Building Is Begun
On First Section Of
Cars Springfield
By Robert J. Lewis

Five years ago, a group headed
by Edward r. Carr, one of
Washington's big operative
builders and developers and a
former president of the National
Association of Home Builders,
bought 1900 acres of land II
miles from Washington on the
route of the proposed Shirley
highway in Virginia.
The land had no easy access
ct that time, since Shirley
highway reached only as far as
darlington. Neither water nor
sewer lines were available on the
raw farm land.
Since then, the fast highway
has been completed, water lines
have been brought in, a five
mile trunk-line sewer will soon
be finished, a comprehensive
zoning plan for the entire area
has been approved, and the big

as Springfield-has started to

CONS STARVATION
 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

Once again it's harvest time. I've seen some nice looking hay crops being cut the last few days. Hay yields look good.
 l hope they are because there's a lot of cows to feed this winter. Remember pastures don't amount to anything before June 1st. It's a long time until green grass again. would like to put out a word of warning. If you have a good brome pasture now, pull the cows off from it. You can lose seventy-five percent of the stand by grazing it close now. Grass is just like any other living thing. It
 as to have some reserve left to survive the cold weather. Did you ever thing of trying to live out a winter with no bank roll and nothing coming in? Don't starve out your grass stand either. You'll need it worse next spring.
 MT. Harold Tower of the Soil Conservation Service regional of- flee at Portland is visitor to the Valley this week. He tells me that in the State the feed and grain goals set up by the U.S.D.A. were not met this year. That may mean a short supply of dairy feed and high prices this winter. The drought through the midwest and east didn't do any good either.
 The whole idea for us is to take care of all the feed we have. Put up all the silage you can. It makes better feed. Get that hay in as soon as it gets dry enough

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN COMMERCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS AT '52 FAIR

same building paled in competi- ton with this florid, personal ap- proach. Woodsy appeal plus per sonal approach plus interesting and worthwhile exhibits was composite keystone of the 3,000- visitor success checked in at the Division of Forestry cabin. As in past years, it was one of the most popular spots on the Fair Grounds.
 The best exhibit of the Twelfth Annual Matanuska Valley Fair was the Alaskan people who at tended. The throngs who plodded or slithered through mud, rain, and dampness with reckless gaiety and determined enthusi- asm deserved prize and they got it-a free gate on the final eve- ming to watch the Queen Prize drawings and the climactic dis play of fireworks Gin the rain).
 Spectacular, awe-inspiring and beauteous were the displays that followed in quick succession one after the other, for more than an hour and a half. The aerial dis plays could be seen for miles around. That the crowds stayed around in spite of cold drizzle was ample proof that Fair Board President Al Hagen's innovation this year was a good one. Re sponse of the Fairgoers to thls final treat undoubtedly convinced the Board that such big time at fractions will help the Matanus- ka Valley Fair to attain its right full place as one of the biggest an- nual attractions in the Territory.
