New Land Clearing Machines Available To Local Farmers

Two new machines designed to make land clearing easier and cheaper, will be used in the Ma tanuska Valley this year. Agri- cultural engineers at the Experi- ment Station hope they will do a better job of clearing land at a lower cost than methods now in general use. This will be the first time the machines have been used in the valley.
 A heavy-duty Rome disc har- row, similar to one used in the Fairbanks area, will be used to break ground after clearing. The harrow has eight 30-inch cut out discs and will take 35 to 45 HIP to do a maximum job. It will penetrate ground to a good depth and should do good job of cut ting roots
 Root picking always has been a chore where land has to be cleared for row crops. A root picker, designed and built in Canada, will be used to gather roots after breaking with the Rome disc or other breaking blow. Similar to the old-fashion- ed dump rake, it has teeth made from auto spring material. Can- adian reports indicate it has worked satisfactorily on land clearing work there.
 Both machines will be made available this year to selected valley farmers who have suitable areas for experimental work and who are interested in trying them on their land. It is anticipated that a number of public demon strations will be held on the farms of co-operators to show how the machines perform. Power will be furnished by the farmer. The Rome disc will rel quire the equal of a D-4 or lar ger tractor; the root picker, a Farmall H or larger.
 Anyone interested in cooperat- ing with the Experiment Station in using either or both machines this spring is asked to contact the district agricultural agent, Grayson PaD Murphy as soon as possible.

Fire Department To Assist HonleoWners N Fire Prevention

Effective April IS all grass and trash burning in Palmer will be limited to those persons who no- tify the City Fire Department of intention to burn. The an nouncement was made this week by Fire Chief Ray Lancaster who stated anyone wishing to burn is requested to call the City Clerks office, leave name and choice of burning day. We will supervise such burnings on Thursdays and Saturdays" Chief Lancaster Said. <
 The objective, he pointed out, is to keep up the present no- fire record and prevent property damage. With the exception of a chimney fire on January 2 of this year, there has been no property loss by fire within the city limits since August 2, 1854.
 Chief Lancaster stated that no refuse fires should be kindled less than 50 feet away from a building and such burning should be done in an incinerator. At the present time the fire department and Chief Lancaster are working on the problem of stump row and brush piles in the city and hope to have a solution as to how they may safely be burned, by next week.
 Persons living outside the city limits also are asked to exert great caution in burning.
 All persons interested in fire fighting and prevention are in- vited to attend regular meetings which will be held at the fire hall each Tuesday night at zoo pm.

MIA Sees Early Release Of Construction Funds

The area coverage design of the Matanuska Telephone Asso- citation sytsem went into the Washington office of REA this week, according to Lew Hanks, association chairman. Tt is pos sible that they will approve this design within ten day. If they dso the next step will be the re- lease of funds, which in turn will set off series of developments toward the construction of the system this summer, Hanks stated.
 As soon as funds are released the association will purchase the present telephone system from the City of Palmer. Last fall city voters approved the sale of the city system and voted fran chise to MTA.
 Also among first moves will be the preparation of contracts for construction. During the in terim period association board members are making progress to- ward the acquisition of space for exchange sub-stations. Build mgs will measure approximately 40 fit. by 70 ft. and will be lo- cated in Palmer, WaSilla, Sutton and Chugiak.
 Exchange names have been selected for each locality as fol- lows: Palmer, VALLEY; Sutton, ALPINE: Chugiak, MIDWAY, and Wasilla, FRONTIER.
 Hanks stated that authoriza- tion, to advance s$3.000 to the en- gineer was received, from REA last week. This is the first auth orization to make a payment that has been received from the Washington office.

Predicts Possible Food Cost Rise

Food prices in Alaska are fuc- tuating wildly again, according to news from the Alaska Agri- cultural Experiment Station. Prices rose moderately during the past three months at Ketchi- kan, iSitka and Juneau but con- tinued to drop at Palmer, Anch- orage and Fairbanks, according to the quarterly grocery survey conducted by the Station.
 Price changes seem to bear It. tie relation to recent changes in the national supply picture. Only coffee of the 30 foods priced dropped in all Alaskan cities. This confused situation may in dicate another general round of higher prices. This has occurred before under similar circumstan- ces, according to Hugh A. John son of the Experiment Station.
 | Interior cities of Palmer, An chorage and Fairbanks showed a continuing decline in grocery costs. However, the decline this quarter was smaller than for the September December quarter. This indicates that prices already have risen on some food items, he said. Average prices in southeastern cities increased O.3go at Ketchikan; 1.8B at Sitka and 5.4Ro at Juneau between De- cember IA, 1854 and March Is, 1855. The fact that the index

Hospital Committee
 Closes Out Account

The hospital fund campaign which began in November of 1851 was brought to conclusion this week when the final finan- cial statement of the Valley Hos pital Fund Committee was pre- sented and approved. The state ment was found to be in excel lent condition, according to George Small, Katheryn Wilson and Minnie Clark who approved the report.
 Ed Smith, chairman of the lengthy campaign, this week ex- pressed his personal thanks to the many individuals ,organiza- tions, churches, and concerns who contributed both time and money to raise total of $l9,- 5O6.8O.
 Fifteen thousand dollars of this total went into construction costs at the new hospital, and with the exception of $24.50, the balance was spent on construction of housing for the generator. The $24.50 will be used for the in stallation of a recognition plaque which will be installed in the hospital lobby. Each concern, or ganization, or individual who contributed $500 or more will be recognized on the plaque, accord ing to the order in which the funds were received.
 The committee was named over three years ago with Smith as chairman and Q. K. Kincaid as treasurer, who along with Jack Maze and Carl Meier, con- tributed the first five dollars each, opening the bank account. A kickoff dance netted $1,6OO and the Evan-Jones coal miners pledged $500. Since that time funds have ben raised by nearly every organization in the val ley. Contributions have come from many Stateside churches and firms and many individuals have made donations.
 When Kincaid resigned because of other work on the hospital construction, Hugh A. Johnson was named treasurer of the com mittee. In acknowledging the in valuable assistance given thro- ughout the campaign Smith es- pecially thanked the treasurers for their diligent work.
