Reed’s Dairy
Plan Approved *
Members of the Valley dairy
men’s association, who met with
Dr. O. E. Reed on Monday, chief
of the bureau of dairy indus
try, unanimously agreed to adopt
Dr. Reed’s outlined program of
herd improvement here.
Dr. Reed said 40 members of
the dairy industry here had ex
pressed themselves in favor of
the plan. A register of cows for
the herd improvement project
listed 417 animals. The owners
said that figure would probably ^
reach 600 by spring.
According to the plan outlined
a week earlier by Dr. Reed, the
dairyman can borrow, through
Dr. Reed’s help, two proved
bulls from the Department of
Agriculture for use in thq Val
ley. These animals will be used
in an artificial insemination
project.
In return for the loan of the
bulls, farmers must keep re
quired records for the Depart
ment of Agriculture. They also
must agree to finance the cost
of the project and to pay for the
upkeep of the imported animals.
The plan is best worked out
through some sort of co-opera
tive organization, Dr. Reed said.
Valley dairymen thought it
might be administered through
the already-functioning dairy
man’s association here.
Both a Red Dane and a Hol
stein bull will be requested from
the Department of Agriculture.
Dr. Reed expressed himself
as greatly pleased with the co
operative attitude of the Val
ley's dairymen. "It was much
more than I had hoped for,"
he staled. "The dairy farmers
agreed to everything I asked v
them to do without a dissent
ing voice. To meet with such
unanimity of opinion has
made my visit here doubly
pleasant."
Dr. Reed is soon to leave the
Valley to return to his head
quarters in Washington, D. C.

St. John’s congregation was
organized in 1937 following a
survey among the Matanuska
Valley colonists made by the
Rev. W. F. Georg, superintend
ent of missions of the Oregon
Washington district of the Luth
eran church, Missouri Synod,
and by President F. M. L. Nitz
of the same district. #Services
were first held in a log building
in North Palmer. When land
was granted to the Lutherans by
the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation »
Corp., a new church was erect
ed near the school building by
the men of the congregation
from a dismantled dormitory
moved from Eska.
St. John’s first pastor was the
Rev. R. W. Frieling who served
the congregation for a short
time. Pastor M. Zschocke con
tinued the work, followed by
the Rev. W. F. Georg, who
served temporarily, and the Rev.
W. Kurth. Pastor Zeile has
been with the congregation since
July, 1945.
Through the years the church
has grown and now numbers al
most 50 communicants and 78
souls. The voting body compris
es 12 members, with Mr. Ed *
Eedeck as chairman, Mr. E.
Harrington as vice-chairman,
Mr. J. L. Ray as secretary, and
Mr. Alba Brooks as treasurer.
