in FYance as the International

from Alaska.
Speaking before the Kiwanis

students and the Homemakers’
Council this week, Miss Sproul il

taken during her four month stay
in Prance. Her talks followed
many given in Anchorage, Homer,
Juneau and Ketchikan. Miss
Sproul left the Valley January
14 for Fairbanks where she will
resume her teaching work.
While in France, Miss Sproul

NEW RED CLOVER
RELEASED TO FARMERS
“Alaskland,” a new mammoth
red clover variety, is to be re
leased to Alaska farmers this
spring according to the Agronomy
Department of the Alaska Agri
cultural Experiment Station. The
new variety is the first hardy le
gume to be released to Alaskan
farmers by the Experiment Sta
tion. It consistently has survived
in excellent stands at the Fair
banks Station and has given satis
factory survival in most tests con
ducted at the Matanuska Station.
Origin of the new variety is not
definitely known, but it is be
lieved to trace to three lots of
seed sent to Alaska In 1929 which
the Bureau of Plant Industry of
the United States Department of
Agriculture obtained from Russia,
rhese strains survived the winter
at Fairbanks but were never in
creased and released to farmers.
Several years ago increase was
begun at the Fairbanks Experi
ment Station and two years ago
foundation seed was sent to the
state of Washington for further
ncrease.
About 1,000 pounds of seed are
available for distribution this
spring and plans are being made
:°r a continuing supply. Farm
ers wishing to purchase seed
ihould write the Agronomy De
lartment, Alaska Agricultural
experiment Station, Palmer, Alas

Palmer.
Alaskland red clover should be
seeded on a firm seedbed at 8
pounds per acre in a mixture with
10 pounds of smooth bromegrass
or 4 pounds of timothy and cov
ered to a depth of Va to 1 inch.
A nurse crop of barley seeded at
about 80 pounds per acre should
be used. The barley should be
harvested when mature, leaving
a stubble about 10 to 12 inches
high. The stubble is of great im
portance in holding snow for pro
tection from winter winds in the
Matanuska Valley.
