report in Anchorage newspapers
which stated that ANS desired
to move its quarters from Juneau
to Anchorage, if office space
were available. Mr. Hagen wrote
that Palmer would construct a
$250,000 building here, if ANS
heads would consider making the
Matanuska Valley their head
quarters.
Mr. Hagen further reported
that he had visited Anchorage
in an attempt to interest Second
Assistant Postmaster General
Paul Aiken in an inspection of
the Valley post office. Mr. Hagen
talked with officials in the An
chorage post office, who recom
mended that a committee of Val- j
ley residents wait upon Mr. I
Aiken in Anchorage to state Val-'
ley needs.
The Chamber secretary point
ed out that it was possible Mr.
Aiken might render valuable aid
in obtaining construction of a
post office here, obtaining bet
ter mail service by train to the
Valley, and establishing a rural
free delivery mail service
throughout the Valley and along
the highways.

Soil Board Plans Work
r (Continued from Page 1)
tion of the type of agricultun
: for which that land is bes
j suited.
One survey already has beer
made of 317,000 acres in the
Matanuska Valley, to discover
l where the agriculturally suitable
land is located. The Soil Con
servation Service will be re
l quested to make similar surveys
: of other agricultural areas in
Alaska.
Publication of this and other
technically correct information
concerning agriculture in the
1 territory also will be one of the
major duties of the Soil Con
servation Board. The board ex
pects to work through the facili
ties of the Extension Service in
disseminating information.
Although Alaska has been
designated one soil district, the
territory will be broken down
into sub-districts in order that
local problems may be dealt
with individually. Mr. Wilson re
ports that a group of farmers in
the Anchorage area already have
requested that a sub-district be
! organized there. He expects
I more of these requests to be
forthcoming in the weeks ahead,
as the work of the Soil Conserva
tion Service becomes more fully
understood.
Under the long-range plan of
! ^e Soil Conservation Service,
technicians who work with the
j problems of the soil will be
I established in areas where their
[services are required. Mr. Wil
son said it is his intention to de
termine the need, and then to
request allotments of personnel
to fill that need. He said it is
probable that at least one soil
technician will be brought to
Alaska this year.
The conservationist explained
that his work carried out and
made practical the results of ag
ricultural research conducted at
experiment stations. “It is the
work of the Agricultural Re
search Administration to find
out what will grow here,” he
said. "It’s our job to make the
most practical use of what will
grow and to discover the type
of soil in which a particular seed
will grow best.”
