At a meeting of the hoard of Direc
tors of the Cooperating Association
last week, it was voted that seed
and fertilizer loans be made avail

ting Association, These arc for
use on home tracts. It was also
agreed that loans for use on off
tra.ct lands should be made at the
discretion of tie A.R.R.C.
Those who have not filed in the or
der for seed and fertilizers must
do so immediately,
At the same meeting, I/Ir.C.C.Brix
presented his report on the meat de
partment. Mr.Jack Rose was present
at the meeting and stated that with
the exception of an oven, the equip
ment of .the department is complete^ '
for all needs. lie stated that the
biggest difficulty was to secure
from the farmers sufficient first
class meats. Although the poorer
grades can be utilized for ground
meats, this' practice 'results 'in low
er prices to the farmer, says Rose.
The meeting of the Board on Monday
of this week was for the principal
purpose of discussing the marketing
situation of MataRusks products.
There was much general discussion
and it was felt that a more active
sales program should be pursued.
At the same meeting, the Board voted
to endorse the petition asking the
Department of the Interior's assis
tance in the . completion of roads
connecting Palmer with the Richard
son Highway. It is generally felt
that such a road would brin new
business for Matanuska Valley goods.
