STATE TROOPER INVESTIGATES SPEED,
NEGLIGENCE AS CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
High speed and negligent |
driving were the apparent I
causes of two highways acci
dents near here according to
the preliminary investigation
of State Trooper Howard C.
Luther.
About 4 a.m. Monday a con
vertible with a Ft. Richardson
sticker rolled over at a sharp
curve in the Glenn highway
near Mile 39*4. The occupants
of the car had gone by the time
the trooper reached the scene.
Re impounded the damaged
car.
Sunday evening a sports car
overturned near the junction of
Big Lake and Willow roads.
Jim Tom Sanders of Mile 124
Seward highway was uncon
scious when Trooper Luther
came upon the accident while
making a routine patrol thro
ugh the area. Sanders, a pas
senger in the car driven by
Phillip F. Riley Jr. of Spenard,
regained consciousness quickly
and both men appeared unhurt.
NO REGRETS
Be careful what you say —
even the wise old owl hoots at
the wrong time occasionally.

^ QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: I have heard
that every so often you should
check your social security ac
count. Why is this necessary
for a fisherman when he re
ports his own earnings for so
cial security credit?
ANSWER: It is just as im
portant for a fisherman and
other self-employed business
men to check their social secur
ity account at least once every
three years as it is for wage
earners. Even though a fisher
man submits his own reports
of earnings for social security
credits, errors may occur which
will result in his not receiving
proper credit for his earnings.
It is important that you receive
proper credit for all your earn
ings as your future social se
curity benefits are determined
by your average earnings un
der social security.
QUESTION: My 62 birthday
will be on September 14th, and
I will be retired by my employ
er on October 1. When I apply
for my social security, what
should I bring with me?
ANSWER: You should bring
proof of your age. If you do not
have proof of your age, some
old document with your age or
date of birth on it recorded
prior to 1937. W’rite your So
cial Security office for some
suggested places you may
write. Also, it will help speed
up action on your claim if you
bring your copy of your 1961
Form W-2, which shows how
much you were paid last year.
And, do not forget your social
security card!
QUESTION: I’m going to be
married this month. Do I need
to notify social security that I
have done so.
ANSWER: You should take
your account number card to
your nearest social security of
fice. You will be given another
card with your new name but
with the same number you al
ready have.

FIELD TRIAL OF GRASS-LEGUME
SEEDING STARTED ON KELLOGG FARM
The first field trial in Alaska
of alternate-row seeding of
grass and legume was reported
this week by Cliff Marcus of
the Soil Conservation Service.
A 12-acre field was seeded re
cently on Louise Kellogg’s
Spring Creek farm, a cooper
ator with the Palmer Soil Con
servation Subdistrict.
Experience has shown that
some legumes and grasses grow
well together and some do not.
By using alternate row seed
ing, hard-to-start legumes and
those that don’t compete too
well with grasses grow in their
own row. Given more space,
legumes get off to a good start
and keep on growing right be
side neighboring rows of grass.
Siberian yellow blossomed al
falfa (Medicago falcata) is one
legume here that is very slow
and can't compete against
brome too well in field plant
ings. %
The trial of Siberian alfalfa
and brome was put in after the
field had been manured heav
ily, disked, harrowed, fertilized
and cultipacked. Fertilizer was
applied at the rate of 240 lbs of
11-48 per acre and 130 lbs of
50'<- Sulphate of Potash per
acre. A drill was used and each
hole was blocked off with card
board held in place with mask
ing tape. Alfalfa seed at the
rate of 4 lbs. per acre was mix
ed with 16 lbs. of rice hulls and
poured into every other com
partment. Brome grass at the
rate of 8 lbs. per acre was mix
ed with 16 lbs. of rice hulls and
put in the opposite holes. The
drill was set for 160 lbs. of bar
ley per acre. A Cultipacker was
pulled behind the drill.
The purpose of the rice hulls
is to act as a carrier for the
seed and to get through the
drill openings. By using rice
hulls any seed mixture can be
seeded with the drill.
Alternate row seeding takes
a little more time and effort
than ordinary seedings, but if
the trial works out it may
prove beneficial to help estab
lish a legume with grass which
might otherwise be crowded
out in ordinary field seedings
The Payoff
Every state should go on
daylight saving time — it’s
about all people can save now
adays.
