 Flakne retold the story of how 63 roasting ears of corn were grown in 1886 at Matanuska by Clifford Lemon and sold to Col. Otto F. Ohlson who had jokingly offered early in the year to pay fifty cents an ear for every enc which could be grown in Alaska. Until then tt was considered impossible to grow corn ln the North.
 One of the great agricultural op- portunities in Alaska is the growing of wild entrants which experiment .tatioa os show may possibly be crown ten aAs to the acre.
 Waiter 'iI22eI one season cleared more thsn S3.o00 on a four-acre garden tract at Matanuska, Flakne said. The farmer grew potatoes which had from g to 48 spads per plent. These potatoes won every time, when they were compared with Outside posatces in cooking tests, sldkne said.

Maryland Peaches Provide
Housewife With Cam
ing Crop

With the peach season at hand
in Maryland, Old-Line housewives
should give serious consideration to
canning some of this crop for con-
sumption next winter, it is suggest
ed by Margaret McPheeters, spec
ialist in nutrition for the Extension
Service. When the snow is on the
ground, the canned peaches are more
than welcome as a breakfast fruit,
in salads, and in all kinds of desserts.
1.-THE quality of canned peaches
depends largely on the quality of the
fresh peaches used" explains Miss
McPheeters. Canning does not i'm
prove the quality of the fruit, and
only the very best peaches are
suitable"
To make sure of the quality, look
for peaches that are firm and ripe
but not soft. Avoid those that are
badly bruised, those with brown
spots of decay, and those that are
uneven in shape and have punctures
made by worms. The pink blush
which is found on many varities of
peaches tells little about the quality,
but the rest of the color on the out
side of the peach is very important.
If this background color is green,
the peach may ripen with a poor
flavor or it may become shriveled.
But the peach is safe buy if this
green color has changed to a yellow
or whitish yellow color.
Miss McPheeters points out that
peaches are easy to can but are likely
to turn an unpleasing brown color
if they are not handled correctly.
The best way to avoid this brown
discoloration is to heat the peaches
in the strip for 8 to minutes and
then pack them in the jars or cans
while they are hot. Heating the
peaches this way makes them pack
better and cuts down the time need
ed to process them. Process quart
jars of peaches about Is minutes in
the water-bath.
The water-bath method of process
ing peaches is more successful than
the oven method. The latter is slow
er, and fruit may turn brown before
it is heated through. 1t should also
be remembered that when peaches
in glass jars are processed in the
oven the juices bubble out leaving
the top peach high and dry
