Army Will Buy Local Produce From Valley Farms

Henceforth the Army is going to do it's part toward fostering Alaskan agriculture by buying the produce of local farms, Val ley vegetable growers were told at a meeting held at Fort Rich ardson last week.
 Not only does the Army plan to buy local produce to meet the needs of Fort Richardson, but it will buy vegetables for other Army posts located in the terri tory, the farmers learned. For mai bids will be submitted later, and contracts will be awarded for vegetable purchases.
 In addition 10 Alaskan po- tatoes, now served in Army messhalls, the Army believes ii can utilize other locally grown vegetables as cabbage. carrots. celery. lettuce. beets. cauliflower. rutabagas. fur nips. green onions. radishes. spinach. green peas and rhu- barb.
 Last weeks meeting, called by representatives of the Quarter master Corps at Fort Richard son, was for the purpose of dis cussing Army requirements for each vegetable listed and to de- velop plans for increased pro- duction of the vegetables the Army wants.
 The minutes of that meeting, together with a letter listing needs of the Army for each pro- duct named and area needs for each product, will be mailed to any interested farmer. Requests for estimated price quotations also will be mailed to vegetable farmers. Other information con- corning the plan is available from Capt. John J. Mahoney, Quartermaster Supply Section, Alaska General Depot, Fort Richardson.
 Farmers pre- sent at last weeks meeting included:
 Mads Johannsen, Ray Rebar-
 chek. Virgil Eckert and Glen Woods. independent vegetable growers from the Valley: Mar

 Local OfContest

Cash prlZeS were recOmHe1lu- ed for local entrants in the na- tional contest sponsored by the Grange, an Arbor day was sug- gested as one method of interest ing the Valley in the Grange contest, and a possible fair ex- hibit was planned at the contest committee meeting Of the Grange held at the Roy Brock home last Saturday night.
 The Grange contest, which covers both roadside cleanup and home Identification, was discussed in detail. Members of the committee advanced several plans through which they hope to gain Valley cooperation for the contest.
 It will be recommended at the next Grange meeting that local prizes of money be offered for the three Valley farms showing the most improvement between the spring months and the Aug. 25 closing date of the local con- test.
 Awards will be made on the first day of the fair and excur- sions will be planned to take tourists to see prize-Winners in the Valley contest. A map of Valley farms was suggested as a possibility for part of the home Identification fair exhibit, as well as pictures showing the progress made by individuals.
 It was decided that the Cham Der of Commerce and the Val ley's Homemakers' clubs would be asked to push the project and keep it alive during the coming months.
 There was some discussion of a aHomemaker's club proposal to SOW poppy seeds as a part of the Identification project. Commit tee members suggested it might be better to SOW seeds of Alas ka's own flowers and shrubs.
 An Arbor Day was discussed as one means of securing commun- ity interest in the project. A committee of three, Mrs. Maude Hosler, Mrs. William Hoskins and Mrs. Vivian Goodrich, were named by committee chairman Tom Lepak to plan the Arbor Day. The committee selected May 16 as the Valleys date for Arbor Day, and will announce complete plans for the occasion - ln the near future.
 In general discussion of roadside cleanup, it was voted to ask Valley farmers to move fences back, so that Alaska Road Commission equipment can doze out the roots of brush thickets now growing along many fences
 There was some discussion o1 necessary reports for submission to national contest quarters. The need for "before and after" pic lures, to show results obtained was stressed. It was decided that these pictures must be enlarged to uniform size of 212 inches by 41A inches.

 Four sites are under con-
 sideration for the hospital.
 They are: A site al approxi-
