FOR REPLACING OF
WHIT KILLED GRASS

Word was received February IL
from E. l.. Peterson, Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture, that
the Matanuska Valley area has
been designated as wind ero-
sion disaster area. The sum Of
$4,000 in emergency conserva-
ton funds has been allocated to
the valley to assist farmers in re-
placing permanent grass winter
killed in early 1857.
According to Philip r. John
son, chairman OF the Alaska ASC
Committee, the entire emergency
program has not yet been worked
out. However, the following facts
have been established:
The emergency program will
be handled as part Of the regular
Agricultural Conservation Pro-
gram (ACP), and will be admin
istered by the Palmer ASC
Committee. Farmer members of
the committee are Vic Falk, Jr..
A. r. Carson, and Howard Estel-
lie. Lew Hanks, Palmer agricul-
ture extension agent, is secre-
tary- treasurer Of the committee.
The committee office is in the
Extension Office.
Seeding of permanent grass in
1858 under the ACP will be done
both under the present practice
four lin which the sum of SIG, 900
will be made availab1e) and new
practice Is, the emergency con
servation practice. These two
practices will have adequate
funds to assist in seeding about
1000 acres of permanent grass
in the Matanuska Valley in 1858.
According to Lew Hanks rates
of assistance have been establish
ed at 20To an acre. This is con-
siderably above those paid in
Palmer County in past years.
Payment in all cases can be ex-
pedited by the use Of purchase
orders, Hanks pointed out. All
seeding under the emergency
practice must be completed or
substantially completed by June
30, 1858. The appropriation for
the emergency practice expires at
that time
Priority for participation IN
the emergency practice will be
given farmers who had perman-
ent grass winterkilled in early
1857.
Details of the emergency prac-
tice will be worked out within
the next week and submitted to
Washington for approval. After
the text of the practice is ap-
proved the final details will be
announced Hanks pointed out
the immediate need for every
farmer who IS planning to seed
grass to contact the Extension Of
flee or fill out applications for
grass seeding as soon as possible.
He pointed out that many have
returned their surveys but it will
still be necessary to fill out the
required application SO that the
number of acres to be reseeded
will be known. He also reminded
farmers Of the need to know the
amount of seed which will be
needed 50 that orders may be
sent Immediately.
Johnson pointed out that farm
ers should revise their plans for
the 1858 crop year to make full
use Of the regular and emergency
seeding practices. They should
order the additional seed and
fertilizer they will require. Busi-
nesses and organizations who i'm
port seed and fertilizer should
