 The President has signed into law legislation which would lib eralize the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 to promote the develop ment of oil and gas on the public domain in the States and in AL aska.
 The new law increases the amount of the public land of the United States that any one per- son, association, or corporation may hold under oil and gas lease to 46,080 acres in any state and to 100000 acres in Alaska The law also increases the amount that may be held under oil and gas option to 100000 acres and en- larges the time that such options may extend to three years.
 Under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended, the maxi mum acreage of public lands that could be held in any one state by a single lessee was 15,- 360 acres. Option could cover not more than 100000 acres and could extend for a period of not more than two years.

AGRICULTURAL LOANS TOTAL OVER S360, 900

A total of Sl91, ,925 in loans had been made up to July 31 and $170,109.0l was currently on loan financial reports at the first an nual meeting of the Alaska Agri- cultural Loan Board showed. The meeting was held in Fairbanks last week on August 12 and 13.

 In the years operation $83,825 had been loaned in the Panama Valley and in other areas a total of S33, 500 has been loaned, ac- cording to the report in the AL aska Department of Agriculture Market News.
 Development and chattel funds for the Panama and Matanuska Valley areas are depleted but short-term assistance is still avail able. Harvest loans for the Tan ana Valley are expected to take up available funds, according to James w. Wilson, commissioner of agriculture.
 In the local farm outlook, the Market News states that the An chorage-Matanuska Valley milk production is down about eight percent from the peak reached in June, but total production is still well above last year. Fall fresh eners and additional cows import ed should boost this winters pro- duction well above last year.
 Harvest of many vegetables is under way in the Matanuska Val ley. Lettuce prospects are for a good supply through most of Sep tember. Early cabbage harvest is just beginning, with average quality and ample supply in all areas. At the present time broc- coli, cauliflower, and topped beets are in good supply here in the valley.
 The potato crop looks better than a month ago, Commissioner Wilson reported. Some early po- tatoes are being harvested and are well received on the market. The rate of harvest will be in creased toward the end of the month for September military needs. Indications are that prices will be more favorable to the farmer this season.
