At the Monday night bor
ough meeting at the school
there was an estimated 100 per
sons present, representing the
Taikeetna, Montana, Willow,
Big Lake, Mahoneyville, Wasil
la, and Palmer Independent
School District areas. The opin
ion was if borough law is
changed to extend the period of
local initiative to 1965, this in
no way should affect petition
proceedings in this area. An
other meeting is slated for
March 14 at the Wasilla school.
'•UR SOil * CUR STRENGTH =
By Cliff IvXarcus
Many of the farms in this
area are bothered by fields of
n uneven or undulating topo
: :;raphy. This uneven topo
j rraphy has caused depressions
! in varying sizes, shapes, and
| depths. These depressions or
“wet spots” are troublesome
areas because they are; usually
the last spots that can be work
ed up in the field in the spring
and make for 'irregular rr -’l^g
and fertilization. If the field is
in grass then these “wet spots”
will have a good chance of ic
ing over and possibly winter
killing the grass leaving the
spot to become a weed-infested
area.
To eliminate this problem
where the depressions are not
too deep, a land smoothing op
eration can be done by knock
| THE REAL YOU
A man’s reputation m a j
i change, but his character fol
lows him to the far end of the
| earth.
! ing off the high spots and fill
ing the low spots and making
waterways to carry off the ex
j cess water. This operation,
! however, should be done only
| where enough topsoil is avail
able.
If the depresion is too deep
and too large for filling, a ver
tical dry drain can be installed
to allow the water to be carried
downward faster than the nor
mal spr;ng thawing conditions
] allow. This can only be used
| where clean outwash gravel or
; permeable glacial till under
i lies the area. Your Palmer Soil
| Conservation Subdistrict has a
: small Eversman land leveler
| that con be rented to help you
: in your land smoothing work.
Contact any one of the Board
members to arrange for a time
to use the leveler.
