But there was another pioneer
ing task ahead of Walter Plppel,
the one time Minnesota relief ap
plicant who became Matanuska's
most prosperous farmer. Plppel
left Matanuska in 1939 after fail
ing in court In his two-year revolt
against the colony management
ruling that he could market only
through the cooperative. His in
come had been estimated at $5,000
a year. - .-,
Plppel, who recently came
north again from Wisconsin with
a deprecatory challenge to his old
neighbors, leased yesterday 25
acres six miles south of Anchor
age, on the opposite side of the
city from Matanuska but in simi
larly picturesque three-surrounded
terrain.
He obtained the land from two
homesteaders and will face much j
the same task that he did at Mata
nuska. There are stumps to dig
and soil to be turned for the first
time by the blade of a plow. Much
of the land has been cleared but
never planted. Plppel already has
a tractor. He plans to raise a
variety of truck farm product for
the rapidly expanding market In
this booming army air base city.
Eyeing the slush from the win
ter's snow on Anchorage streets,
the sturdy Individualist comment
ed: "It looks like it won't be long
before I can start plowing, but
I've got to build a house first."
He said he already had made ar
rangements to bring his wife and
four children north. A 10-year-old
son came with him.
Plppel predicted, "They'll never
want to leave Alaska again."

The production of these crops is

This industry is especially sig
nificant in the future develop

crops require an intensive use of
land and an extensive use of labor
and therefore are suited to small
farming units, the authors point
out. Oregon is particular v favor

The study revealed, however,
that before Oregon can compete
in the distant major consuming
centers with the processing plants

must be able to produce either a
quality superior enough" to com

Hop Acreage Held
Ample at Present
CORVALLIS, March 10. (AP)
G. R. Hyslop, head of plant in
dustries at Oregon State college,
denied that there is any need of
increasing hop acreage in Oregon
or elsewhere under present con
ditions. His statement followed
press reports from Washington,
D. C, quoting the bureau of
plant Industry as savine 6.000 to
8,000 more hop acreage is needed
if a mildew resistant variety is
to be developed.
Professor Hyslop explains that
the story possibly originated In a
statement before an appropria
tion committee that imported
hops have equalled the produc
tion from 6,000 to 8,000 acres.
Despite this, however, the pres
ent growers are taking a 14 per
cent cut on 1940 production to
comply with quotas under their
existing marketing agreement.
Hyslop points out that research j
Is helping producers ot seecuess
or semi-seedless hops meet the re
quirements of some buyers who
ordinarily purchase foreign hops.
The search for disease resist
ant varieties, while important to
the industry, is not connected
with the replacement of foreign
with domestic hops, according to
Hyslop.

One hundred strawberry plants
require about 150 feet of row, and
will yield about 50 quarts of ber

This being the eleventh month

Then the 4001b. hurdle takes a
better stride (more capacity and

limited to a half dozen.
