MATANUSKA
VALLEY HAS
GOOD CROPS
ANCHOR AC* K. Oct. 26. About f»00
tons constitute the amount of the po
tato crop this season in tin* Matan
t uska valley, the agricultural district
on the line of the government railroad
forty miles north of Anchorage. In
addition to potatoes, there are large
quantities of beets, onions, turnips,
carrots and cabbages. The yield of
hay totals at least fifty tons.
Potatoes are the chief source of
revenue for the farmers. This vege
table* was the only product in last
season’s crop to be marketed else
where than Anchorage and towns in
the Cook Inlet region. Matanuska
potatoes were sold in nearly every
j place in southwestern and southeast
» ern Alaska. In the future, as in the
past, they will In* the chief agricul
tural article of export.
This season, as last, only enough
beets, onions, turnips and cabbages
were raised to supply the demands of
the Cook Inlet region. The hay is
not baled, and is just about sufficient
for the needs of the livestock of the
Matanuska valley.
While tin- potato crop this year is
not so large as it was last year, it
is much better in quality. The yield
of 500 tons, however, is more than
will be required in the Cook Inlet dis
trict. so there will be a considerable
quantity available for marketing in
towns along tin* southwestern and
j southeastern coasts of Alaska.
The potatoes, until orders are re
ceived for shipments, will be kept by
farmers in either their association
storage houses or their individual root
cellars.
