Fishermen Meet
 For Crab Hearing

A large group of fishermen and interested spectators were in at tendance at the hearing Saturday to consider the proposals of the Kodiak Advisory Board of the Fish and Game Commission.
 A prior meeting was held Friday evening to consider sport fishing and hunting regulations.
 One proposal offered by the Board on which there were pro and con arguments presented. was to outlaw dragging in State con trolled waters in the Kodiak area. Also that a 70 foot ground line be placed on bait travis.
 Howard Wakefield stated that he did not consider it in the best interests of conservation to outlaw dragging. He pointed out that due to weather here, large boats -were needed. He said he did not think fisherman would drag when it meant depicting the resource. Other fishermen stated the regu- lation would be too hard to en- force, and that fishermen would not drag where small and soft shell crab are found. 1t was said the fisherman would move on to somewhere else This was refUted by another, who said the fisher man would not go prospecting somewhere else if he was making $500 an hour in one place. Ii was brought out that trawl gear was an effective way to fish and cheap CT.
 Guy Powell presented figures showing the percentage of crab thrown out, some females and others mutilated. He said there was high percentage of loss.
 The proposal to set a season for king crab fishing, tentatively set for August 15 and closing August l, received little objection. II was voiced that a better system would ibe to establish quotas. Poland. chairman of the meeting, asked how or what kind of a quota could be set?
 A limit of 30 pots was ok. with some, others thought 1t did not necessarily have to be limited to that number.
 Oscar Dyson stated that the areas fiShed can not stand up to the fishing of last year.
 Earlier in the meeting he had

A $38, 147 $50 Alaska State High way program involving construc- ton on more than 45O miles of highway and 24 bridges was an- nounced Tuesday by Commissioner Richard A. Downing of the Alas ka Department of Public Works.
 The program, largest ever under taken in Alaska in a single year, includes construction on 66 indi- vidual projects. Survey and design work is programmed on an addi- tiOnal 26 projects.
 Magnitude of the program re- fleets Alaska's first full partici- patton as State in the Federal Highway Aid program beginning next July.
 Downing said contracts for some projects would be let in the next month or so Bulk of the awards, however, will be made this winter and spring.
 Largest single money item in the 1860 construction program is the estimated $2,2OO,OOO expendi- ture for grading, drainage and bridge construction on 43 miles of highway between Willow and Tal- keetna along the Susitna River.
 This is riyalled in mileage, how ever, by the 45 miles between Ester and the North Bank Of the Panama River, on which the De- partment plans to lay the base course at an estimated cost of $1,- 100000.
 Kodiak will participate in the program with two road projects. These are the construction of a primary highway through the city, for approximately one mile. Cost is estimated at $33O,OOO, and in cludes right-of-way, grading, drain age and bituminous pavin
 The other project, at cost of $1,000,0OO is the Kodiak -Ouzlnkie road, a stretch of six miles.
 As a full participant in the Fed eral Highway Aid program, Alas ka qualities for a program of more than $41 100000 financed by $36,- 738,000 in Federal money, and the remainder in State matching funds.
 Most of the States matching money will come from Feder | grants made available under t1 e Alaska Omnibus Act. The Act pro vided $4,00O,O0O in each of three years to substitute for highway programs which the Federal Gov eInment presumably would have undertaken had Alaska remained a Territory.
 With it's full participation in the Federal highway program, Alas ka also is expected to pick up the full burden of the road mainten- ance program on which it pre- viously could spend Federal funds
 This, too, will be offset for the next three years by a provision of the Omnibus Act which authorized Alaska to use its 1860 fiscal year entitlement as we'll as money un- spent from the 1859 program sole ly for maintenance, if desired.
 Because highway aid program al- locations were delayed until late summer, Downing said it had been found necessary to delay advertis- ing projects this summer to pre- serve Federal funds for mainten- ance purposes.
 In this manner, he said, the State will be able to take advant- age of its full program entitle- ment for construction over the next three years before having to assume the double burden of main

Prospect Farmer Puts knowledge
Gained In Kentucky To Good Use
BY BEN BOWERS

c. K. Brlsentine, to bacc 0
grower in Prospect, has learned TO
take advantage Of opportunities
when and where they may come
along.
A good indication OF his success
IN erasping favorable jllncture of
circumstances can be readily seen
by a close look at some of the side
lights of his military service which
began in 1913.
Enlisting in the Regular army. he
received his basic training at Fort
Jackson. S. c. Subsequent assign
ments took him to Fort Campbell
and Fort Knox. KY. This is where
he developed an interest IN hurley
tobacco. the state being the very
heart Of the hurley belt. That inter-
est was not dormant one for he

the farm during the summer. In the
height of the Korean crisis, he was
recalled to active duty in Novem-
ber-back to his 'old Kentucky
station, Fort Knox. On orders six
times for Korea. he never went. re-
naming in Kentucky until released
in November. 1851
His quest for information about
hurley tobacco fulfilled. Brisentine
found time for other interests in the
bluegrass state and it wasn't the
beautiful horses. For in May before
his discharge in November. he
married the former Miss Betty

born in 1854
Out of service. he began operat-
ing his fathers farm consisting of
102 acres in the Prospect neighbor-
hood. This operation is not limited
to producing hurley and dark-fired
tobaccos. however. since he too is
putting his eggs into more than
one basket and taking stab at
diversified farming like 50 many
other small farm operators IN the
country
Because of the small tobacco al
lotments. farmers have added new
cash crops to their program. Bris-
entine, who has a hurley allotment
of one-half acre and a little less than
three acres of dark-fired. counts
wheat, corn and pulpWood as cash
crops now. He grows Is acres OF
wheat and 25 of corn. some of the
corn land being rented from a near

Other small enterprises on the
farm include IA head of cattle. the
growing Of small grains such as
barley and the establishment of per-
nanent pastures to care for the
livestock. AS an additional source Of
income the family plans TO put in

he said. Then he proceeded to point
out some OF the techniques with
which he had been successful The
first was the fact that a lot Of farm
ers lose money by not pulling the
bottom leaves before cutting time
He added that he averaged 50 cents

on his hurley plot in addition to a
generous spread Of lime and ma
nure.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1959-02-06

Another point he emphasized was
the added money realized by topping
the crop at least three weeks OF

ing the suckers one time
