uto crop this season in the Matan- j

Potatoes are the chief source of
revenue for the farmers. This vege
tans was the only product in last
season's crop to be marketed else
where than Anchorage snd towns in
Ue Cook Inlet region. M&t&nuska
potatoes were sold in nearly every
place in southwestern and southeast
ern Alaska. In the future, as in the(
na^t, they will be the chief agricul
tural article of export.
This season, as last, only enough
beets, onions, turnips and cabbages
weie raised1 to supply the demnads li!
the Cook inelt region. The hay is
uot baled, and si just about suffi
cient for the needs of the live
stock of the Matanuska valley.
While th^ -potato crop this year
is not so large as it was last year,
it is much better in quality. The
yield of 500 tons, however, is more
than will be required in the Cook
Inlet district, so there will be a
considerable quantity available for
marketing in towns along the
southwestern and southeastern
coasts of Alaska.
The potatoes, until orders are re
ceived for shipments, will oe kept by
farmers in either their association
storage houses or their individual j
root cellars. ^..
