Dr. Allan Mick, speaking as Director of Extension discussed the pro- blem of rural leadership and out lined the role the University of Alaska is attempting to play in developing such leadership. James Hurley, Manager of ARRC pointed out that inhabitants of the Territory should not be over looked as a resource.
 Also speaking on the panel dis cussion of agriculture was INC. Anderson of the Farm and Home Administration and George Cas- ser, former Commissioner of Agriculture for Alaska. Ander- sons talk on beef livestock poten- talites in Alaska, particularly in the range lands of the islands, was very interesting, as were Gasser's comments on the his torical significance of agriculture in Alaska.

FARMERS' MARKET TO REMAIN OPEN
 AFTER LABOR DAY

The Farmers Market will be open Saturday, Sunday, and Mon day this Fair weekend.
 Contrary to earlier announce ment, the market will be open after Labor Day on Saturdays, and, if profitable, on Sundays. Because the local season has been late this year, many Valley vege- tables are just nearing their peak this week, as September approa- ches. As long as the vegetables last and there's enough local trade to warrant it, the market will remain open on Saturdays.
 Next year the Farmers Market Association hopes to move to a site on the highway, near enough to Palmer to make it convenient for the city residents and yet more readily available to interest ed tourists who might have diff ficulty in locating the market at its present site. Sellers believe the market would attract more at- tention on the highway and that sale will be better. Anyone hav- ing suitable land for this project is asked to contact Howard Es- telle.
 Marketmaster T. A. Mover re- ports that the assocation member ship has grown in the past few weeks. New regular seller is Mrs. Charles Schaefer. New occasional sellers are Mrs. I. M. Sandvik and Mrs. Francis Henry.
 Valley vegetables will be at their peak this weekend. It is expected that more broccoli, car rots, turnips, potatoes, lettuce and cabbage will be offered than can possibly be sold. Expected in the near future is a good supply of tomatoes, something there have been calls for all summer. Sellers are taking orders now for carrots, turnips, and broccoli for storage and freezing. Many beautiful flowers are being offered for sale.

Growing importance of All project work in the Valley will be demonstrated at the Fair this year in 24 classes of exhibits, 12 demonstrations, and in a poultry judging event
 Excellence of All Club entries will be more apparent this year through an innovation in exhibit display. Instead of having all 4 H classes exhibited together in a separate building, the several classes will be shown separately in display areas side by side with adult exhibits. Thus the All sew ing and clothing exhibits will be seen in Quonset 2 along with adult exhibits Handwork Depart ment; the food and baking exhib- It's as we'll as the All demonstra- tons will be found in Quonset 4 along with the exhibits of the Culinary Department; All agri- cultural exhibits and canning will be shown in Quonset 10 along with the Vegetables and Grasses and Home Canning Departments; All cattle and swine exhibits will be in the barn along with the other livestock exhibits.
