SEEK MARKETS FOR POTATOES
From tie fact that the prolific
po'ato crop will exceed local de
mands an effort will be made by
the Chamber of Commerce to in
troduce the famous Matanusk* tu
ber to the neighboring coast towns.
There is no reason why thB local
product cannot compete With the
out3idf* potato and the application
of a small amount of energy would
undoubtedly bring about the re
quired result.
By creating a market in the
neighboring towns the two-fold
benefit of advertising Anchorage
aud assisting the farmer would b®
accomplished.—Anchorage Times.
