CONSERVATION
NOTES
By Lew E. Hanks
The Brillion grass seeder be
longing to the Soil Conservation
Service, has been loaned to the
Soil Conservation Sub-district on
the Kenai Peninsula. In the past
two years it has seeded several
hundred acres of grass in the
valley. As a demonstration ma
chine its use has been an un
qualified success.
The same company, also makes
a combination grain-grass drill
and fertilizer spreader operating
on the same principle. That of
dropping the seed or fertilizer be
tween two sets of packers. It
might be worth investigating if
you intend to get a grain drill.
Small seeded crop varieties are
often seeded too deep here, as it
is.
Mr. Charles Wilson and I spent
a couple of days in Valdez last
week. We looked over several
hundred acres that may be poten- 1
tial farm land in that area. I am
sure that it is worth a close in- 1
vestigation. The more I see of
Alaska the more certain I am that 1
there is a big future for farming <
here. To me, however, the cream
of the area is still the Matanuska i
Valley. <
That reminds me of something,
jo ajdnoo e Xjuo si auiij jihj£ l
weeks away. That’s the time I
when the Valley goes on display 1
If we’re ever to show the country 1
what farming can do here, Fair i
time is the time to do it. We need c
lots of exhibits, especially in the '
livestock departments. It takes e
time and work to do those things I
but its worth it. Let’s get behind
the effort of the Fair board and t
make this Fair bigger and better p
than ever. Gene Kirsch is doing a p
fine job managing it. Get those r
exhibits on the way. r

ANCHORAGE MAN TO
HEAD POLIO DRIVE
John O’Shea, well-known An
chorage insurance man and com
munity leader, has accepted the
chairmanship of the 1954 March
of Dimes in Alaska, Basil O’Con
nor, president of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly
sis, announced this week.
As March of Dimes chairman,
O’Shea will coordinate the fund
raising activities of volunteer
campaign workers throughout
Alaska and will lead what may
prove to be the most crucial
March of Dimes in National Foun
dation history.
In accepting the appointment,
O’Shea said, “The polio outbreak
n Juneau this summer dramati
cally pointed out to Alaskans
some of the results of past March
if Dimes campaigns. By mid-sum
ner many patients were in hos
Ditals, their treatment costs be
ng paid by the National Foun
dation.
“By the time polio had reach
id out to claim a rate of 186 vic
ims for every 100,000 popula
ion in late July, the city of Jun
lau applied to the office of De
fense Mobilization for gamma
tlobulin to be used in a mass in
sulation.
“Gamma globulin was allocated
>y the ODW and flown to Alaska.
Jedical supplies were rushed in
>y the Foundation’s national
leadquai'ters in New York. Start
ng July 30, more than 1,500
hildren through the age of 14
^ere being inoculated at clinics
stablished by the Territorial
lealth Department.
“The research, which isolated
he three polio viruses and later
roved the worthiness of gamma
lobulin, a rare human blood de
ivative, had been financed with
rillions of March of Dimes dol
irs.”
Per capita contributions to the
larch of Dimes in Alaska last
ear increased from 61 cents to !
9 cents. In terms of dollars this !
cpresents an increase of $23,468 J
ver the previous year. 1
The 1954 March of Dimes takes i
lace January 2 through the 31st.
