To Test New Markets For Alaska Berries

New markets for Alaska's wild berries will be tested in 1856, according to H. P. GaZa- way, economist at the Alaska Agricultural Experimnt Station. Lingerberries- wild low bush cranbeTy-will be air-ship- ped from the Kokhonak Bay re- zion, he said.
 The venture was first tried in 1854 and repeated in 1855. The berries sold from 49 to 69 cents a pound with pickers receiving 30 to 45 cents a pound, providing Bristol Bay Natives with snueh needed source of income.
 Mrs. Denton R. Moore, wife of the U. s. Commissioner at Kok- honak Bay, took charge at the shipping point, advising plckers on shipping time and condition requirements, pricing, and pack aging. Pacific Northern Airlines offered special air freight rates and pickup service. Carr's Food Centef in Anchorage halped with pricing, display, and merchandis ing. Home Demonstration Agents of the University of Alaska Ex- tension Service provided public ity and recipes.
 This is a prime example of producers, retailers, and govern ment specialists working together to create an Alaskan industry ' Gazaway said.
 The possibility of selling ling enberries in exclusive food spec ialty stores in the States is being investigated he said. "A Seat tie store of this type will market a demonstration shipment next season.
 Experiments with finger berry ice cream will also be made. Preliminary tests show that such unique, Alaskan pro- duct might be developed which could have wide appeal, especial ly during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.
 Experiment Station researches will experiment with wild berry harvesting methods next sum-
The frontiersman., 1956-02-02

mer Dr. Richard Foley, Station horticu1turdst, believes that the cranberry scoop and small port able cleaning machine will speed up picking and cleaning of in- genberries, reducing the retail price to 25 to 40 cents per pound.
 Arrangements have been made with F. l.. McConkey, ANS tea cher at Sleetmute, for the experi- mental marketing of a Native gathered shipment of wild blue berries next summer.
 We have an excellent natural resource in Alaska's wild ber- ries," said Gazaway. We need a home industry to supply income to residents in areas where the berries flourish. By working to- gether on the problem believe that we can develop a plan that will benefit everybody concerned our rural people, city retailers, consumers"

"Don't" Is a Useful Word

Let's look at this little. For one
thing, it must be remembered that
the Ten Commandments, as they
are called, were not invented by
Moses or first revealed to him. We
know that centuries before Moses,
wise men were saying it already,
and it is pretty safe to suppose
that most people knew it,-namely
that stealing and killing and adult
cry are wrong. The reason Moses
gave the Ten Commandments was
not that either he or God had just
discovered them. These Command
ments came out in their present
form COR possibly a shorter form,
enlarged later for the benefit and
guidance of a very primitive peo-
pie, just out of slavery where they
and their forefathers had been for
generations. For people like that
Don't" is easier to understand
than DO" A little child can be
saved from being hurt or killed just
by learning the meaning of the lit
tie word NO Don't is a useful
word 1t is simpler, too, to say
Don't than DO" Learning to do
well takes time, and brains too
You don't have to learn to stop
You don't have to be a brain" to
stop doing wrong. So the Ten Com
mandments begin at the right end
the simple end. Thou shalt not -
or Don't" in other words, is not
the whole of what goodness means;
but it is a good place to begin
