ALASKAN TURNIPS IN
DEMAND; MORE COMING
Alaskan turnips are certainly
oooular in Seattle, if the way they
are sold Is ajiy indication. Re- I
cently A. A. Shonbeck, of Anchorage
Alaska, without any authority, ship
ped a carload of Alaska turnips to
H. 3. Emerson, produce merchant
of Seattle. The Northern mer
chant shipped them Jn an effort to
aid the Matanuska Farmers' Asso
ciation and also to help solve the
food problem, and did not eveu put
a orice on them.
"If you can Bell these turnips at
any kind of a price do so," wrote
Mr. Shonbeck. "I think perhaps ,
you can sell them at the canton- L
ment. I have prepaid the freight. ,
If vou wish any more I can pro- j
vide fi'ty tons. We want to help i
solve the food problem."
Mr. Emerson sold the first ship
ment of fifteen tons so quickly that |1
tbe boys at Camp Lewis did not,
get a chance at them, so he cabled
an order for the other fifty tons
of turnips and rutabaga^. The Al
aska engineering commission made j
special rates for this shipment on ]
the transport Crook, which! arrived ]
recently, bringing the turnips.—Se- i
