NOTES
I was in Fairbanks last week. I
Crops look about as far along or
perhaps slightly ahead of ours.
They got a heavy rain there last
Wednesday that made their crops.
If they don’t even get any more
and the frost holds off until nor
mal they should hit some top
yields.
Local hay yields are really
something this year. Leonard Mof
fit has one field of brome hay j
that baled over three tons per j
acre. It’s fine looking hay too. |
That’s almost twice the normal,
yield on oats and peas and he■
still has a second crop to go. All j
you need is a good brome stand
and heavy fertilization.
It takes a lot less time to fer
tilize a brome field than it does
to work ground and seed oats and
peas. It takes a lot more work to
i hay oats and peas too. A side de- j
livery rake and pickup bailer are
the “cat’s whiskers” when it
comes to making hay.
There are two good ways to
miss out on a good brome stand.
One way is to seed with a heavy
stand of grain plus light fertiliza
tion. The second way is to cut or
pasture close late in the fall. If
you do the first you smother out
your brome stand in the summer.
If you pasture heavy in the fall
your winter kills it out. Two years
of that and you have a good fox
tail stand instead of brome. Don’t
do it.

46 ACRES SEED POTATOES PLANTED
A plentiful supply of certified
seed potato is practically assured
for Alaskan potato growers next
year. According to George Crow
ther, acting secretary of the
ACSGA, more than 46 acres of
seed potatoes have been planted,
including six acres of new vari
eties released for trial plantings
this year.
Earl Combs, Ted Knutsen and
Harold Dinkel of Wasilla; Cecil
Wyant and Emil Burtolowitz of
Homer and Bert Stimple of Fair
banks are making the trial plant
ings this year of four new vari
eties, identified by numbers only.
I
In addition to six acres of new |
varieties, a break down on the
1953 crop shows 12:25 acres of
White Bliss; 5.75 acres of Knik;
18.33 acres of Green Mountain;
1.75 acres of Kennebec and 2 acres
of Arctic Seedling with Fairbanks
area leading with 30.50 acres of
certified potatoes, followed by the
Palmer-Wasilla area with 9.50
acres and Kenai with 6.25 acres.
Last year, Crowthers pointed
out, the total acreage in seed po
tatoes amounted to only half as
much as this year’s crop.
Cereal crops this year will total
20.50 acres, a little over six acres
