Matanuska Valley and Anchorage and Homer areas contain nearly half the school population at the present time.
 Tt seems to me that we should provide such an institution here, rather than to send students to Fairbanks or to the several col leges in the States at the extra cost to families striving to build homes.
 Agricultural College Essential
 Our university does not and cannot offer a suitable course in agricultural studies at low cost necessary to attract our farm boys or girls-agronomy, horticulture, dairying and animal husbandry, soil science, and numerous short courses suitable to our needs that could be offered here, Snodgrass said.
 ''The center of the dairy indus try is here. Also we have the Ex- pertinent Station already estab- lished, the regional Agricultural Research Laboratories built and in operation, with personnel suit ed to part-time instruction in such

Palmer Prepares For Action In cIeon-Up Week

Palmer is polishing up in pre- parations for cleanup week May 14-25, sponsored by the Health Ccnncil.
 We want a slogan, something like Make Palmer the Cleanest City in Alaska" Eugene Kirsch, chairman, announced.
 Stores, clubs, school and organ izations are cooperating in the drive.
 The Kiwanis Club and the Chamber of Commerce are offer ing prizes for posters by pupils of the Palmer school. Poster dead Sine is May II, and selected ones will go on display during clean up week.
 I've all admit Palmer needs cleaning up and this is our chance to do something about it," Kirsch said.

COURT ORDER Oh INCORPOR DUE MONDAY

Palmer should have it's yes or no decision on incorporation next Monday.
 ! On that day, Harold Butcher, attorney for the prospective city to-be, will present his petition asking the court to legally create the City of Palmer. Butcher, just returned to Anchorage from a case in San Francisco, had hoped for action today, but Judge Di- mond is in Cordova Friday and Saturday.
 However, fast action is expect ed Monday, and on Tuesday mem bers of the council-elect will meet for their first official action.
 Talk about protest on the in- corporation to date has been only talk, with no formal action filed.
 Some ballots which were ques- toned have been examined. Most were improperly marked.
 Butcher said he will recom- mend the IA under question be disallowed. But in that event, the cast-out ballots would only in- crease the majority voting for in corporation.
 Immediate Problems
 The new city fathers admitted they are suffering labor pains.
 First problem confronting them is one of organization. Who will they elect mayor? And then what?
 Impatient citizens are flooding the council-elect with demands and complaints. There are hints of disagreement in the council manic ranks. But most of the councilmen appear to be united on what the city-to-be needs. hi tial steps on how to try to get financial aid, have been taken.
 Butcher, as legal consultant, will meet with the council early next week.

Farmers Market Association Formed
We Want to Live

Rare privilege in health security is offered to the men, women and children of the Motonusko Vol- ley in the tests and vaccinations made available this week through the Health Council in Palmer
 One test is for tubercuoss-the other for typhoid 1.-two dread enemies to persons of all ages and all walks of life.
 Giving their time and services for this public vice are doctors and nurses who trying to teach the public the value of early detection and the means of preventon and the stoffs who work behind scenes avoiding IneIight seeking no glory, doing job which may not pay off in money but will pay off in lives saved
 The opportunity to take the tests has been vide y pubIicized. The response was not too happy Most school children with written permission from their par ents went through the simple procedure the par ents in many cases did not. In failing to do they have not calculated the risk to their own health.
 Perhaps too few of us realize the privilege of hov- ing expert medical service and diagnosis available during set perod Perhaps too many of US say This is just another drive"
 Certainly, it is drive-to save health and lives
 Certainly, it is drive to give to US the opportun- ity and privilege of the specialized services of health experts whose time must be budgeed into weeks, days and hours
 Certainly it is drive for our health protection Let all accept this opportunity and in so doing help safeguard ourselves families, our community our nation.

BUILDING SITE BEING CHOSEN; BYLAWS PREPARED FOR VOTE

Hall a nundred men and WOm- en are making history in the Mat anuska Valley today.
 They met last Wednesday night in the Grange Hall in Palmer and voted to form the Farmers Mar ket Association, Inc, to offer to consumers on retail basis the produce they raise and the wares they make.
 Big problems confront them - site of the market, rentals, by laws, election of officers, admin istration. These will be discussed next Tuesday night, May 1, when everyone interested is invited to meeting at 8 pm. in the Coop clubroom.
 The meeting last Wednesday moved swiftly under Miss Flor ence Eby, R. N., who had spurred the idea, was elected temporary chairman, and agreed to serve as market master for the first year without pay.
 Site Offered
 With time short to get into op- eration as the growing season rap idly approaches, the problem of where to locate the market so it will be accessible to tourists, and regular customers, sheltered from wind, dust and sun, with am- pie parking space for farmers and customers, was judged of primary importance.
 Several sites have been offered, free of charge. A committee of three was appointed to consider possible locations. On the com mittee are Howard Estelle, chair man, Roy Brock and Mrs. Lloyd Short. They will report their find ings at the next meeting and de- cision then will be made so work on building the booths may be started at once.
 Among the sites offered are:
 l. The Coop grounds, adja- cent to the administration build ing.
 2. The Corporation Alaska Farm Rehabilitation across from the fair grounds.
 3. Ev Yohn, next to the Val ley Grocery.
 4. Al Saxton, triangular space on the highway next to Estelles.
 5. Virgil Eckert, next to the Miller road. "..::
 6. The Valley Cleaners on ad- joining space.
 Choice of sites is not limited to these locations. The commit tee, so it was voted, is free to find and recommend other loca- tions on which members will vote. Materials Donated
 Building materials have been contributed and are available the minute the location is picked and volunteer labor will put up the market, Miss Eby reported.
 Among contributors are: Sam Johnson, 60 poles for uprights for the stalls; Slim Hayes $20 for 2 x As; Vic Vukornick, Goat Creek Lumber Mill, all other lum- Der necessary to complete the ( Continued on Page 12)

The farmer should be educated
to the fact that he is not only a
producer but a merchant and bust
nessman as well, for he sells his
products and receive cash there
for. With this cash he purchases
mot merely the necessities of life,
as was true in the old days when
his products were bartered, but
today money can be realized
through agriculture to provide
many luxury items.
If private interests do not take
steps to enhance, the cultivation

Government should enact legisla-

ISLANDS N

completely ignoring the laws OF
supply and demand?
I have heard the complaint that
native farm hands will not work.
This raises the question: rs it
that they will not work or is it
that they will not work for the
prevailing wager" If the charge is
true, that the natives will not
work, why not import farm hands
from the neighboring British is
lands. It has been done success
fully in the past. Many of the
lSouthern and even Northern
states in the United States are do
ing so today on a periodic, con-
tract basis. 1t is far better to Gull
tivate the land at any cost and al
low it to yield abundantly, there
by supplying the needs Of the
people at home and abroad, and
thereby raise badly needed rev.
enue to help make the islands self
sustaining.
1t must be noted that instead of
the latter, the Virgin Islands are
carrying on a successful import
trade with neighboring Tortola
and perhaps other British is
lands, buying the very items
which they refuse to grow in suf-
ficient quantity. This trade, how
ever small, weakens the economy
of the islands and prevents them
from becoming self-SuStaining.
Unless this occurs, the stigma of
a Poor House." as the islands
were once referred to, will never
be removed.
A condition similar to that of
farming exists in the fishery.
There was a time when every
table in the fish market was oc-
cupied and sellers we're forced to
use the ground outside. In con-
junction with this there were sell
ers who went through the streets
in order to serve special custo-
mers and take advantage of sales
from persons who did not patron
'ize the market. Morning fish
which could be had for warm
lunch is practically nonresident
and the afternoon fish supply has
'dWindled to a mere trickle.
Fish is being brought to Chris
-iansted from Frederiksted by

There is a marked difference in
the quantity, variety and quality
of farm products which are
brought to market by the local
farmers today, compared to those
marketed fifteen or twenty years
ago, or perhaps even less. One
does not have to strain the me-
mory to bring back recollections
of the old market located between
King and Company Streets, or
even for several years after it
moved to its present location. At
that time a large variety of fruit
and vegetables were brought to
town by the CARLOAD. The large
and small farmer and even the
sharecropper were represented in
the sale and display of their pro-
ducts.
Among the items which were
abundant and inexpensive were
mangoes, bananas, oranges,
plumS; papayas, yams, sweet po-
tatoes, sugar cane, soup greens
and a vast number of others, too
numerous to mention. The selling
price was within the reach of all
but above that, there was a spirit
of fidelity which existed between
seller and buyer. At the close of
the days business there was gen.
eral content and what the farmer
had left was either sold very
cheap or given away. The spirit
and attitude of the people of those
yesterdays are easily contrasted
with today's when far less than
half the quantity of fruit and We
getables are available for sale and
at prices far beyond the reach of
the average purchaser.
One may readily ask what has
happened to the production. of
farm products. The land is still
there and with proper care and
fertilization, coupled with new
improved scientific methods S,
should yield more and better
crops. Is it to be concluded then,
that the responsibility for the pre-
sent chaotic condition rests with
the farmers? Are they interested
only in producing sufficient food
to satisfy their own greedy fnan-
cial aims, allowing the balance of
the land to become barren and

motor transport. To this there is
no objection butt the question is
again asked: isn't the sea around
the Christiansted area yielding
any more fish or are there no
more sea-faring men on indivi-
duals who choose to earn a living
as fshermen?"
The Virgin Islands are fortu-
nate because of their geographic
location and the climate, to be in
IA position to grow fruit and ve-
getables in abundance and in
large variety and to be able to
catch fish in like manner. In
many cities in the United States
and Europe the people have never
seen nor heard of many of the
fruit, vegetables and fish that are
common to Virgin Islanders. In
New York City mangoes are sold
as high as twenty-five to fifty
cents each; ALLIGATOR pears cost
as much as seventy-five cents
each; the price of pineapple is also
high and so it is with all tropical
fruit. We're these items grown in
the Islands today as abundantly
as they were years ago, a market
could undoubtedly be found for
them in the United States with
little loss due to spoilage, because
of the comparative short time
necessary for transportation. The
Islands have an unknown poten-
tial which should be exploited by
the inhabitants. This, if not done
voluntarily, should be brought
about by legislation.
The fishermen cannot be forced
to go to sea but they can be en-
|couraged. Modern fishing methods
such as r being successfully
employed in the United States
and other countries, should be in
troduced. Financial aid, if neces-
sary, should be given by the Gov
eminent with the recipient repay
ing in full with moderate interest
any OF all sums with which he
was credited.
The farmer, through legislation,
should be made to cultivate the
land to such an extent that it
would yield sufficient food to sup
ply local needs as well as for ex-
port to continental United States,
or reasonable taxation imposed
upon undeveloped land. This
would bring an end to barren, I'm
cultivated land and would place
the Islands in a position to pro-
duce more food, for, lest we for
get, agriculture is considered the
worlds most important business.
Every effort must and should be
made to encourage cultivation Of

TEXAS FARMER REPORTS:
q better tread for traction

TDWIN B. FENSKE farms 156 acres on Route D.
IL Reisel, Texas. About 10 acres are in cultiva.
ton with the balance in pasture and woodland:
The principal crops are corn, cotton, hegari and
millet. For some time the farm has been part Of
the soil conservation program of the Bushey Creek
Watershed area.
One tractor equipped with B: F. Goodrich tires
provides the power used for breaking and bedding
land, discing, narrowing, harvesting and the usual
farm routines. MI. Fenske believes that the B. F.
Goodrich Power-Curve tread is the best tread ever
designed for traction He points out that the tread
cleans ITSELF in black land such as that on his
farm. When blowing teraced land with one wheel
running in mud or water, Mr.. Fenske says he still
gets plenty of traction:
That's because these tires have an open-center
tread with king-size, tapered Power-Curve cleats.
Because these high ceats are pointed with an
arrowhead nose to bite in, because the tread has
cured cleats that stand rgid-you get full fractions
That means traction in reverse as well as forwards
And the whole tread is flexible because of the
oPen-center design The tread g0e as the tire rolls.
Mud and dirt drop out.
Power-Curve tires stay clean. Clean tires pull
better For both better traction and longer wear.
BIG tires have ceats that are actually higher in the
center than those of.the other two leading makes:
No wonder these tires outpuled and outwore other
makes in tests in all parts of the country.
You'll save if you replace your worn tires with
B. Goodrich Power-Curve tires. The B. i Coodyicb
