Introducing— A Smooth-Skinned Visitor Here
NEW POTATO READY FOR PLANTING
Introducing—Chisago, a new
early white potato of smooth
skin, which first entered the
potato world at the University of
Minnesota nine years ago.
Chisago was developed by Dr.
F. A. Krantz of the division of
horticulture at Minnesota. The
infant potato, first known as
Pedigree No. 47, accompanied
Dr. Z. M. Fineman, agronomist
at the Alaska Agricultural Ex
periment Station here, to the
territory. Dr. Fineman was form
erly associated with Dr. Krantz
in horticultural work at Min
nesota.
Since its entry in Alaska, Chis
ago has undergone four years of
testing. Last year a dozen farm
?rs of the Matanuska Valley were
given five pounds of seed to

plant, as the final trial. The har
vest bore out the good results
obtained in the previous three
years of testing, and Chisago is
now is to be available to interest
ed Valley farmers.
Dr. Fineman said the new
potato matures as early as the
Irish Cobbler, one of its parent
tubers, and “yields as well or
better.’’ It excels the Cobbler
in that its smooth skin is more
resistant to scab.
"When, dug early." Dr. Fine
man stated, "it produces a high
percentage of number one tu
bers. It will not, however,
yield as well as the Arctic
Seedling when grown as a late
potato. It is well adapted to
the early market and to spots
in Alaska where the orowina
season is short."
The Chisago has been tested
in Minnesota for the past four
years, as well as in Alaska, but
possibly will be available on the
market in Alaska before it is
produced commercially in the
[ states.
| The infant development in the
potato world is the result of a
three-way cross. Chisago’s moth
er parent is the Irish Cobbler
crossed with Seedling, 13-1.
That potato was the result of a
cross between Russet Burbank
and Katahdin.
Farmers interested in further
possibilities of Chisago are asked
to call at the experiment station.
A small quantity of seed is still
available there. Several Valley
farmers also have a few bushel
of Chisaeo seer! available
books in the library was com
menced early in the week.
It is planned to bring the fic
tion department of the library
up to date, and to discard all ob
solete books. Book purchases,
which will be financed by terri
torial funds, will not exceed $500
annually.
The high school already has
an excellent list of periodicals
in its files, according to Carl
Snelling, school superintendent.
The library is now subscribing
to 28 periodicals and four news
papers.
There are at present 2,441
books in the high school library.
Call 8 to get meeting notices
