MATANUSKA VALLEY
 WONDERFUL PLACE
MRS. ANNA STOTkO RETURNC FROM PLEASANT TRIP TO
 FARMING CENTER

1 Ed O'Brien, oldtimer of this and the Matanuska valley district, accom-
 panied by Mrs. Anna Stotko, returned Saturday from a short visit to the Matanuska valley where MT. O'Brien conducts large ranch. Mrs. Stotko who took care of MT. O'Brien during his long illness in Seward, states the oldtimer withstood the trip in fine style and believes it proved very beneficial to him.
 Speaking of the Matanuska valley, Mrs. Stotko said the trip was de- lightful surprise but what amazed her more than the bountiful crops of all kinds was the modern farm through out the valley. The best of roads connect the various farms which dot the entire valley. Though rural dis ,trict, it seemed that every home visit ed by Mrs. Stotko contained all the comforts found in a modern city home. Mention of this was made by Mrs. Stotko for she never dreamed the home-life of the community was so far advanced.
 She visited the experimental farm as we'll as many other farms all of which impressed her immensely. Tons of strawberries have been plucked in the valley and on last Friday 20 acres of oats were to have been cut on the government farm. The most wonder full flower bed she has ever had the pleasure to see was at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Hoffman Sweet peas were growing high over a tall fence and other flowers were bloom ing apace.
 While at Matanuska, they were the guests at the home of MT. and Mrs. John Logan who conduct one of the productive ranches in the district. This farm is located near Palmer. The hospitality shown the visitors by the Logans was greatly appreciated.
