FARMERS MARKET ASSN. PLANS FOR BIG SEASON IN 1852

Members of the Farmers Mar <et Association met last night at the Spring Creek Dairy Farm for their first meeting of 1852 to plan for their second season.
 The opening of the Farmers Market at its site across from the railroad depot on July 14 last year marked the first time in Alaska that farmers so organ ized to sell their own farm pro- ducts. The market was opened Saturdays and Sundays from that date until September IS, and dur ing that time the five to seven regular sellers and occasional group sellers grossed total ol $3,387O7 in sales, netting the as- sociation $238.47. All but $25 of this amount remains in the trea- sury to promote a better market this year.
 Saturday, July 12, is expected to be the opening date of the market this year. Howard Estelle was reelected president of the association at last nights meet ing, and Darrell Callison and Mrs. Richard Washburn will serve as vice president and secre- tary, respectively. Other direc- tors are Max Sherrod and Robert Lincoln.

The new Chirikof Island Cat tie Assn. slaughter house plan ned for early construction on Chirikof Island by Harry Ryan, Walter Cooper, and Charles Wal Ter will be the first approved slaughted house in the Territory under the new Territorial regula- tions, Commissioner of Agricul- ture Clyde Sherman told the Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
 He said that plans have already been approved by the Alaska De- partment of Health and the Com mission of Agriculture.
 Sherman reported no dissention among the Matanuska Valley Breeders Association members who heard him explain the new slaughtering regulations Tuesday night. The regulations, he said, apply only to meat sold through commercial channels in cities having ordinances requiring meat inspection. There is no Territorial inspection law. He said that the inspection service, which is ren- dered by the Territorial veterin- arians free of charge-at present, is also offered to farmers butch ering for private use and sales if they request it.
 Three years from now," the commissioner said, i've can prob ably write Bangs disease off the books"
 With the vaccination of calves, the regular testing of cattle, and quarantine to premises of all positive reactors it is expected that the disease will be non exis- tant by that time, Sherman said. Action by the breeders should lead to introduction into the Ter ritory of vaccinated heifers only.
 Contemplated Chamber action regarding the awarding of recom- bined milk contract for Ladd and Eielson AFB to the Information al Dairy of Oakland, California, fizzled out when wires were read from Generals William E.
