SPUDS YIELD LARGE TONNAGE
The Settler hears that so-’.# of
our Valley farmers received yields
of 18 to 22 tons to the acre on
spuds last fall. One farmer stat
ed that he received over four tons
from 200 pounds of seed. All of
these yields were grown on tracts
especially prepared for the crop.
One of the best yields was on
barn-yard manure fertilizing. A
nother was from a field on which
a crop of field peas had been plow
ed under the year before and then
had had 400 pounds of commercial
fertilizer spread upon it during
the spring.
Since the average yield is a
bout four tons to the acre in the
Valley, It can easily be determin
ed who made the most money, the
.nan who summer fallowed the one
acre and then fertilized it heav
ily, or the man who raised five
acres and cot the same amount of
tons as the man who had one acre.
At $100 per ton, a farmer can do
a lot of work and spend consider
able money for fertilizer, if he
can get 20 tons from the acre and
a much better grade of potatoes
usually come from the heavier pro
ducing fields.
We have been unable to get any
further details concerning the
U.S.O., other than that there will
be a unit in Palmer for the Ser
vice men. The Lounge in the Co-Op
Recreation Building has been se
cured and is undergoing cleaning
and remodeling. The U.S.O. will
send furniture as soon as the room
is presentable and someone will be
placed in charge. Other communit
ies provide services and food for
this service to our fighting men.
No doubt such will be desired in
i aimer too, so keep informed and
i.ets all do our part to help in
this unique manner. Some of the
things that we have in mind would
be furnishing books, games and mag
azines, lunches and donuts and
coffee. Lots of the boys want In
formation about the country. Social
evenings and social events might be
arranged by various community organ
izations. Most of our service men
do not want coddling or sympathy
but just want to enter into the
normal life of the community in
iwhich they are stationed. Just like
pBack Home."
The- Settler retracts with pleas
ure the announcement made last week
concerning-the death in Anchorage,
of Ralph Horton.
Little Sarah Smith, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Smith of Palmer, under
went an appendectomy at Palmar,
Thursday afternoon. She is doing
well.
