CONSERVATION
NOTES
Lew Hanks
I was in Fairbanks last week
to attend some conservation meet
ings with local farmers. They are
afraid of being short of moisture
this spring. The ground was rath
er dry in the fall. The snow depth
is considerable less than normal.
It is melting fast and I expect
farmers will be working ground
there almost as soon as we are
here.
M. D. Snodgrass just gave me
some information on the Agricul
ture loan bill, amounting to $200,
j 000. which was passed by the leg
J islature. It authorizes the fund
and sets up a loan board to es
tablish policies. The loans will be
administered under the Territori
al Commissioner of Agriculture.
Loans are limited to $15,000 for I
development; $10,000 for chattel
loans and $2,000 for crop and
seed loans.
This loan bill is one of the most1
forward looking steps taken by
the Territory in for agricultural
development. It is a loan bill, not
a gift. .It shows our legislators, i
all the way from Ketchikan to
Kotzebue, have confidence in Al
askan farmers’ ability to make a
success of farming. One doesn’t
loan money on a prospect where
you don’t expect to get it return
ed. My congratulation are to the
Territory’s legislators for their ac
tions.
The Matanuska Electric Associ
ation has their annual meeting
this Saturday. This association
has done its full share toward the
development of agriculture in the
Valley. Your presence at the
meeting is needed. Be there.
COURT NEWS
Mrs. Paul Martin was fined
$2.50 in City Court April 2 on
an illegal parking charge. The
offense occured April 1.
AGRICULTURAL SEEDS
MUST BE TESTED AND
TAGGED FOR SELLING
Farmers were warned this week
to be sure all agricultural seed
they purchase is properly tagged
and has been recently tested. This
word of caution came from
George Crowther, executive sec
retary of the Alaska Seed Grow
ers Association. .
Under Territorial seed regula
tions. each sack of seed sold or
offered for sale, shall be plainly
labeled with the following infor
mation, he said. (1) The common
ly accepted name of the seed.
(2) Locality where seed was
grown. (3) Approximate percen
tage by weight of pure seed. (4)
Approximate total percentage by
weight of other crop seeds. (6)
Approximate total percentage by
weight of inert matter. (7) Name
and approximate number per
pound of each kind of noxious
weed seeds. (8) Percentage of ger
mination of such agricultural
seed, together with the month
and year said seed was tested.
(9) Percentage of hard seeds if
present. (10) Name and address
of vendor.
Anyone offering seed for sale
failing to have it properly label
ed with the above information is
guilty of a misdemeanor and sub
ject to a fine, Crowther said.
Anyone having seed for sale,
or planning to use their own

You park and steer with finger-tip ease,
yet the familiar feel of the road is still there.
Driving is easier—and safer than ever!
MORE PEOPLE BUY CHEVROLETS THAN ANY OTHER CAR!
Power Steering! It’s yours in Chevrolet for 1953 and
in no other low-priced car!
This wonderful new feature, optional on all models at
extra cost, marks the most important advance in driver
convenience and safety since the automatic transmission,
which Chevrolet also introduced into its field.
Power Steering makes steering virtually effortless on all
roads and at all speeds. It permits you to park, even in a
tight space, with finger-tip ease. It cuts steering effort
approximately 80%; reduces driver fatigue; makes driv
ing simpler, safer and more enjoyable than ever before.
But come in! See and drive Chevrolet for 1953 with
Power Steering and all its other exclusive advantages! •
