Makes Progress
The Soil Conservation Service

classification on the Kenai Pe
ninsula is making “good prog
ress" with the work. Charles
Wilson, district conservationist,
said this week. At the end of
June the crew had covered about
73.000 acres on the Kenai.
As soon as the large section
now being classified is complet
ed. the crew will move into the
two small areas at Fritz Creek
and Kasilof. Mr. Wilson said he
expected all three assignments
to be completed by Sept. 15.
Thomas Day. in charge of the
survey group, is now in Fair
banks where he is compiling
data for soils fertility studies
and classification work.
Ice drilling operations in the
Dunbar area, to show the extent
of ice masses in the earth there,
were expected to start immedi
ately. The work will be complet
ed about August 15. at which
time territorial agricultural
heads will meet to study the re
sults of drilling tests and to plan
the farming future of the Dun
bar area.
