FARM DOINGS
IN THE VALLEY
By Lew E. Hanks
Leonard Kyger is now work
ing full time on his farm on Fish
hook road. He is planning to go
into a beef cattle enterprise. Good
luck, Leonard, on your new ven
ture.
Harold Thuma, Bill Roark and
Clair Patten met as an advisory
committee on the Agricultural
Conservation Programs Branch
of Alaska. Recommendations for
changes in payments for conser
vation practices were sent to
Lorin T. Oldroyd and Parker
Lester.
Parker Lester says that the
money allotted for conservation
payments is almost entirely en
cumbered by applications already
received. Unless more money can
be made available, future appli
cations probably cannot be ap
proved.
John Quick and Arthur Welch,
who operate sawmills on the
Knik Road, are moving their
mills up on the Glenn Highway
whei’e they will operate for the
summer. They intend to sell fin
ished lumber in the Fairbanks
