By Russell Annabel (United Press Correspondent) Palmer, Alaska (U.R) Troops helping to bring in the Matanu ska valley's record harvest this autumn have decided almost un animously to return here after the war and purchase farms. Pvt. Raymond A. Weiss, Red Lake Falls, Minn., working be hind a potato digger in a river bottom field close under the soaring white snow peaks of the Matanuska range, smiled when he was asked if he intended to come back to Matanuska after demobilization. "I sure am," he said emphatically. "I'm a farm er myself, and I know a good thing when I see it. The Aleu tians aren't so hot, but this Matanuska country is O.K." Troops have been working here since spring. They helped put in the crops, helped culti vate them, and now are partici pating in the harvest They nave had opportunity to become acquainted with the best and the worst sides to farming here, and the majority of them are enthusiastic about settling in the valley. They tell you that in their opinion prospects are better here for a limited num ber of small farmers than In most places in the States. "This is a new country and a man can get in on the ground floor," said Cpl. Chadwick Leighton, Spokane, .Wash. "It isn't worn out, or with all the best land grabbed, like in a lot of farming areas outside." Leighton is a member of the famed Castner's Cutthroat Scouts, and when Interviewed had just come down out of the mountains. Wearing a buckskin shirt, a battered campaign hat and a 45-Colt in a quick-draw holster, he looked more like a sourdough than the sourdoughs themselves. Many of the troops working here have made lifelong friends among the valley farmers, and several have become engaged to farm girls. They tell you they would rather spend a furlough working here than make a trip to the States. "Why not?" says Pvt. Jim Buchanan, Los Ange les, Cal. "The farmers pay us $1.25 an hour, including our board. Besides, there are dances and parties, and plenty of hunting and fishing. It's a swell deal, and I aim to come back and buy a quarter section of land and start clearing it." The mild Matanuska climate, the abundance of game and fish in the area, and the richness of the soil are a revelation to many soldiers formerly stationed in the Aleutians, who were of the opinion that the entire territory was as bleak and Inhospitable as Adak, Amchttka and Umnak. Officials of the Farmers' Co-operative association, considering the 50,000 acres of uncleared land in the valley and the ready market for all farm produce, are especially pleased by the interest soldiers are showing in Matanuska. "They are the kind of men we need here," said M. D. Snod grass, veteran Matanuska farm er and former superintendent of the Government Agricultural Experiment station here. "They know how to work, they have farm backgrounds, and they are self-reliant Their" decision to settle down here after the war is the finest compliment the com munity has had. FATHEROFFIVE LT. PRUIH WITH P-38SQUADR0N Washington.
