Lawn Mower close-out
By PKARL KKTTKNDORF
Gazette-Times correspondent
in Alaska
It's cranberry picking time
in Alaska, and everyone is out
getting in his winter's supply.
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." By now

he has received the fresh ones
I flew to him; and, if he's
handy around the kitchen, he
has followed my directions for
making some delicious Alas
kan cranberry sauce.)
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

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.
