CEREALS, FORAGE CROP PLANTINGS
TO BE MADE ON LARGE SCALE
For the first time, a wide-scale
test check on the growing adapt
ability of cereals and forage crops
will be undertaken in the terri
tory this summer, it was learned
this week. Under the direction of
Dr. S. C. Litzenberger, agro
nomist at the Matanuska station,
test plots will be planted at lQ
different locations for the forage
crops and in 10 separate areas for
cereal crops.
Object of the program, which
will continue for at least five
years, Dr. Litzenberger said, is to
determine the types of cereals
and forage crops best adapted to
conditions in various geogrophic
locations in the territory’s agri
cultural areas.
The planting program for the
cereal crops will be handled
through the help of the veterans’
on-farm training classes and the
Agricultural Research Adminis
tration. The forage crop plant
ings will be made through the as
sistance of the Soil Conservation
sub-districts, the Extension Serv
ice and on-farm training classes.
Growing plots are to be located
at Kenai, Kodiak, Fairbanks, in
the Matanuska and Tanana Val
leys, and at locations through the
Big Delta and Tanacross sections.

Ski! Night To Hava

The annual skit night sponsor
ed by the junior class of Palmer

year that it has overflowed into
two skit nights, it was reported
in a last-minute announcement
from Superintendent William T.
Zahradnicek, iast week.
Grades one to six presented
their skits last Saturday evening.
Grades seven and eight and the
high school classes are scheduled
to stage the second half of the
program on either March 10 or

last Saturday is also good for ad
mission to the second chapter of
the event.
First prize last Saturday night

a pair of square dances, done in
appropriate costume.
Mrs. Thomas Moyer’s first
grade placed second with Mr. and
Mrs. Playhouse, a church wed
ding. Mrs. Rausch’s first grade

tne local Presbyierian minister

7. The hospital is to be open

ture, should the project prove to
uk! successful. A review of the
need for a community hospital
will be made and on the basis
of that survey will rest the de
cision to participate in a con
struction program.
Reverend Alfsen explained that
this proposal is unique, in that it
icpresents the first Presbyterian
attempt to undertake a part of
hospital expense, and still allow
control to remain wholly in local
hands. He added that the agree
ment could be terminated at any
time that one or both parties felt

aid. He was unable to say how "
long it would be from the time
of that preliminary application
until construction could begin.
The housing director was em
phatic in urging that some steps
be taken to obtain the benefits
of the Alaska Public Works Act
} under the GSA. He said “I should
think it would be of great par
ticular value to the community
of Palmer to incorporate as a
| city now and take advantage of
the GSA revenues that will fi
nance your community improve
ments, your utilities, your com
munity building and some of
these other things that you need.i ^
They are provided within that
Act, that will allow fifty percent
of the cost to be given to your
community and the other 5G per
cent will be loaned to the com
| munity over a period of time
| that will allow you to repay from
revenues from the particular fa
i cility. It is going to cost you
| practically nothing, to take ad
I vantage of this Act.”
