Farmers Want
Veg't'bles Graded
The establishment of definite
standards for Alaska for the
grading of vegetables was favor
ably discussed at a meeting held
here last week, attended by G.
W. Gasser, commissioner of ag
riculture, Clyde Sherman, in
charge of experimental vegeta
ble breeding at the Fairbanks
station. Parker Lester, Extension
agent, and Valley farmers.
Mr. Gasser discussed proposed
grading standards, to open the
meeting. Mr. Lester then out
lined the background of mar
keting grades in the states. Rep
resentative farmers were asked
to voice an opinion on whether
standards should be established,
and if so, whether Department
of Agriculture standards alone
should be accepted for Alaska.
A representative of the Mata
nuska Valley Farmers Co-oper
ating Association said the Co-op
would be in favor of established
grading standards. Charles
Schaefer, speaking for Valley
farmers, also favored a grading
plan.
It was decided that the group
would meet again next week, to
further study the matter. Date
of next week’s meeting was in
definite at press-time.

Hospital Digs For
Salable Items
Faced with the immediate need
for the purchase of still more
hospital equipment, members of
the board of directors of the
Valley Hospital Association last
week decided to dispose of some
of the surplus property now
owned by the Association.
Board President James Wilson
said the purchase of an incu
bator-resuscitator and new ether
equipment was urgently needed.
Some surplus kitchen equipment,
not now used by the hospital, will
be sold, and probably one of the
hospital-owned Quonsets, he
stated.
There has been some discus
sion of the sale of a Quonset hut
between hospital board members
and fair board members. The
hospital-owned Quonsets are now
set up on the fair grounds, where
they were used last year as ex
hibit halls. Mr. Wilson said that
if plans for a sale are completed,
details will be worked out so that
the coming fair will not suffer
a housing shortage. It is thought
that any possible purchaser may
be willing to wait to take posses
sion until after Sept. 6.
Board members met informally
with Manager Janet Mills at Mr.
Wilson’s home on Sunday eve
ning. Miss Mills arrived in the
Valley last Saturday, and is now
being introduced to her new du
ties at the Valley Hospital. She
officially assumed the manager
ship on August 1.
