Gold Subsidy Urged
For UJ. Producers
Senator Gruening this week
said comparison of 1934-1962
prices points up the need for
a subsidy to domestic gold pro
duction.
Using a prepared chart to do
cument his contention, he
pointed out as examples that
ground beef, now selling for
55 cents a pound, has increased
186 per cent over its 1934 price
of 18 cents a pound. Room and
board has increased 157 per
cent over 1934 rates, he said,
and bread 201.42 per cent, milk
91.53 per cent and lower pric
ed automobiles have increased
some 284.86 per cent above
1934 prices.
These figures dramatically
illustrate, the senator said, the
need for a government subsidy
for newly mined gold.
Critizicing the Treasury De
partment’s stand on the mea
sure, he said that if the depart

“something more than wholly
negative responses to every
suggestion for keeping our gold
mining industry in production,
it will soon be extinct in the
United States, though flourish

He predicted that “the gold

dodo bird, the passenger pig
eon and the great auk to the
ornithological graveyard.
Sometimes it would seem that
the Treasury Department is

Ideal Weather Favors Crops During
June, Alaska Crop Report Shows
Mid-June weather was about
ideal for all crops, Alaska Co
operative Crop Reporting ser
vice said this week.
Warm weather June 16 to 21
along with a quarter inch to
a half inch of rain June 21 and
22 gave all crops a big boost
but delayed haying in the Rail
belt. Early planted potatoes
and grain, and grasses are
growing rapidly now. Late
plantings of grains for silage
are also doing well.
Around 10 per cent of the
mixed grains for silage re
main to be planted in the Tan
ana and Matanuska Valleys
Early planted silage crops are
excellent. Some crops are still
a little behind but warm wea
ther, adequate sunshine and
pain speeded up plant growth
considerably.
Potatoes in the Matanuska
Valley may still be a few days
later than last year at this
time but with continued favor
able growing conditions should
fully catch up by harvest time.
Potatoes are setting on in the
early fields. In the Tanana
Valley early fields of potatoes
were up and showing rows last
week.
Prospects for vegetable crops
are very good except some of
the first planting of lettuce
which has developed irregular
ly and slow. Some of the let
tuce planted two weeks earl
ier than second planting is
very little ahead now and will
probably be harvested less
than a week earlier than the
second planting. Radishes de
veloped rapidly under favor
able weather conditions. Qual
ity is very good and supply
plentiful in the Palmer area.
