-'test Program Results
From Canadian's Visit
Arthur Guitard. in charge of
rereal work at the Dominion Ex
periment Station at Beaverlodge.
Alberta was in the Valley this
week conferring with cereal spec
ialists at the local experiment
station.
He was interested in a cooper
ative testing program which
would include the station at
Beaverlodge and three Canadian
substations at Fort Vermillion.
Fort Simpson, and Mile 1019 and
the Matanuska and Fairbanks
Experiment Stations. As a result
of his visit here, a new interna
tional uniform cereal variety
testing program was organized.
It will be known as the Uniform
Alcan Cereal Tests.
Mr. Guitard was impressed
with the recently organized Alas
ka Certified Seed Growers’ Asso
ciation and the two new cereal
varieties offered by it this year,
Edda barley and Golden Rain
roats. a
He was also enthusiastic about
the new Saunders v.heat variety
recently put on the Canadian
market after several years of
testing at the Beaverlodge sta
tion.
Dr. S. C. Litzenberger, in
charge of cereal investigations
for the Alaska Experiment Sta
tion said that Saunders wheat is
being included in the uniform Al
aska cereal variety tests which
©re being grown this season at 17
localities throughout the Ter
ritory.
“If it continues in its perform
ance as it has in the past two
years, it will probably be added
to the standard list of varieties of
the Alaska Certified Seed Grow
ers’ Assn.”, Dr. Litzenberger said.
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Hartner
and family will leave shortly for
a vacation trip to Saginaw, Mich.
They plan to visit friends and re
latives for about two months.
“Possibly ten,” Mrs. Hartner said,
“we’ve rented our house for that
time.”

NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
BY MARY LOU LASHBROOK
Naturally, our canning bulle
tins are in most demand this time
of the year; and with the Riving
of these Extension bulletins gra
tis. usually there is a question or
two about canning. A frequent
one is "Why is there a loss of
j juice from jars?" There are sev
eral reasons. (1) Jars are filled
too full; (2) Jars are packed too
solidly with food; (3) variation in
temperature; suddenly the low
| ering or raising of temperature
in using a pressure cooker (4) pet
cock opened too soon. Petcock
should not be opened and cover
i removed until hand on guage
goes back to zero. (5) Improperly
adjusted lids (6) steam leaking
intermittently from canner. (7)
Cooling the canner too rapidly.
"Why do bubbles appear in the
jar after it is taken from the
' cooker to cool?” Bubbles often
appear in the jar after it is re
moved from the cooker because
the food is still boiling in the jar.
Ordinarily bubbles do not ap
pear, after contents are cooled,
unless jar is shaken. A very tight
pack of food may show air bub
bles.
It is never wise for homemak
ers to try short cuts or easy meth
ods of canning which have been
passed along to them by others,
who have not given the method
a thorough trial. A method may
work one summer, but fail the
next time it is tried. Many jars of
food spoil because the method
used for canning was not one re
commended by canning authori
ties who have done enough re
search work to be sure of the cor

3 HOSPITALIZED UNDER
CRIPPLED CHILDREN’S
PROGRAM IN JULY
Three Valley children were
sent to hospitals for care last
month under the Crippled Child- |
ren’s program of the Alaska De
partment of Health, according to
Public Health Nurse Marjorie
Myren.
Two 13-year-olds were sent
out last week- a boy for plastic
surgery at a hospital in San Fran
cisco and a girl for orthopedic
care at Mt. Edgecombe Orthoped
ic Hospital near Sitka.
Earlier in the month of July, a
seven year old boy was sent to
the chronic disease unit of St.
Anne's Hospital in Juneau for a
congenital heart condition.
The Alaska Crippled Children’s
Association contributes funds to
the Territorial Health Depart
ment to defray part of the cost of
the crippled children’s program.
James M. Slaughter and Elmer
Butler flew over to the Kusko
kwim River at Crooked Creek
Wednesday to gather stream flow
data for records of Geological
Survey.
J. C. MARLOW
Nationally known |
breeder of purebred
dairy cattle for over
40 years, dairyman,
and the manufacturer
of Marlow Milkers
"I believe in the Marlow Milker
because I know what it can do
to improve dairying, from per
sonal observation and ex
perience with my own herds.
For more than 40 years I have
been a breeder of purebred
dairy cattle as well as a milker
man.
"I built the Marlow Milker be
cause I saw the need for a
mechanical milker that would
be gentler on udders and elim
inate a major cause of mastitis
flare-ups, boost milk produc
tion, and make dairying easier
and more profitable for dairy
men everywhere."
These Marlow Users Say:
"There is no comparison between the
Marlow and any milking machine
that I’ve ever seen. If all the dairymen
would use the Marlow, I’m sure they
would eliminate their greatest prob
lem, mastitis.”
Levi Johnson, Farwell, Texas
"We are receiving more milk from
our cows with the Marlow than be
fore with hand milking. They have
completely eliminated mastitis in our
herd.”
Walter Quade, Janesville, Minn.
