Last week the prosperous Matanuska farmers had finished their harvest and contractors completed a new $400,000 blacktop road through the valley town of Palmer. The valley was growing faster than the wildest dreamers had hoped, seemed destined to be even more prosperous under statehood, since growing Alaska still imports about 90% of all its food. For the 40 or so original Matanuska colonists-out of the original 900-who had looked for the promised land and found hard work, the promise suddenly seemed close at hand...
...FARM HARVEST will be 9.5% higher than ever before, despite federal crop controls that cut back planting to smallest acreage in 40 years. Good weather and better growing methods will raise per-acre yield of corn from last year's 46.8 to 49 bu.; of wheat, from 21.7 to 27 bu.; of cotton, from...

There last week five grain specialists, with their assistants, painstakingly harvested and examined 30,000 different wheat strains from Canada, Russia, the U.S., Germany, Brazil, Britain, Chile, Mexico, India, while other workers planted experimental fields containing thousands more for harvest and research next year.

...Minister Gordon Churchill is also considering a personal selling visit to the Soviet Union, and possibly Red China, to try for bigger orders from last year's most surprising new customers. The one major stumbling block to bumper business is the U.S., which is completing a billion-bushel harvest of its own and is just as anxious as Canada to cut down wheat stocks. Canadians think they can more than hold their own. Though the U.S. wheat is likely to be cheaper on world markets, its quality is lower, cannot compare to Canada's rich harvest from...
