Valley Vitamins
May Be Subject
Of Research Study
Miss Christine Heller, nutri
tionist with the territorial de
partment of health, was in
Palmer last week to discuss with
Don Irwin, head of Alaskan ex
perimental stations, the possi
bility of establishing a vitamin
and nutrition research project.
Some type of nutrition pro
ject is now a part of plans for
the University of Alaska. An
attempt is being made to secure
funds for the work. If a fund
can be established through priv
ate sources, the project will be
carried on at the University.
However, Mr. Irwin said it
was his hope that a Federal re
search laboratory might be set
in the Valley. He hopes to dis
cuss the matter with members
of the Department of Agricul
ture in Washington, D. C.
Alfred Edgar, agricultural en
gineer, has been drawing plans
for such a project, at the request
of Mr. Irwin.
Irwin Soon Away
To Washington
Don L. Irwin, director of Al
askan experiment stations, plans
to leave next week for Wash
ington, D. C. Mr. Irwin will
spend two weeks in the Capital,
where he will confer with De
partment of Agriculture officials
with regard to work in agricul
tural research for the territory.
Mr. Irwin hopes to make a de
tailed announcement of planned
research projects for Alaska
upon his return.
He also expects to go to Mich
igan, there to inspect work of
the dairy industry. Michigan
farmers are conducting experi
mental research with the im
ported Red Dane cattle, of
which Dr. O. E. Reed spoke
so favorably while here.
