I have a few more things this
week on elections.
The Wasilla Soil Conservation
Sub-district is holding elections
this week for supervisor. The bal
lot box is at Teeland’s Store. If
you live west of the Seward
Meridian, you are in the Wasilla
Sub-district. South of it is the
jumping off place so why worry
about it. Well, to get back to
elections, if you’re Wasilla and
occupy three acres or more get
out and vote this week. Candi
dates are Mel Bjorn, Chet Burden,
Earl Combs, Harold Harris, Hen
ry Hanson, C. L. Byers, J. Levan
and Clem Tellman.
If you’re Palmer, vote next
week. The ballot will be at the
extension office. Candidates are;
Bill Roark, Leonard Kyger, Paul i
Nelson, Robert Webb, Glen
Woods, Merle Anderson. Ray'
Newell and Johan Johnson. The
men you vote into office will be
the men I have to work under so |
make your choice.
A forage clinic or school will
be held January 25th at the Pal-j
mer Grange Hall under the joint
sponsorship of the Palmer and
Wasilla Soil Conservation Dis
tricts, the Northland Pioneer and
Wasilla Granges, the Extension
Service, the Experiment Station,
the Soil Conservation Service and
anyone else that wants to get into
the act.
Here will be a chance to bring
an those samples of hay or silage
and find out what’s good or bad
about them. The Grange ladies |
will sell refreshments at noon, j
It will start between 9 and 10 a.m. |
