CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By LEW HANKS

The nice soft weather we've had sort of reminded me of spring. l even got stuck in the mud. It brought back that old familiar feeling. The muddy roads reminded me of the snow drifts fought last winter. re- member the story about the fam fly that went out to dinner last winter and stayed a week. There are things we can do about drif: ing snow though.
 MT. Onkka of the Alaska Road Commission tells me they would be very glad to see farmers es- tablish their windbreaks and fences back from the property lines. This would then keep the snow from drifting over them. Then we could farm the field out side the Windbreak clear out to the road ditch. Even though the road commission has the job of keeping the roads open, we have to use them to get to town. Any thing we can do to help is to our advantage.
 MT. Onkka also tells me of a new type of snow fence being used some in the tates. It is es- sentially a l" by g. board set horizontally about 8 inches above the ground. Under some condi- tions it causes a double drift 70 form and is pretty effective snow catcher.
 How it would work here in our MatanuSka winds I don't know.

near normal precipitation was re ceived. In the Matanuska Valley. September was one of the wettest months on record. Relatively high temperatures and excessive moisture during that period caused severe sprouting of cere-
 als. In some instances the grain was observed to grow as it stood in the field. Much early-cut and shocked grain sprouted to the ex- tent that the shocks became green. 1t is felt that the use of combines and drying equipment would do much to reduce or pre- vent losses such as were sustained this year. During the two years that the combine harvester has been used at the Experiment Station at Fairbanks in conjunc- ton with drying equipment, ce- real grain harvesting has been accomplished quite satisfactorily

 Engineer Visits PcImer

 Carroll is a telephone engineer employed by the Alaska Tele- phone Company. With him here was Bert Proctor, a salesman for Harper Magee CO, producers of automatic telephone equipment. The two men talked with mem bers of the city council who were hastily called together by tele- phone committeeman Lloyd Sev- ernS.
 The Claud Carols are in the spud-nut business in Fairbanks, Carroll reported. He said that the Sherman Crosbys want to sell out their spud-nut business in Juneau and return to Palmer.

 Tn another test where straw yield comparisons could be made, Climax oats was found to be su- perior for this characteristic. For the coming season. the Experi- ment Station is recommending either Climax or Victory oats for forage. For grain, Golden Rain, Gopher. and Climax will be rec commended. Average yields per bushel in seven Matanuska Val ley locations was 73.4 for Golden Rain, 65.8 for Gopher, and 62.9 for Climax.
 New Wheat Disappointing
 Wheat tests showed that Kho- got Standard for comparison) was exceeded in most tests for grain yield by a later-maturing, experimental variety which is still unavailable commercially.
 Saunders, the new wheat va riety released in Canada thIs year, although promising in early observations did not come up ec expectations, Dr. Litzenberge" said. It headed earlier than Kho- got but ripened later. The only place where Saunders appeared to be promising was in the Ga kona-Big Delta Section-close 70 Canada. In that area the results from. Saunders were comparable to those obtained from Khogot. Comparison of yields from seven locations in the Matanuska Val ley showed an average of 26.2 bushels per acre for Khogot and l9.6 bushels for Saunders.
 Alaskan Grains Superior
 According to results obtained on chemical analyses during the past two years, Alaskan farmers should be encouraged to produce all the grain feed necessary. Ac- cording' to Dr. Litzenberger, the data show that Alaskan grains are generally superior in digesti- ble nutrients or feed value to shipped-in grains.
 Drying Equipment Helps
 The 1851 Valley crop was gen. orally favorable, although the season was very dry during crop establishment and early growth, and very wet during the fall. AL though some precipitation was received from late June on, it was not until September that

New Grain Varieties Live Up to Expectations in 1951 Performance

m response 10 a request Tor ln- formation on 1851 performance of Edda barley and Golden Rain oats, two new cereal varieties rec commended for the Territory this year by the Alaska Experiment Station, Dr. s. C. Litzenberger in charge of cereal crops in the stations Agronomy Department reporter this week that they did all right.
 Results obtained in Uniform Cereal Variety Trials from IF To- cations throughout the Territory this year showed that the varie- ties lived up to expectations gained from experimental trials by the station for several years previous to their recommenda- ton. Of the IT farmers cooperat- ing in the trials, two were from the Kenai Peninsula, two from the Chugiak Anchorage area, one from the Copper River Valley. four from the Panama Valley, ana nine from the Matanuska Valley,
 Comparisons were made for maturity, straw strength, disease reaction, plant height, test weight per bushel, and grain yields per acre.
 Edda Barley Outstanding
 Considering all factors, Dr. Litzenberger said, Edda barley was outstanding in performance at all locations. Compared with Olli (the standard for compari- son), Edda yielded 18 percent more in the Matanuska Valley, IT percent more in the Tanana Valley, 33 percent more in the Copper River Valley, and 66 per cent more on the Kenai Penin- sula. Hulless Markhinetz (the va riety imported from Sweden by Art Thompson) and Trapmar (19b) were highly inferior to the hulled varieties. The only advan- tage of these two varieties ap- pears to be their hulless charac- teristis, the agronomist said.
 The average yield in bushels per acre from seven locations in the Matanuska Valley was 5O.1 for Edda, 42.5 for Olli, and 29.9 for Trapmar.
 Golden Rain Oats
 Newly released Golden Rain oats continued to perform well throughout the Territory. It sig nificantly exceeded the slightly later maturing variety Climax in grain yield in the Panama and Matanuska Valleys by 8.7 and 1O.5 bushels per acre, respective ly. Gopher, although normally lower yielding than Climax anG Golden Rain, this year exceeded
