Reception iJor Rev. end Rrs.
Randall last Sundat Right began
with a song' service of old far.i
iliar songs, v:hic was much enjoyed.
Followed by a social hour with
lots of doughnuts and coffee.
A shower'of Alaskan products'
was presented, fruits, vegetables,
moose meat and various other
products of Alaska.
For many years throughout the
country have noticed certain char
acteristic conditions appearing in
their crops which they have consid
ered a disease. Ollicials of the
al.Icrican bocioty of Agronomy and
the national Portlizod Association
have put forth special effort to
find and compile information con
cerning these various conditions
and have found in most eases the
abnormal, plants were cs.uscd by a
dcfiency of one or'more of the nec
essary plant foods.
Some of the most common crop
dcficncics arc nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium and other elements such
as 'ooren. Since our moat, milk
and other foods arc simply plant
substances built into another form,
it is definite that a soil region
will be'equipped to hold bettor
working, harder playing, more alert
men and women, this i3 very import-'
ant during this period of emergency,
if there is a sufficient amount
of vital minerals available. It
has also boon thought and shown
that by using hybrid seed and
improved varieties, crop yields
have beer, improved for a certain,
period of time. However, sooner
or 1..ter all crops are effected
by the limitations of the amount
of nutrients available inthe coil,
.Phosphorous is necessary for the
assimilation of nitrates and there
fore a soil high in nitrogen will
not grow the largest crop'possible
if lacking in phosphorous.
Another element that nay be lack
ing in the 3oil is manganese. In
a potato plant, for example, if
this element is lacking there is
practically no chlorophll p resent,
and this is as important to the
plant as rod blood cells to the
human being. Another olcr: .it that
often shows up as Inciting in a
potato patch is boron. The Now
York Txperimontal Station Station
has found that potatoes grovr.i in a
soil lacking in boron were soggy ;
and flat tasting. Boron-ccficiont
potatoes are smaller than r.ormal
and often have a ruptured surface;
In an advance stage of deficiency,
roots are abnormally short and
thick. The leaves thicken and the
margins roll' upward.
In the noat issud of the
Valley Settler another soil def
iciency will be discussed by the
Extension Agent.
"The time has come for us to
take our American Citizenship ser
iously. Me have accepted the priv
ileges afforded us by our form of
Government as a matter of course,
forgetful of the price our fore
fathers paid that we night be free.
That freedom, and the Government
tinder which v/e enjoy it, is not
only'challenged, but it in threat
ened. Let tha barkers as a class
take the load in a great movement
to arouse our people to the dan
gers which threaten, and try to
make then conscious of their in
dividual obligation and responsi
bility to our Government. Let us
pledge anew our allegiance to the
flag of our country, and r:dedicate
our lives to its protection and
perpetuation."
