Spud Harvest Goes On,
But Co-Op Won't Guess
What Full Yield Will Be
The potato harvest is well be
gun in the Valley, but has not yet
reached its height, Clayton Es
slinger of the Matanuska Valley
Farmers’ Co-Operating Associa
tion said today. A number of
heavy potato shipments have
been scheduled by the Co-Op for
early fall delivery, he said. Al
ready a large quantity of pota
toes is beginning to arrive at the
Co-Op’s storage bins.
It’s still too early, however, to
make general predictions about
the over-all harvest, according to
Esslinger. A crop survey, initiated
a week or two ago by the Co-Op,
still is incomplete. It is known,
at this time, that local lettuce is
in very short supply. The hot,
dry summer caused all Valley let
tuce to mature at once.
Kodiak Company Has 3rd
Air Accident of Summer
The third air accident for the
company in the past few months
damaged a small float plane oper
ated out of Kodiak by the Chiniak
Air Service last week. Pilot M. F.
O’Brien, manager of the company,
was injured seriously in the
crash. He was treated at the Ko
diak Hospital and later was flown
Outside for further medical at
tention.
The injured man was unable to
give too clear a picture of the ac
cident. He blamed wind currents
for the crash, which occurred at
the take-off from Big Lake. There
were no eye v.itensses, but other
pilots at the lake heard the crash
and arrived in time to pull
O’Brien from the water.
