FARMERS’ PRODUCE
Anchorage. iBv Mail>.—As nigh
be expected, the best customer of tit
farmers of the Mataauska Valley is
the Alaska Engineering Commission
1 mess halls at Anchorage and at con
struetjoa camps along the route o(
the Government Railroad the Coen
mission uses so Sir as possible, lo
cai-grown produce. According to the
report for 191S. of the Commission’s
storekeeper, he bought of fanners
last year 57 toes of potatoes at
prices ranging from 1 1-5 to 2 1-2 C..
a pound: 32.S45 pounds of turnips at
1 cent a pound: S063 pounds of cab
bage at 3c. a pound: 4075 pounds oi
rutabagas at 2 cents a pound; 3SSS
pounds of carrots at 3 1-2 cents a
pond: S76 pounds of rhubarb at 6c.
I a pound, and 4402 heads of lettuce at
i 5 cents a bead.
Or account of dilatory steamship
seryiee and high freight rates for wa
ter transportation. Matanuska far
mers are unable to market their pro
duce to advantage in any of the dis
tant towns along the coast of Alaska.
As a consequence they are urged by
the Land and Industrial department
of the Alaska Engineering Commis
sion to direct their attention chiefly to
dairying and raising of hogs rather
than as at present to the growing of
perishable vegetables.
The land and industrial department
. has recommended that congress ap
propriate money for the establish
ment of stock farms is Alaska, where
bystock might be lent to farmers for
breeding purposes or sold to them on
long payment. Ensilage methods could
be invoked to put up feed at harvest
time for use in winter time.
