that provision will be made for
absentee balloting by persons who
will not be present on the date of

people may secure referendum
ballots from any Asses office for

acreage allotments for 1862 have
not yet been mailed to producers,
Mr.. Anderson explained, pending
completion of action on legislation.
However, the notices will be fur
nished to all producers before the
referendum.
The question in the referendum
will be whether producers approve
or disapprove of marketing quotas
on next years crop. In eight pre-
vious referenda on the same ques-
ton, farmers have approved
Quotas become effective only il
at least two-thirds of the pro,

 Believe the following letter will have interest for all Alas kans, and it is my thought in approaching you, that we might encourage each town in our great State to be represented in the All Alaskan Garden . An appeal has already gone out to the 10 members of our Federation but we represent such a small portion of our great State, that many not in our group want to be repre- sented. Another thought accurs to me that this is an ideal way to build up good will with our neighbors. Anyone interested may contact me and I shall be glad to relay the information:
 SkagWay, Alaska
 Jan. g, 1861
 The town of Skagway is in the process of restoring our old Courthouse to use as a Museum and City Hall. The Garden Club has volunteered to plan the landscaping of the grounds surrounding the museum.
 Would you be willing to send us a local tree, shrub or flower to use on the grounds? We do not plan to do planting till spring of '62, but we would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible so we can plan to save space for your particu- lar tree, shrub or plant.
 Our plans include placing a suitable sign telling where the plant came from and who do- hated it. We would like to have an 'All-Alaskan" garden.
 Do you know of any articles of Alaskan historical interest, especially if connected in any way with the Klondike Gold Rush?
 The Skagway Museum will welcome any additions to it's collection of Days of '98' arti- eles or Indian artifacts. Let us hear from you soon so your town won't be left out of the " All-Alaskan Garden"
 Sincerely,
 Mrs. (. Tunley, president,
