HARVEST SEASON STARTING.
As soon as tho rain quit falling
this last week, farmers began •
harvesting all kinds of crops, the
truck crops have been coming in foi_
some time and there is still more
to come-, yeilds were good in spite
of cut worms, some places. One grow
or reports that he got 1150 pounds
of celery off of less than a quarter
of an acre. Fair yeilds of cabbage
an'* lettuce were produced too.
Several spud growers are digging
this week and while we have not
recieved any reports on the quality
it seems to be good so far.
Several farmers harvested good
crops of grain and there is a lot
of good hay to be harvested.
The potato storage pln.nt is now
almost covered, but the sheeting
end roofing have to be done yet.
Several patents have been worked
out on spud diggers and we hope ' ••
that they prove successful, will
discuss their success later on.
HAYDRIERS MAY SOLVE PROBLEM
Farmers are beginning to become
interested in some kind of a hny
. drier, for use in the Valley, we
have had so much rain that it has
been rather difficult to got start
ed with the haying ordeal. If some
kind of an Inexpensive drier could
be worked out, it would be a big
help, we hear that expierments are
being made this fall and it will be
interesting to know how they preform
The people of the Matanuska Valley
have a large outlet for their pro
ducts in the territory along the
new Glenn Highway and the Copper
River Valley, Valdez has had this
trade for a long time, but owing to
the fact that the Richardson High
way is closed during the vinter
months, we might get it now.
