OFFERS EUROPEAN BLACK
GROUSE TO STOCK KENAI
An offer to send 100 black Eu
ropean grouse to stock the Kenai
peninsula was recently made by
Phillips Jr. of the Anheuser Busch
Brewing Company. Mr. Phillips
has done considerable hunting on
the peninsula and he believes the
birds would thrive in that climate.
The grouse is a large game bird
weighing from 10 to 12 pounds.
They are very difficult to obtain
and expensive, usually $100 a
pair.
All of Cordova's major improve
ments were jeopardized when it
was learned last week that the
Bureau of the Budget, acting un
der Congressional directives, was
to cut off 60 per cent of Alaska’s
G.S.A. improvement funds. The
cut is planned to give priority to
National Defense projects.

Develop New Cereals
for Alaskan Crops
The Alaska Agricultural Experi
ment Station in cooperation with
the United States Department of
Agriculture has developed and
is releasing for production in
Alaska two new superior cereal
crop varieties, Edda barley and
Golden Rain oats. (Golden Rain
oats has been listed as Siberian 3
in previous reports from the Alas
ka Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion. Hereafter, reference to this
variety will be made only as
Golden Rain.)
These two cereals will be rec
ommended for growing through
out the Territory in 1951. Appli-!
cation for supplies of these varie
ties for seed increase purposes
should be made through the Ex
tension Service Offices at Palmer
or College. Through the coopera
tive efforts of the Montana and
Idaho Agricultural Experiment :
Stations and two seedgrowers at
Aberdeen. Idaho, the Alaska Sta- i
tion has increased the seed supply
of these two varieties to more
than 20 tons.
Approximately 15,000 pounds)
of seed of each variety is to be
made available to Alaska growers
for the 1951 crop season.
