FAMILIES, FRIENDS WELCOME EXPLORERS BACK FROM TRIP
PARENTS AND FRIENDS gather around the
converted school bus of uncertain vintage
which hauled 12 Explorer scouts and three
adult leaders to the international Explorer
conference in Provo, Utah, and back to
Paimer. The boys and their leaders got
back to town the evening of Sept. 3, just
in time (sob) to start back to school. The
Aug. 23-28 conference was sponsored by
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints. Palmer boys making the trip were
Dennis Spendlove, Michael Wetherbee,
Terry Lee Beal, Richard Bohman, Bill Boh
man, Dennis Campbell, Neville Downs,
Terry Hollembaek, Ralph Hulbert, and
Gary LaRose. Local leaders were Joe A.
Lentz Jr. (who at the close of the trip
proudly displayed, three belt notches of
lost weight), and Clyde Oberg. Expenses
for the trip were earned by the boys
themselves.

mg Experiment Fights for its
Life,” according to Sigmund
H. Restad, director of the Al
aska Division of Agriculture.
The article quoted Dr.
George Rogers, Alaskan econ
omist, as saying, “With the
long hauls to bring feed and
equipment, the terribly high
wages, the unfertile thin soils
on top of glacial rubble, and
the short season, it is an eco
nomic waste to try farming
here. Anyway these aren't real
farmers. They are part time
plumbers, fishermen, carpent
ers, and truckers trying to
make ends meet. Federal sub
sidy for their meager results
is senseless.”
“The .fallacy of this state
ment can be emphasized in
many ways,” said Mr. Restad.
Commercial producers of agri
cultural products in Alaska are
primarily good agriculturists
with a better general education
than farmers of most areas. An
example of the efficiency of
local production versus shipped
in agricultural products is the
complete change of retail sup
ply from the lower states to
the utilizing of high quality,
locally-produced lettuce, cab
bage, carrots, etc. while they
are in season.
The value of agricultural
production in Alaska has in
creased threefold in the last
ten years, according to the
Alaska Coperative Crop Re
porting Service; with the only
direct federal subsidy applying
to the state being the school
milk program.
Fertilizer use here is approx
imately the same, per unit of
production, as in non-irrigated
areas of the midwest.
Although Alaska has produc
tion problems unique to the
state, it also has some agri
cultural production advant
ages, including very few crop
diseases and insects, and long
working and growing days be
cause of the additional day
light hours during the growing
season.
