Results of Farm
 Survey Issued By |. Extension Service

Alaska Farms: Organization and Practices in 1949", mimeo- graph circular 1 of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station, was released this week for dis tribution by the University of Alaska Agricultural Extension Services offices in Palmer, Col lege and Anchorage.
 Clarence A. Moore, agricultural economist on the Experimental Station staff and author of new circular, made a survey of 77 farms in the Matanuska Valley, 17 in the Panama Valley, and a few small farming enterprises near Anchorage in his study of Alaskan farming practices.
 Estimating that Alaskan grow CTS were paid between $1,2OO,- 000.00 and $1,70O,O0O.OO for pro- duce sold in 1949.
 Moore has presented this pre- liminary analysis of a growing in- dustry which is essential to and in turn is dependent upon an ex- banding Alaskan economy.

comprehensive review Of farm
ing in the county in the last
decade. He said:
"The gross income of the
farmers of Orange from crops
and livestock went up from IN
million dollars in 1910 to S mil
lion in 1850. This increase was
due to increase in prices and in
yields per acre.
The average per-acre yield of
tobacco in 1910 was 91O lbs;
last year it was 1862 pounds. In
1910 we raised 1880 acres of
corn at II bushels per acre, or
261,630 bushels; last year there
were 1877 acres at 35 bushels
per acre, or 482,195 bushels. In
dairying and poultry the income
has been increased from $780,
900 in 1910 to we'll over million
now.
"On the surface this appears
to be great progress, but when
we divide this gross cash income
among 1000 family-size farms
in the county it amounts to only
$2,50O each. Twelve hundred of
these farms in 1850 had a gross
income of $1,000 or less. When
the expense Of production is de-
Quoted from the gross, it means
that the average'net cash income
will be from $1,000 to $1,000,
which is low. More and more
Orange County farmers are
working part time in industry ;
SGT reported working more than
100 days off the farm in 1850.
This is twice as many as worked
off the farm in 1915.
THE farmers can increase
their grcss income from One-half
to million dollars by doubling
their pastures and increasing
their livestock population. We
are putting on an intensive cam
paign to increase the seeding of
Ladino clover pastures. Last
year we seeded 5000 acres-this
year our goal is 5000. The Bank
of Chapel Hill is aiding in this
project by offering an attrac-
tive farm sign to the farm hav-
ing the best pasture in each of
our ten communities. We have
10000 acres of idle crOpland
which could be made into ex-
cellent pasture. Our Experiment
Station has proven that a good
acre of LadinO clover-Orchard
grass pasture will produce as
much total digestible feed as Is
bushels Of corn.
"The present tobacco situation
is of interest to everybody in the
county. Last year the average
per-acre yield was 1862 pounds,
the price was 54 cents, and the
crop brought about $3,OOO,OOO.
Black shank combined with dry
weather will probably reduce
the yield to around 1000 pounds
per acre, which means that at
the present price of about 80
cents the crop will bring around
$2,OOO,OOO. We have tests which
show that black shank can be
controlled by the combined use
of crop rotation and resistant
varieties. This disease may
benefit the farmers in the long
run by forcing them to rotate
their crops, produce more feed,
and thereby feed out more live
stock.

electric lines has almost doubled
