Honolulu Farmers Will
!Try Alaskan Soils
j Four Oriental American farm
ers from sunny Honolulu are the
Valley’s newest agricultural re
j cruits. One of the four, Tamatsu
i Fujimoto, recently purchased a
J homesite from the Alaska Rural
j Rehabilitation Corporation, and
i will erect a cabin where all of the
< friends plan to live.
: Truck farming is the thought
the group of new Alaskans is toy
ing with. The men came to the
Valley last year to investigate its
agricultural possibilities. From
here they went to Adak where
they spent the winter in employ
ment before returning to Hono
lulu. The four came winging back
to the Territory in a Strato
Cruiser early this ■week, and Mr
Fujimoto immediately started
back for Palmer to purchase his
land.
New Cartons Enclose
Matanuska Eggs
Matanuska hens are doing their
noblest, as Easter and egg season
drawls near. And as a special ges
ture of appreciation, the Mata
nuska Valley Farmers’ Co-Oper
atin Association has designated
an eye-catching new carton to
help advertise the results ob
tained by hard-working Valley
flocks.
The attractive green and yellow
cartons made their appearance on
the counters of all Valley and An
chorage merchants this wreek. In
order to make the new carton an
especially welcome sight to house
wives, merchants featured a spe
cial reduced price on Matanuska
eggs for this week, too.

An eight pound, seven ounce

Mrs. Harry Kendricks of Palmei .

rived at Valley Hospital, had noi j
yet been named at press-time.
