NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
Notes gfrom your extension ser
By Lew E. Hanks
The first meeting of the Dairy
Short Course being held at the
Extension office had an excel
lent attendance. Next week the
schedule is “Raising Dairy' Heif
ers" at 1:30 p.m. March 20, and
“Pasture Management” on March
22.
Speaking of pastures. I have
a progress report from the Ex
periment Station on irrigating 1
brome grass. This is a progress i
report on’^y. based on one year’s
study. It does indicate however.!
that irrigation might help us a
lot in increasing future pasture
yields. Last year's results show
an increase of 41*^ more grazing
on irrigated over non irrigated
brome grass. I believe that sev- ,
eral years averaegs may show a
lot more than that. Last summer j
was not a very dry warm sea- !
son.
To get on to another subject j
entirely, we have a new bulletin
available by Dr. Babb and Foley
on “Green House Management". {
It gives the clear scoop when it j
comes to raising greenhouse pro- I
duee sn Alaska. We also have
another one available on build- j
ing an inexpensive pole type con- )
struction greenhouse. With these i
two bulletins, a little money and j
the abiltiy to use your back and
your head, you can be in green- j
house production easy. Better>
come in and look tl\em over. That .
part is easy.

B7 Joann Hanson
In 1907 she was a lively,
brown-eved librarian at Kansas
State College. He was a hard
working assistant in the agricul
tural department. When they
were considering job changes, the
librarian said to her fiance, “You
know, I think it would be fun t<»
go to Alaska.” Thus ended a
twelve-year engagement and be
gan a life of pioneering in the
Northland.
In a few months Mr. and Mrs.
M. D. Snodgrass arrived in Ko
diak. where Mr. Snodgrass work
ed with the Experimental Station
located on the island. After a ten
year stay they were transferred
to Fairbanks. Here Mr. Snod
grass did further agricultural re
search and for a time sponsored
a flour mill.
Six years later the family came
to the Matanuska Valley where
Mr. Snodgrass became the head
of the Experimental Station, the
site of ■which he had earlier sel
ected and laid out. Mrs. Snod
gras taught school her first year
in the Valley and recalls that she
had about 35 students, some of
whom came from neighboring
communities. Three came from
Palmer. Mrs. Snodgrass believes
the school at Matanuska to be
the first consolidated school in
Alaska.
Mr. Snodgrass joined the De- !
partment of Interior six years j
later and traveled throughout the j
States as an agent for The Al- [
aska Railroad, publicizing Alas- j
kan opportunities. The couple re- j
turned to the Matanuska Valley
in 1933, this time settling in Pal-]
mer. At that time the town of 1
Palmer had only a small depot j
for the freight train that ran to j
Jonesville and a roadhouse oper- 1
ated by the White brothers.
Of the many changes that have j
come since, Mrs. Snodgrass felt ,
electricity had done the most to j
help the fanners. Milking by j
hand in a lantern’s light was no j
easy task, she said, and fires from .
broken lanterns were not uncom- j
mon. Grade A dairy farms, which :
were installed to meet Army re- ;
quirements, have brought uni- i
formly high standards to the Val- ]
lev.
Most important, however, is!
the changed attitude toward agri- j
culture. "Farming was ridiculed
when we fi~st came. Most every
one thought it impossible,’’ Mr. j
Snodgrass remembers. Novi? it is j
generally accepted as not only!
possible, but profitable.
Mr. Snodgrass’s many services
to the community include found

KOREAN VETERANS WARNED
OF INSURANCE DEADLINES
Vetreans of the Korean and.
post-Korean conflict period are
losing valuable GI insurance
rights because they are filing ap
plications for special five-year
term policies four months after
s paration, instead of within 120
days.
The law grants only 120 days
in which to apply for this non
convertible term policy without
medical examination, the Veter
ans Administration warned.
“One hundred and twenty
days”, explained a VA spokes
man, “can be and usually is, less
than four months. So, when a
Korean or post-Korean veteran
counts on a four-month leeway
and thus files his application one,
tw*o or three days late, he cannot
be granted insurance under the
law.”
Not only must the application.
for this special five-year non
convertible term policy be filed
with VA within the 12(>-daj’ peri
od after separation, but the first
premium must be paid within the
same period, VA emphasized.
A longer period of time in
which to apply is granted to Ko
rean or post-Korean veterans
who are found by VA to have
service - connected disabilities.
These veterans must apply with
in one year from date VA finds
their disabilities to be service
connected. Also, they must pass
a medical examination to show'
they are otherwise insurable ex
cept for their service-connected
disabilities, VA said.
This class of veteran also has
a wider choice of GI insurance
plans, the spokesman said. They
may apply for five-year term*
or any of the six permanent
plans of insurance.
Any VA contact office will be
glad to assist Korean and post
Korean veterans in applying for
the GI irsurance to which they
may be entitled.
Question of the Week:
Q. If a veteran dies during the
month of the grace period of his
GI assurance policy—without
having paid his premium for that
month — will his beneficiaries
still be able to collect the irisur
ance proceeds?
A. Yes. However, the amount
of the unpaid premium will be
deducted from the insurance pay
able.
of the two Granges in Alaska. He
also established the Matanuska
Valley Fair Association, of which,
he is the honorary “granddaddy".
He has served two terms in the
Territorial Legislature and is a
candidate in the coming primary
elections. He is a lifetime mem
ber of the Matanuska Valley
Chamber of Commerce.
The Snodgrasses have tw * sons,
Roland ar.d William, and three
daughters, Mrs. Margaret McCart
ney, Mrs, Agnes Reed, and Mrs.
Mary Hale. Four of the children,
live in the Valley. William, who
has a degree in veterinary medi
cine. is a lieutenant coionsl in
'•he U. S. Army. Roland is com
pleting work on his Ph.D. in
economic agriculture at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, Fifteen
granacmdren and one great
grandchild complete their family
group. Mr. Snodgrass celebrated
his 30th birthday March 13.
These charter residents of the
Valley feel the future for Palmer
is bright. They expect much ex
pansion and progress will be seen
in the next few yejars . . . and if
future residents have the same
frontier spirit, the same love for
the Valley that the Snodgrasses
have, we may rest assured it will.
