ALASKA BOGS MAY BE USED FORNEW (ROP Wykoff Explains Possibil- | ity of Infroducing Cran- berries to Northland Cultivation of cranberries in Al-' aska bogs is very practical and will- meet the same conditions as in the successful Aberdeen marsh- es, according to J. M. Wykoff, For- est Service official who has been’ assigned special duties for the pro- motion of local industries, and who spoke before the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today. } Wykoff pointed out that while farmers in the Aberdeen district were profitably raising good cran-' berry crops at an original out-lay of approximately $1,000 an acre, local farmers could start with a as much clearing or “scalping” nec- essary. He said that Southeast Alaska land is as adaptable as Aberdeen for the cultivation of the crop, and there was less threat of frost here. Average crop of the Aberdeen far- mers is from 400 to 500 boxes an acre and sell for $3 a box. Wyckoff said that the Forest Service is going to lay down an experimental bog and asked that the Chamber publish a short re- port on the possibility of intro- ducing commercial cranberry crops into Alaska. e — TAXES DUE SOON Second payment of 1940 munici- pal taxes will become delinquent Saturday, March 15, accordny to the Juneau City Clerk's office.
