CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

wish to extend my apprecia- tion to MT. George Jackson, the Anchorage Chamber of Commer- ce and our merchants in the Rail- belt for the Potato Party" which they have started. I cannot think of a better way to publicize the potato market situation. The An chorage Times has also given the situation some very excellent pub licity.
 Our long growing season last year coupled with moderate in- crease in acreage combined to give us lot of spuds. There is a lot of money and a lot of poten- tial farm development tied up in that crop, also
 The eating quality of our pota- toes is fine this year. The long dry growing season along with dry storage has seemed to put out one of the best eating quality potato crops we have ever grown.
 We have responsibility as pro- ducers to make good to the public. They are buying our potatoes. We owe it to them to put only a top quality No. grade pack on the market Our Commissioner of Agriculture, Jim Wilson, and George CroWther, as inspector, are working hard to help us move this crop. By all working togeth- CT, I am sure, we can do it.

Home Demonstration News and Notes
By MarYlou Rideout

February's trio of holidays in- spires many homemakers to add little glamour touches to meals yet keep the budget smiling.
 For Lincoln's birthday serve an edible log-a jelly roll. (We're reminded Lincoln got his start in log cabin). For a realistic look ing log use chocolate roll recipe Available at the Extension Off, fice) filled with whip cream. To keep the cream fluffy for several hours add to it as you are beat ing, teaspoon unflavored gela- tine softened for five minutes in one tablespoon cold water. A roll of this kind is appropriate for Washington's birthday, too. Place slices on individual plates, with a hatchet made from rolled and cut cookies or pie crust (good if favored with grated cheese). Make tiny slit in center of log, and put in hatchet-and of course, have a cherry or two on the plate.
 For Valentines day, Say it with Cake"-individual heart shaped little cakes or cookies can be placed on a lace paper dolly. Frost small cakes with white frosting. and decorate edge with pink frosting from a cake decor ator. For variety, reverse the col or scheme. Or outline edge with red cinnamon candies or candy hearts and place candy motto heart in the center.
 Another idea-cut one layer cake into squares and cover with whipped cream and place a heart cut from clear red gelatine in the center of each. For the heart, mold gelatine in shallow sheet pan and when firm cut with heart shaped cookie cutter.
 Many more suggestions are available at the Extension office.

 The Cordovans who flew to Palmer for two double-header basketball games were feted and entertained throughout their stay by the local Moose lodge, Palmer Elks and many individuals. Their entertainment included lunch con, dinner, smorgasbord, dance and tours. Several Cordovans wis ited the Matanuska Ski club ski ing area Saturday afternoon.
 Although the local "gals" team lost their Saturday night game, they did defeat the Cordova girls on Friday night. The Palmer men took both games and all teams said they are looking forward to the next meet in Cordova in March.
 Famous for their hospitality, the Cordovans are planning big welcome for the Palmer crowd.
 Anyone who wishes to make the trip may contact Clare Stock or Harold Dunn at the Elks. Tick cts, which will run around $50 for the round trip, will be on sale in the city soon, they said. They are trying to fill three DC-3s Stock said. And from early in- dications ], it won't be. hard thing to do", he added. Planes will leave Palmer March and return on the 7th.

600 road radar sets designed to determine
speed of cars, for use by police or highway
authorities in nearly every state in the nation.
These radar sets are watching you from
time to time on practically every main high
