LETTER TO'THE EDITOR
Homier Hews
Horrnr, Alaska
Gentleman:
The following will be of
interest to your readers :in
the. Territory who operate
radio facilities licensed
by this Commission to com
municate with the stations
of the Alaska Communications
System,
It becomes necessary to
have the frequency 2q86 for
an essential Pacific Aero
nautical Mobile Route Plan
which is being activated on
December i, 1954 on a world
wide basis«
Those stations which
have been authorized to use
this frequency, 2q86 kc, to
communicate with the Alaska
Communications System must
vacate the frequency on No
vember so, tqD4
Arrangement s have been
made to carry on all sched
ules and these stations
should request information
f^om the station of the Al
aska Communications System
with wh'ich they regularly
co-rrmuniaate as to f re quen
ches' to use in the interim
unti-.i a suitable replace
ment frequencyis available*
*: Very, truly yours,

GET LAUD READY NO,?
Farmers with virgin
grassland to break can
start non to get the land
ready for rototit ling«
For the best rototilling
job, the area should first
be burned and cleared of all
large stumps and windfalls*
This clearing can 'be done
before sever# cold starts*
Burning is usually done in
the Spring after most of the
Snow has gone, Then the
farmers can rototill as the
ground is ready, C« R%
Fahnestock, Agricultural
engineer, said today* Fahne
stock- is with the, Univer
sity of Alaska. Experiment
station, at Palmer, ..
Farmers who get rid of
this extra ground cover
find . their rototilling
-costs are less and they get
a better job done, Land
-breaking demonstrat ions were
held in the Homer area this
summer to show the differ
ence, Without rototilling,
ordinary farm implements
cannot break the heavy soa*
First demonstration was
on unburned,- -virgin grass
land owned by Lyons Monroe,
The tiller broke up six to
eight inches of vegetative
growth, but the tines could
not reach, through~the. growth
to topsoil« Fahnestock es
timated that rototilling
land such as Monroe 's cost
$50 an acre; = Burned-over
land could be broken for
approximately i2jf to is°*
Kenai Peninsula men saw the
difference when the rote
tiller was-moved from Mon
roe's farm to burned-over
land owned by the Nelson
brothers, On the Nelson's
farm, the tiller went down
through several inches of
topsoil as well as the sur
face cover.
The rototiller used was
a six-foot, 125 horsepower
machine owned by Dan C*Bell
of Eagle River„ The tiller
could penetrate as deep as
nine inches« It .was. pulled
by a crawler tractor, Since
the rototiller weighs 6800
pounds supported on two six
inch tires, land to pe till
ed must be fairly dry and,
firm,
