Spot Checks Show Local Eggs
 Of Good Quality

The Department O. Agriculture has been making spot checks of egg quality on both local and out side eggs, according to a report in the current Alaska Market News, department publication. As a whole, local eggs have been of good quality, though considerable variation in size was found.
 Alaskans must make every ef- fort to maintain the highest of standards, Jim Wilson, commis- sioner of agriculture stated. If we cannot offer a premium quality product consistently, our advan- tage in the market is lost, lie ad- ded. This point was brought out when quality checks of both air borne and express eggs showed some being very good.
 The department is planning to bring an egg specialist from the Agricultural Marketing Service early next summer to consult with producers and the depart ment on egg marketing problems. Meetings with poultrymen will be arranged and individual farms will be visited.
 Potatoe Crop Half Sold
 The 1954-55 potato marketing year is half gone, the report stated, with about half the An chorage area-Matanuska Valley crop sold and three quarters of the remaining marketable pota- toes committed on army contract. Of an estimated 4,400 tons of table stock potatoes, 2,O85 tons were delivered prior to March 10 and 2,315 tons remained in storage for future delivery. Upwards to 1900 tons are on military con- tract. Potatoes held for the civil ian market should be gone by early summer, it was reported.
 In the Panama Valley approxi- mately 55 percent of the 1860 tons of table stock potatoes have been moved to market. Only about 730 tons remain in storage for future delivery with practical 1y all of this committed to miIit- ary contracts. Grade out this year IS around 20 to 25 percent.
 Potato planting intention re- ports for 1855 show that with s percent of the 1854 growers re- porting Matanuska Valley grow CTS plan about 13 percent more potatoes in 1855 than in 1854. The market for Alaskan grown posa- toes has been increased by over 70 percent since 1851. Anchorage area growers have indicated they plan about 62 percent more acre ] age and the Panama Valley grow CTS about 9 percent more.
 Present market prices for localt potatoes are listed at 99 cents per 10 pound bag; $139 per 15 pound 1 bag, and 08 per pound, per 10O- [ pounds. These are number enc potatoes,

Reds oppose free German elections in Septmber

GENEVA (P) The Western Big Three asked Russia today to agree to free nationwide German elections next Septem ber as a forerunner to reunifi- cation but ran into a Soviet stone wall.
 Soviet foreign minister Molo- tov. confronted with the new Western plan at today's Big 4 session, reiterated his demand that representatives from com munist East Germany and the Bonn Republic be summoned to discuss the reunification pro- blem with the four ministers.
 He said today's Western plan for elections to precede uniflc- ation of Germany failed to conform" to the foreign minist- er's directive from the summit conference of last July.
 The elections would, accord ing to this proposal. choose an Alderman national assembly which would draft a new con stitution for the entire country and name new government to replace the existing regimes at Bonn and Berlin.
 The new All German govern mant would then negotiate a general peace settlement with the victors in World War II.
 U. 5. secretary of state John Foster Dulles, British foreign secretary Harold MacMillan and French foreign minister Antoine Pinay introduced their joint project as a companion piece to the Western proposal on European security filed last week.
