NOTES FROM YOUR
 EXTENSION SERVICE

~~~
MarYlou Rideout. Home Demonsfraflon Agent

If you visited the Extension of flee during December you would have found the two agents busy with paper work. The Extension year ends Nov. 30, and annual reports are due in December. These reports include a plan of work for 1856, narrative report and a statistical report. All three are available for you to read in the Palmer office and copies of these reports are sent to the Uni versity office and to Washington, D. C. These reports are for all taxpayers to read, and also those who have charge of the Extension program and the appropriated funds.
 Here are some statistics which will tell you what your Extension office did in '55. There were 500 farm or home visits made. 2,663 office callers; 669 phone calls; 59 radio broadcasts, television pro- grams and 4,748 bulletins distri- buted. In Home Demonstration work, 10 training meetings were held for local leaders with the attendance of BPS. The agents participated in 190 meetings with attendance of 4,950. And perhaps, best of all. is the number of

meetings with attendance of A. 950 And perhaps. best of all, is the number of meetings conduct ed by local leaders. There were Al such meetings with the at tendance of 2,0I6. Next week, a summary of All club work for 1855 will be given.
 Christine Heller, former Alaska Extension Service food resources specialist, is now head of the foods and nutrition department of the University of Utah.
 Miss Heller sent her new ad- dress which is 47 South 9th Street East, Salt Lake City, Utah. In her letter Miss Heller wrote she had completed her work in nu- triton at Cornell University for her doctor of philosophy degree.

SCIENTIST URGES EXTENSIVE
 RESEARCH IN ALASKA AGRICUL LURE

new research is highly essential to furnish technical guides"
 The soil scientist repeated his findings about Alaska's cool cli- mate and soil, infertile but high iy manageable soils, and advan- tages in cereal production, pota- toes, vegetables, peas and early maturing fruits.
 Scarseth ended his "Chemurgic Research" article with this pre- diction: We could have the wis dom of Seward for our future if comprehensive and extensive research program were to be started now in Alaska to provide the information needed for a sound development of such vast land. Alaska lies ready to serve man in big way when man learns how to do it"
The frontiersman., 1956-01-26

The fast growing population of the states and Alaska will soon need the farming potentials of AL aska, Dr. George D. Scarseth wrote in an article for "Chemur- gic Digest.
 Scarseth visited major agricul- tural sections last summer dur ing his second trip to Alaska. He is director of research for the American Farm Research Asso- citation. Alaskans will greet him again when he arrives for Farm Forums to be held in Fairbanks and Palmer in late February and early March.
 "A Bird's-eYe Look at Alaskan arning Potentials" is the title of Scarseth's article. Tn if he es- inmates there are 38 million acres for farming potentials with less fhan one-half million acres now unoer a farm title.
 As he did at the 1854 Farm Forum, Scarseth expressed ad- mi-ation for the homesteaders. He wrote, '4The pioneering spirit is strong in the families develop ing the farms of Alaska. Free land" is not free land by 1855 standards. The land requires an investment of nearly $200 per acre for clearing and fertilizers before it can become productive. Therefore, to settle a tract of land by ancient homestead laws, to develop roads and schools too while grubbing out the brush and sturnps is quite an undertaking and as far from an attractive pro- position. Try to think how this can be done without adequate capital"
 Scarseth warned, to go to AL aska to arm a-la-U.S. methods is unwise. The University of Alaska and the Alaska Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station must serve as the guides, because particular

LANCER DEGREES
Hearing Leak

Senator LANCER, Republican of
North Dakota, today introduced
q resolution to end secret testi-
mony BY Secretary OF State
Dulles before the entire Senate
Foreign Relations Committee be-
cause. he said. what happened
at such a meeting last week APP
peared today in a newspaper
column.
Under the LANCER resolution
II the secretary or his aides
wanted to give confidential tes-
timony, hereafter 1t could be
given only to a bipartisan board
of two high-ranking Democrats
and two high-rankipg Republic
cans on the committee.
Senator Langer's resolution
was prompted b va Drew Pear
son column. The Senator said
Mr.. Pearson rendered a great
service by reporting the state
ments made to him.
But Senator LANCER said II
must be apparent that a Senator
divulged the information, and he
denounced as a traitor" and
spy" any Senator who reveals
what was reported in such q
session ofthe Foreign Relations
Committee.
In my opinion, hanging is toe
good for a Senator who would
betray his colleagues. the soldier
boys and the people of this coun-
try" Senator LANCER continued
Had I the power, would tear
out his tongue by the roots"

he was giving neither assent nor

Neither ! nor. to my knowl-

Itiently" until February IS before
saying anything about his 1856
plans. The New Hampshire filing

what he would do II Mr.. Eisen-
hover doesn't announce his in
tentions by February Is, the
Senate Republican leader said.
We'll cross that bridge when
we come to it."
Senator Knowland was asked,
too. about the possibility that
Chief Justice Earl Warren. a fell
low Californian, might be per-
|suaded to reverse his "irre-
vocable" decision to stay out Of

Justice Warren usually means
what he says. Senator Knowland

think the G.. o. p. nominating
convention could draft the JUS
Itice in view Of his announced
stand.
