis
trict, the Palmer Subdistrict,
ad the Soil Conservation Service.
This memorandum was signed
because the Subdistriet asked the
Soil Conservation Service for
technical assistance in carrying
out their program and work plan.
The Subdistrict was formed to
provide an organization of farm
ers who, through cooperation and
organization could better solve
their problems of: wind erosion,
irrigation, low fertility, low per
centage of cleared agricultural
.land per farm, lack of adapted
crop plants (especially hardy le
gumes), lack of proper seedbed,
preparation, proper crop rota
tion, weed control, inadequate
surface drainage, high cost of land
clearing, and unstable marketing
conditions.
me auDaismci nas lateen ieau
ership in these problems and
others in carrying out their pro
gram and work plan. Technical
assistance, equipment not gener
ally in use by farmers in the
Subdistrict, and such other as*
sistance has been sought to carry
out the plans.
Great progress has been noted
towards soil conservation in the
Subdistrict. There was only a
limited acreage of perennial
grass when the Subdistrict was
created; now there are well over
2,000 acres of perennial grass for
hay, silage, and pasture. Most of
the land used for potatoes in er
osion hazard areas has been tak
en out and seeded to perennial
grass crops. Potatoes are still
grown, but more favorable loca
;ions are being used. Great pro
gress has been noted in clearing
and. Today there are over 10,000
teres of land cleared and farm
?d in the Subdistrict.
Streambank control is being
lone on the Matanuska River and
n the future, work will be need- j
>d on creek aligning on Wasilla, ]
Cottonwood, and other creeks.
Slow but sure gains are being
made toward getting irrigation
on the land. The need for irriga
tion water is becoming more and
more of a necessity as more land
is opened up. The use of sup
plemental irrigation may help
bring a crop through dry periods
[ which otherwise might fail.
The Alaska Agricultural Ex
i periment Station has supported
the Subdistrict in its efforts to
put farm development on a
sounder basis. The support has
been carried on through studies
of fertilizer requirements, de
velopment of new grass and grain
varieties, and other experimental
work. The Extension Service has
also been a great help in getting
information on new developments
out to the farmers.
Work of the Soil Conservation
Service has provided soil survey
information, engineering planning
for field lay-out of irrigation, and
| assistance to farmers in planning
conservation practices such as
I rotation of crops to improve the
organic content of the soil. Much
time has been spent in the study
uof wind erosion proDlems. As the
second 10 years of conservation
subdistrict work starts steps
have been taken to provide
planting material for windbreaks
t© supplement the protection giv
en by grass crops.
‘*The subdistrict has made
considerable progress toward the
solution of some of our prob
lems”, said L. M. DePriest, presi
dent of the board of supervisors.
‘■“There is much yet to be done
and we are beginning to rdhlize
that conservation of soil and
water is a continuing job that
will remain with us and that any
carelessness in the use of crop
land can be very costly”, he ad
ded.
Some of the problems upon
which satisfactory progress has
not been made include the man
agement of pastures and hay land.
“The winter kill of 1956-57 may
be in part a result of the after
math grazing of hayland and
over-utilization of pastures. We
believe that the matter of winter
kill of grasses needs very care
ful study to determine how much
of this hazard can be eliminated
by management.
“Our first 10 years have been
a struggle to get on our feet but
we hope to see the next 10 years
show just as big an accomplish
ment as the past 10 years. Irriga
tion will be the coming thing in
the future and also drainage of
wet ground for future crop pro- j
Auction.

Gut Worms Doing
Considerable Damage
Cut worms are the most active
and destructive in the Matanuska
Valley than they have been in
several years, according to Dr.
Richard Washburn of the Alaska
Agriculture Experiment Station.
The species doing most of the
damage in the vicinity of Palmer
i is the redrback cut worm,
Euxoa ochrogaster. This is the
same species responsible for most
of the trouble in outbreaks in
1951, 1949, and 1943. Although
there are about 50 species of cut
worms in this area, only about
five have proved to be destructive
to cultivated crops, Dr. Washburn
stated. •*
The cut worms doing most of
the damage in some areas near
Anchorage is another species
which is black with gold-colored
spots on its back. It has the habit
of not only feeding on and below
soil surface but also climbs up
shrubs and houses. The red-back
cut worms feed primarily below
the surface.
Now that the soil is moist, it
is an excellent time to treat
with insecticides, among which
are aldrin, chlordane, D-DT. hep
tachlor, toxaphene, and others.
Most of the cut worms in the
Butte area are small, Dr. Wash
burn reported, so they may be
expected to feed for several
weeks or more. Bands of insect
cide should be placed around the
infected area first, he suggested.
A field which has bare spots
should be sprayed on the portion
still having plants as the ejjt
worms have already left the bare
spots for additional food.
of Agriculture for the help they
have given us in the past and
solicit their continued contribu
tion to the solution of our pro
blems of soil and water conserva
tion,” the board president stated.
The present board of supervi
j sors is composed of L. M. De
j Priest, chairman; Victor F&lk,
I Jr., secretary; William Lentz,
' Byron Anderson, and Henning
Blunck, meinbers.
