partment. He also announced that

*71ra LaRose reported on the
Dairymen's meeting of Monday even
ing, He stated that in the event
of a hay-shortage, second growth
alfalfa hay could be landed at $45,
p:r -ton.He said freight rates op hay
and grain of $28.00 and $25,00 re*
spactively had been put'in effect.
The recommendation of 1,1.1,C, And
erson and hr. Estelle was that it
would be more economical to use
additional grain rather than to
import hay. In response to the
quantity of fish-meal which could
be safely'included in feed for
milk cows, no definite figures were
available, Mr. Quarnstrom reported
feeding up to 5// per day per cow
with no harmful results. Ho fed
immediately after milking.
Mr, Estelle announced that he
had investigated and found that no
telephones were yet available as a
result of installation of a dial
rystem in Anchorage, Arrangements
were made to determin cost of
materials for a telephone system
in the Valley, ^e also stated that
most recent fertilizer quotations
showed sodium nitrate to be a cheap
er source of nitrogen that ammonium
sulphate, and that for mixed fer
tilizers, ammonium phosphate con
taining both nitrogen and phos
phorous, was mo3t economical.
Acting on Mr. Arndt's svigges
tion the committee arranged to in
vestigate lime deposits available
to the Valley, as to quality and
availability. Mr. Arndt pointed
eut that adequate liming of soils
vould constitute the cheapest pos
sible source of nitrogen.
