Co-Op Has Feed
Aboard AR Barge
Two carloads of feed are en
route to Alaska and the Matan
uska Valley aboard an Alaska
Railroad barge, it was announc
ed last week by James Wilson,
manager of the Matanuska Val
ley Farmers Co-Operating Asso
ciation. Mr. Wilson said he was
confident the feed would arrive
here before any emergency de
velops.
Some concern has been ex
pressed locally over the shortage
of chickenfeed. However Mr. Wil
son denied the existence of any
actual shortage. Feed is rationed,
he explained, in order to make
existing stocks last.
The rationing is worked out on
a plan which allots feed on the
basis of need and on past pur
chases, he said, then added, “No
body has been turned down yet
that has been regularly buying
feed from the Co-op. We don’t
have enough to handle any out
side orders, but we do have suf
ficient to take care of our own
customers.”
Slaughter of some Valley flocks
has been reported. Personnel of
the Palmer Cold Storage & Lock
er Service say that at least two
local farmers have brought in
large consignments of chickens
for freezing, saying they have
been forced to kill their laying
flocks because of the feed short
age.
Locally grown grain has been
harvested, but has not yet been
threshed. If some Valley grains
can be threshed, it will help car
ry poultry owners through until
the barge arrives.
WORK TO START
AT LOCAL CEMETERY
Palmers cemetery is to present
a more dignified appearance in
the near future, when plans for
mulated at last week’s Cemetery
Association meeting are pushed
to completion.
Members of the group decided
that $100 would be spent in doz
ing and clearing land at the
cemetery and in general clean
up work. Work is to get under
way as soon as dozer operator
George Small can begin the work.
Tentative plans voiced at the
meeting also called for begin
ning of construction on a picket
fence to surround the cemetery
area.
