 These attractive signs were pur- chased by the Chamber, and made by a firm in Seattle. We wish to thank the City for placing the signs,' Dr. Johnson stated. "They are now in place for the King Crab Festival, and will assist visitors in identifying some of the historic sites in Kodiak"

investments in agriculture. we have built an agricultural plant without historic parallel in the abundance and diversity of its out put. We have built an agricultural plant that produces nearly two thirds of all the raw materials used by the American economy and that ranks with the best anywhere Tn the efficient use of land and labor.
 Between 92 and 95 per cent of our agricultural abundance moves through regular marketing chan nels. Production is fairly closely adjusted to demand for livestock products and fruits and vegetables. Our surpluses are chiefly in wheat, feed grains, and cotton-storable crops that, if necessary, can be used to meet emergencies at home or in other parts of the world.
 "The fifth fallacy is that the cheapest way to solve the problem of surpluses is to make drastic cuts in farm research"
 Dr. Welch summarized his re- marks by stating the great need for research, the growing knowl- edge of nutrition, knowledge of the compisition of foods and mans need for different foods for health at various stages of life.
 Farm programs must be revised in light of advancing technology, promise of new markets, changing foreign policies.
 U. S. agriculture faces many crucial problems" he concluded. "Our success in meeting them de- pends on full understanding and support of this work by the public. !"

Rehabilitation Of Salmon
 Sought In Bills

A bill introduced recently in the House of Representatives by Rep. Ralph J. Rivers and more recently in the Senate by Sen. Ernest Gruening is designed to further commercial fisheries rehabilitation and development.
 The bills, co-sponsored by col leagues in the House and Senate from coastal states, increases the present allocation of 30 per cent of import duties on fish and she'll fish, under provisions of the Sal tonstall-Kennedy Act, for transfer to the Department of the Interior for domestic fishery programs, by an additional 30 per cent and au- thorize, allocation of this addi- tional 30 per cent to the states on a pro-rata basis.
 Rep. Rivers, m his remarks be- fore Congress reviewed the history of salmon in Alaska, which he said goes back to 1878 when the first canneries were established. By 1923, he said, Alaska had become the worlds principal salmon pro ducer, and fisheries the territories largest single source of revenue. The salmon pack, he said, in- creased from about 2 million cases in 1905 to over 6 million cases in 1928 and over 8-miIlion cases in 1886.
 The increases over the years, he said, were due to everlasting by means of fish traps and intensive seine fishing. From then on the runs began to decline, until, by 1941, the pack dropped to 6,906, ,503 cases. The continuing decline brought the Alaska salmon pack to the low ebb of 100000 cases in 1859.
 My bill just introduced" Rep. Rivers stated, would create an- other fund, also composed of an amount equivalent to 30 per cent of the gross receipts derived from duties imposed on imports of fish cry products. The Secretary of the Interior, he said, would apportion the money to the States according to formula based upon the pro- portion which the value of raw fish landed and the value of manufac- tured fishery products of each State bears to the total of such items attributed to all of the par ticipating States.
 Under this formula" Rep. Riv. CTS stated, Alaska would get about $6O0,0O0 per year from the second fund to use under its own manage ment for fishery rehabilitation pro jects including stream clearance and spawning ground develop ment."
 Sen. Gruening stated in recent newsletter that the National Fish

Speaker Attacks FaIIacies About U. .. Farmers

"The estimated farm population (April 1960). 15,635,000, was about the same as the farm population hundred years ago when half of the people of this country were on farms.
 According to the 1859 agricul- ture census, those who don't live on farms now outnumber those who do by more than nine to one.
 ''The public image of agriculture has been distorted by too much stress on problems created by sur- pluses and by too little information about the benefits of abundance"
 These statements were made by Dr. Frank J. Welch, Assistant Sec retary of Agriculture who spoke before the Symposium of Poultry Health in Washington, D. c. last month.
 Dr. Welch said the United States has contrived the best system of agriculture research and education the world has even seen.
 Commenting on what he terms the fallacies about agriculture in the minds of the public, the sec retary lists five fallacies which he said have gained widespread cur rency. 'The first is the fallacy that food costs are increasing much faster than other living costs and are responsible for imitation. The fact is that U. s. consumers pay about the same share of their in come for food (21 to g per cent) as in the years immediately before World War II. . 5. Rent, transpor- tation and medical care have gone up twice as much as food in the past ten years.
 'The second fallacy is that the farmer is chiefly responsible for the cost of food |. {. the famer doesn't even get half of the food dollar on the average, in 1860, it was only 39 cents.
 "A third fallacy is that farmers are getting rich at the expense of the rest of us. The fact is that the average per capita income of the farm population from all sources in 1860 was less than thousand dollars ($986). Average per capita income of the non-farm population was two and one-third times as great. Total net income for all farms in the United States aver aged $2,568 in 1860.
 "A fourth widely accepted fal- lacy is that farm support programs are wasteful. They encourage the buildup of surpluses. What is not recognized is that support pro- grams are necessary to protect our
