ALL POTATOES SOLD MUST BE LABELED

Potato growers are reminded by Jim Wilson, commissioner of agriculture, that the Alaska po- tato regulations require that all potatoes sold must be labeled to show the grade and the name and address of the grower or packer.
 The potato laws are for the protection of both the consumer and conscientious farmer who is putting up a good grade, he point ed out.
 The enforcement work of last year was largely responsible for the improved acceptance of AL aska potatoes last season, and we plan to increase our efforts in this work this season" Wilson stated.

M.T.A. Plans
 Membership Drive

The planned membership drive in the Matanuska Telephone As sociation, Inc, will get under way throughout the entire area next Monday morning, Lew Hanks, as sociation chairman announced this week.
 Headquarters for the drive will be the office next to the city clerk in the Wright Building. Anyone not contacted during the drive, who desires membership in the association, is invited to call at the office where a part-time en- ploye of the association will be on hand with application forms.
 Members of various Homemak- CTS clubs have agreed to make as many personal contacts as pos sible during the drive, selling both memberships and equity stock in the association. Equity stock will cost $50, including the S1O membership fee, Hanks said. It will be necessary for the as sociation to raise S16,650 before REA funds can be released for construction.
 Word of approval of the S567,- 900 REA telephone loan was re- ceived by MTA July 29, culminat- ing many months of ground work, This is the first loan of it's type in the territory and will establish the pattern for future loans, E. C.. Weitzell, chief of telephone oper- ations and loan division of the Rural Identification Administra- ton who visited Palmer shortly after the loan was approved.
 The new system will be com- pletely modern dial type, with coverage from Sutton to Chugiak, including Wasilla, Palmer, and the Butte area. The system win be built from the central office out and it is important, Hanks pointed out, that the needed equity stock be purchased now to secure adequate funds to as sure improved service to the many areas.
 All money collected in this first phase of the project will go into special fund to act as a guar antee of faith to REA for the tele- phone loan.

Tobacco Variety
Survey Underway

a Tobacco Variety Performance
survey is being conducted in CO.
lumbus County to determine how
various varieties compared in
yield and value during 1854 on
tobacco farms.
AS many farmers as possible are
being contacted so that the infor-
nation gathered will represent a
stable portion of the tobacco
grown in the county. Growers are
being asked what total yield and
value he received from each var
iety he grew in 1854.
Cards are being sent to a rep
resentative group of growers in
the county and the growers who
receive cards are urged to fill
out the card accurately and re-
turn it to the county agents of
flee. Everyone who receives a
card should send it in regardless
of whether his yield is low or
high. This is essential if the sum-
mary of the variety data is to
represent the actual performance
of a given variety in the county

and state.
This information is also being
accumulated by other counties
and a summary of the County
Belt, and State results will be a.
valuable for growers to see as
soon as it has been summarized.
Also there is considerable int
crest in curing information and
the possibility of securing variety
information from records that are
being made for other purposes.
