HAY HARVEST OF AT FLATS x /
< ...
About 4000 acres of.wild.hay
on the flats below Wasilla is be
ing attacked, by colonists who have
moved out there close to the work.
Tents loom white among the tree;
flanking Cottonwood Creek and the
early morning breeze carries the
appetizing odor of sizzling bacon
and frying Rainbows.
Farmers in groups of three and
four work together, cutting the
hay in twenty acre tracts. When
cured this hay will go into stacks
and will later be baled by a corp
oration crew after which it will
be trucked to the barns of those
who are now cutting.
There is more hay there than
will ever be cut this year, and
with that which covers the flats
below Matanuska it forms a valu
able natural resource.
