Alaskan Barley Farmers
Eligible For Federal Loans
Barley raised in Alaska this
. year will be eligible for Federal
loans of $55 per ton, Philip R.
Johnson, chairman of the Alas
ka ASC committee, announced
at College this week. This same
loan level was recently an
nounced for oats. These loans
are made under USDA price
support programs although,
since they are only about two
thirds the market value of the
grains, they do not support
prices. They do provide ready
money shortly after harvest to
help meet harvest and other
costs.
Barley, to be eligible, must
grade No. 4 or better, properly
dried, and shored in adequate
storage. The loan level of $55
per ton is for Grade No. 2 and
lower eligible grades are sub
ject to discount. Further de
tails will be announced at a
later date.
Loans on oats and barley, as
well as for drying and storage
facilities will be made by coun
ty ASC offices in Fairbanks,
Palmer and Homer. Any farm
er interested in more informa
tion regarding these loans
should contact their local ASC
office.

Bison Hunt
Season Set
Open seasons on several of
Alaska’s big game animals will
begin from a few days to two
weeks early this year in some
areas, following action taken by
the Alaska Board of Fish and
Game at its spring meeting in
Kodiak last week.
Chairman Roy Selfridge of
Ketchikan announced today
that the board approved a De
partment of Fish and Game pro
posal to open the deer and goat
seasons in Southeastern Alaska
on August 1 this year.
The board also approved an
tlerless moose seasons on the
Alaska Peninsula (Game Man
agement Unit 9) and in a por
tion of the Koyukuk River
Drainage where Department bi
ologists have found overpopula
tions of moose. Antlerless moose
seasons in several other areas,
principally on the Kenai Penin
sula, the Matanuska Valley
area, and near Fairbanks will
be conducted on a permit-only
basis, according to Selfridge.
In other major actions, the
board removed three closed
areas and reduced the size of
another, acting on the recom
mendation of department biolo
gists that these areas were not
needed for the protection of
game. The Eagle River (near
Anchorage), Kantishna (near
McKinley Park), and Tok River
(on the Slana-Tok Highway)
closed areas were eliminated,
while the Cooper Landing
closed area on the Kenai Penin
sula was reduced.
The Board also approved a
closed season on black -bear on
the Kenai Peninsula between
July 1 and August 10, and ap
proved a bison permit hunt in
the Big Delta area.
James W. Brooks, director of
the Department’s Division of
Game, stated today that the
new regulations incorporating
the changes will be ready for
distribution to the public by
about the middle of June. The
new regulations will cover the
period July 1 to the following
June 30, in contrast to the pres
ent regulations which were for
the calendar year I960, and
which were extended by the
Board, with several changes,
for the first six months of this
year.
