We have to go out a road about 20 miles from Fair banks, . where cranberries grow the best. It is flat land covered with moss, and over head the birch and spruce trees. The road lies along the edge of a wide valley. At this time of year trees are turning to their fall colors. The whole countryside is a mixture of green, yellow, orange and red-wilh dark green spruce scattered around in just the right places. It was a beautiful day, clear and sunny, ttnd we could see across the valley to the hills beyond. Beyond and above it all was majestic, snow-covered Mt. McKinley, with the sun shining on it all. (The reason I am here is because the Gazette-Times publisher wrote me a short note and asked me to write a story about "How to Milk an Alaskan Cranberry."

Well, we passed many homesteads along the way, with their gardens and green houses. When we arrived at the place we were going to pick, those cranberries were thicker than I had ever seen them. The ground was a solid carpet of red. Our cranberries like old rot ted slumps and fallen trees covered with moss. Their tiny stems were poking up through the moss, loaded with berries, as many as a dozen to one tiny stem. I set my bucket down and stripped them off with both hands into the bucket. It was just like milking cows. It took no time to fill a bucket. We came home with about four gallons. Our cranberries are round and smaller than the com mercial kind, but far superior in flavor. Berries of all kinds grow up here and have a big place in our lives. They are the only kind of fruit that grows here. The blueberries and cranber 5 E miniii m& Winter Tire Sole v y on all mowers in stock ries are the most plentiful. I noticed an interesting thing while picking. A large pile of spruce cones. I could see that it had taken several years to build it up, as they were in layers. The oldest ones were on the bottom. There were holes going down through the moss into the ground all around the pile. Squirrel holes. There was a regular community of them down there, and I almost stepped in those holes before I realized I'd spoil their homes and all their hard work if I did. There were also neat piles of mushrooms near some of the holes and the skins of cranberries the squirrels had been eating.. It was an enjoyable day along the Alaskan country side. And I hope Mr. Joiner is happy. (ED. NOTE-Mr. J. is a happy man.
