LUSCIOUS 101
GROWN BERRIES
Dr. J. T. Westermann is receiving
orders for strawberries and we guess
not California strawberries either, j
but real, red, luscious strawberries i
brown in the Matanuska valley. To j
further advertise the first appearance
of Matanuska strawberries on the An
chorage market Dr. Westermann is
having a photograph made of them
which will be used as avidence for the
“Doubting Thomases.”
To M. F. Winchester, president of
the Matanuska Farmers’ association
goes the honor of bringing the first.
native-grown strawberries to Anchor
age and while he did not glut the
market they were here “for you and
all to see.”
Mr. Winchester’s homestead of 320
acres is situated about two miles
northwest from Matanuska Junction
and his strawberry patch consists of
plants sent from the experimental
farm at Sitka and the Hood River
district in Oregon and he says tho
Sitka plant is about three weeks ear
lier in blooming and seems to be a
thriftier and hardier plant and would
advise other farmers contemplating
setting out plants to secure the ones
from Sitka as they were unquestiona
bly better adapted to this climate and
soil.
However, strawberries are not the
only source of income from Mr. Win
chester’s'farm, as he has eight acres
in cultivation, consisting of 3% acres
of potatoes, three acres of grain, one
acre of timothy and the balance in
garden truck. It is gathered from re
liable data that the average crop of
potatoes in the valley is ten tons to
the acre and the average price of po
tatoes is 3c per pound, which solves
the problem of the commissary in the
following satisfactory manner: 3c
per pound equals $60.00, ten tons to
the acre equals $600.00, 3% acres
equals $2,100. With Matanuska val
ley strawberries topping the market
and potatoes commanding a good
price, to say nothing of other prod
ucts, the farmer in this valley will
manage to hold up for the winter.
Mr. Winchester said that too much
publicity could not be made in regard
to the condition of the wagon roads
of that section and that the farmers
were compelled to take their time,
which should be devoted to further
development of their places, in keen
ing the roads in passable condition.
This matter is receiving the attention
of the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce, whose action may yet develop
into something tangible and mitigate
the present wagon road situation of
the great farming community in the
Matanuska valley.
ENGLAND FOLLOWED GERMA
NY’S LEAD SAVING DAYLIGHT
LONDON, July 20.—About the on
ly objection to the recently adopted
daylight s'aving scheme now being ag
itated in America was that it was
made in Germany. But England isn’t
so touchy on that point as she used
to be. She has learned lots of things
from Germany in the last two years.
Why, they even make Frankfurter
sausages right here in London these
days, and serve them with Teutonic
style potato salad and sauer-kraut.
Germany began rob'Bing darkness
in favor of daylight on May 1, by set
ting all the clocks in the empire ahead
an hour. Great Britain followed by
doing the same thing. On October 1
the clocks will be turned back again.
There is a yearly gain of 154 hours
of useful daylight, equivalent to 17

G|as bills are much lower, both in
the home and in the factory. The to
tal yearly saving in this item alone
is estimated at $12,500,000.
Railway companies will save about
$500,000 a year in cost of lighting and
will benefit by increased passenger
traffic.
A longer period of leisure before
sunset is afforded the women and girl
workers.
Tired business men are able to play
golf an hour longer in the evening.
Eyesight especially will benefit,
daylight being better than artificial
light.
The scheme was introduced by hav
ing every public clock, on churches,
town halls, post offices, railway sta
tions, etc., set forward one midnight
to 1 o’clock.
The change makes the difference
between clock-time in London and
New York six hours instead of five as
at present.
