Specia|Mik Program Extended 10 7en

Delegate E. L. Bartlett was ad- vised this week in radiogram from Acting Secretary of Agri- culture Earl l.. Butz, that the special milk program is being ex- tended to Alaska.
 The message to Bartlett read.
 I am pleased to advise you that the special milk program is being extended to the Territory of Alaska. Recent studies com pleted by Territorial officials and the Department indicate that the objectives of the program will be served by extending it to schools and child-care institu- tions in Alaska. Arrangements will be concluded with Territor- ial officials for the inauguration of the program as rapidly as pos sible.''
 Bartlett said he has been work ing with Commissioner of Educa- ton, Don Dafoe, John Dapcevieh, chief accountant for the Depart ment of Education, and Territori- al Commissioner of Agriculture James Wilson, in seeking to have the Department extend the pro gram to the Territory Primarily intended to reduce milk surplus es, the law provides that surplus milk will be purchased by the government for use in schools and other institutions.
 The extention of the program to Alaska has been sought for the past several months. In April of this year II. P. Gazaway Of the Alaska Agriculture Experiment Station, in cooperation with the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co operating Association ands tle Seward Dairy conducted survey in the Palmer and Seward sch ools to determine what influence a lower price on milk would have on the consumption. Without ex- eeption the response was greater than had been anticipated Find ings from this survey were turn ed over to the Territorial Edu- cation Department and the Sec retary of Agriculture in Wash ington, D. C. The local Chamber of Commerce sent letters urging that the program, in force thro- ughout the States, be extended to Alaska.

COZ CTO SPONSOR STREET PAVING FORUM
PUBLIC TO BE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE

Following talk by Mayor Charles ". Wilson, members of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce this week author ized the executive committee to set up plans for a public forum at which the proposed paving of city streets will be discussed and any questions that residents have presented to 3 panel at the meet ing.
 Mayor Wilson pointed out that only about 10 or Is percent of the eity's eligible voters turned out at the recent election during which S200,0 900 bond issue pro- posal was presented. Eighty-five percent of the voters either did not understand the proposal or didn't care enought one way or the other to even vote, he said.
 A certain number of v6fers will be unalterably opposed to any improvement of this type" he said T for one want to do something to make Palmer a bet ter place in which to live, he added.
 In speaking to Chamber mem bers Mayor Wilson gave brief resume of the proposed paving project. He stated that the City officials first began thinking seriously of paving when it was learned that the Alaska Road Commission (now the Bureau Of Public Roads announced their intentions of paving 24-foot strip of highway from the Glenn highway to the Wasilla road. 1t was obvious that the edges Of this 24-foot strip would be brok- en down within very short peril od of time, from street mainten- ance work and from vehicles driving off and on while parking. The City proposed to be ready at the time the ARC called for bids for the paving job and go in with them, paving from curb to curb in that section and ex- tending the paving down Colony street through the heavily tray- eled business section.
 That is why the bond issue proposal was made" he stated.

Watch Those Spuds
 Warns AgricuIiurisis

Frost damaged as much as 30 percent of the tubers in some Iate harvested potato fields in the Matanuska Valley, it was ant nounced this week. Samples of several potato lots revealed that some growers were putting at least five percent frozen tubers into storage. Experiments at the Matanuska Experiment Station showed that grading of badly frosted lots before storage did not eliminate all of the damag- ed tubers.
 Experiment Station personnel warn that growers should keep a close watch on their bins for ny evidence Of heating Dam aged potatoes should be graded out and the rots eliminated. If the excess moisture is removed by ventilation of storage, the frozen tubers will dry up and cause no further difficulty. When wet spots develop. they said, bac- terial soft rot may start and spread to healhy potatoes. In ad- dition to providing adequate ventilation, the tops of potato piles should be levelled off to prevent moisture from eonden- sing on the peaks they added

He served as national chaplain
of the American Legion during the
1934-35 term and has been state
chaplain of the organization many
times over a long period of years
On January 16, 1910, he was or
dered into federal service with the
19Sth CA (AAA) Delaware National
Guard and in January, 1912, he
was sent to the South Pacific where
he served with distinction for
nearly three years.
DR.. Huntington was awarded the
bronze star for the northern Solo
mons Bougainville Island cam
paign and also holds a commenda-
ton medal for his services as Sen
ior Chaplain at Tilton General Hos
pital, Fort Dix, New Jersey, from
where he was discharged October
Ii, 1916.
Dr. Huntington has already con-
tacted veteran organizations with
a preliminary outline of activities
in which he says:
"The Veterans of World War I,
II and Korea are the ones to as
sumo leadership in keeping Ameri-
ca defensively strong in days of
peace.
Veterans Day is the one occa-
sion to remind all Americans of
their duties and responsibilities as
well as to recall the sacrifices that
were made during the past wars.
We who served in the Armed For
ces must not neglect nor fail to re-
mind our fellow Americans that
Veterans Day is both time of hal
lowed remembrance as well as a
day of rejoicing"
DR.. Huntington has suggested
that since Veterans Day falls on
Sunday this year, every post should
plan a brief program and invite the
public to attend. He suggests that
the theme be Pray for Peace" He
plans to. contact service clubs and
other groups who may wish to
have appropriate Observances be-
ginning with the week of Novem-
ber 5. Plans also cali for contact
ing high schools, asking them to
plan assembly exercises during
that week.
Our youth must be reminded of
the sacrifices that have been made
for the American Way of Life
which they are now enjoying DR..
Huntington rem nd e d. Even
though our Governor may issue
proclamation calling upon all Del
awareans to properly observe Vet
Grams Day, it will not serve it's pur-
pose unless there are found ready
hands to carry out the request"

NJ. .. Test Can Save
Poultryrnen Money
CONTINUED from page onel


follow in taking the test says Mr..
Lloyd. Go to your poultry house
(broilers or layers) and pick up a
handful of litter along side the
feeder and examine it closely. If
you find manure only in the litter
you have passed the test if you can
find wasted feed you have failed
the test and are throwing money
away. It's just that simple to take
the test, but to find out why" if
you fail the test may take little
further investigating.
Just where can we find the cause
of failing the NJ. 0. Test. First look
at the man doing the feeding. Is he
filling the feeders too full? They
should not be filled more than 1I3
to 1/2 full at anytime. Is he spill
ing the feed while filling the
troughs? Just little more time
and care can save the feed here.
Maybe the trouble is with not
enough feeders in the pen. The
recommendation of the Extension
service Is LOT at least LWSuIy OI the
5-foot feeders per 100 laying hens.
Have you checked the condition of
the feeders 70 see that there are no
breaks at the seams or no holes
rusted through?
Keeping the feeders raised to the
height of the birds back also helps
to prevent feed waste. This may
require three changes in height as
the birds grow.
Pellet feeding has been a big
saver of feed but even here every
effort must be made to keep the
feed Ia the hoppers.
Remember that every pound of
feed wasted on your farm is cost
ing you money, and with the price
of broilers what they are today
every effort must be made to reduce
this waste. By your taking the five
minutes of time necessary to take
the NJ. o. Test you may save thuns-
ands of dollars year in wasted
feed, says the agent.
