ECONOMIST GATHERING
VALLEY FARM DATA
Each winter about this time,
farmers of the Matanuska Valley
are approached by a representa
tive from the Experiment Sta
tion’s Department of Agricultural
Economics. This year Richard An
drews, who came to Alaska this
past fall from Maine, will be the
farm management man and has
started his calls on local farmers.
He is continuing the economic
study of production practices,
farming methods and cost of pro
duction started by Hugh Johnson
and Clarence Moore three years
ago. The information gathered
will be used to aid farmers in
adjusting their farm businesses
for the greatest profits. Several
years of records are necessary be
fore variations caused by weath
er can be eliminated from the an
swers, Johnson said. Practices
that pay during a good year may
not be profitable over several
years, he pointed out.
Andrews will be calling on ad
ditional farmers throughout the
Valley during the next few weeks.
There will be a regular meeting
of Palmer chapter of W. C. T. U.
January 23 at the J. F. Davis
home in North Palmer at 8 p.m.
Everyone is welcome.
