Traffic Over Alaska's
 Marine Highway System Exceeds All Predictions

JUNEAU LF - The three fer rieS of the Alaska Division of Mar inc Transportation are continuing to pile up record passenger hauls with l1,277 passengers carried during the last two weeks of July. This brings the total number of passengers carried by the ferries to 46,052 since the inaugural voy- age of the Malaspina late in Jan uary.
 Vehicle hauling also continued on the rise the last half of July with PLY vehicles carried to bring the total amount of vehicle traffic over the system to 8,166
 The Marine Highway System is continuing to Surpass all estimates for passenger carrying and is now expected to reach the projected vehicular traffic estimate of 13,156 before the end of the first season of operation. This estimate, hand ed down by the VIC. Gilman Co.,, traffic analysts, was projected for the fourth year of ferry operation
 At the other end of the Alaska Marine Highway System, the little M/V Chilkat, running between Cordova and Valdez is also living up to expectations.

Senate Okays
 Hefty Pay Hike For the Services

WASHINGTON tH1 - The Sen ate overwhelmingly passed Tues day bill for hefty pay boosts for most of the persons now serving in the nations fighting forces.
 Only recruits and lowest rank ing privates and apprentice sea- men with less than two years ser vice would fail to benefit from the first general military pay boost since 1858.
 Reservists, National Guardsmen, and those already drawing mill tary retirement would share in the increases which are estimated to cost taxpayers $1,238, ,526, ,0OO addi- tional annually.
 Sen. Howard Cannon, D New, floor manager for the complex measure said it is designed to make military careers more at tractive to the skilled and younger officers, both commissioned and non commissioned, among the more than 2.6 million on active duty with the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines.
 The measure now goes back to the House which in May approved a similar bill. Several differences are expected to be reconciled later
 The larger pay would become effective Oct. under the Senate version.
 Both bills provide for a new hostile fire pay, similar to the war time extra combat pay. It would be S55 extra a month for those exposed to death or injury, such as the fighting now underway in South Viet Nam.
 The House had voted to make this extra pay retroactive to Jan. l, 1861 but the Senate eliminated this.
 In an effort to retain more doc tors and dentists in the military services, the Senate would increase their present extra pay at and 10-year points by $50 and $1OO. The House had no such provision.
 The Senate bill would give the Secretary of Defense authority to decide about foreign duty pay" which now ranges from S8 to S22.50 a month for enlisted per sonnel.
 The House had eliminated such pay for duty in Hawaii, now part of the union, but retained it for Alaska, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
 Army first lieutenants and Navy junior grade ieutenants would get he biggest boosts under the Sen ate proposal, amounting to 25.7 per cent. Captains in the Army and Navy lieutenants would gain 24 per cent.
 Increases for most men in the Warrant Officer and higher eche- on non-commiSsioned officer clas- sifications would run from around 10 per cent to nearly IT per cent. Corporals and petty officers 3/c would get 2O.6 per cent boost.
 Colonels and Navy captains would receive 10.2 per cent more put higher grade officers would be 'aised only a little more than 5 per cent.

a white plastic tag on one of
the spines of the dorsal fin.
These white plastic tags will
be numbered and labeled Box

Anyone catching one of
these tagged fish should make

EAR RIVER


The Fisheries Division of
the Mississippi Game and Fish
Commission started a fish
cries investigation project
March 1, 1868, on the Pearl
River Reservoir.
Harry Barley was assign
ed project leader and Robert
Edward Gunter was assigned
as creel census clerk.
This project will be carried
out in several job phases. One
of the phases is a fish tagging
program. This study will help
provide such information as
to where, how far, and at
what rate these tagged fish
move. This information can
be passed on to fishermen to
help them select the more
productive areas to fish.
Fish are being captured in
small mesh hoop nets to re-
duce injury. Each fish is
measured and weighed before
being tagged. The date, tag
number, species. length, wei
ght and area released is re-
corded on each fish.

COTTON
There are a few suggestions
that | would like to offer con-
corning the planting of cot
ton. | know that some cotton
has already been planted and
a stand obtained on most of
the cotton that was planted
ten days or more ago. How
ever, some of the cotton that
has been planted in the last
few days on beds that were
rot settled may have trouble
getting a stand. Unless We
have rain within the next ten
DAYS the effect on the pre-
emerge may play out and not
be effective against grasses.
Under such conditions there
are two things that you coulo
do.
If grass is coming up
ahead of your cotton and
there is no cotton up at
all YOU can use about one
third of a dose of karmex
plus one-half per cent sur
factant per acre and spray
over the top of the drhl
on the same pattern that
Won pre-emerged on ana
kill out the grass that Is
coming up ahead OF your
cotton.
III you get a rain within
another eight or ten days
this additional karmeX
that YOU are applying VIII
act as a pre-emerge ma.
teriaI and help to prevent
or kill new grass coming
ND. If you have cotton up
i'm the row this cannot Dc
done as YOU would kill cot
ton as well as grass.
Another condition may De
that YOU have had your cot
ton planted ten days or more
and pre-emerged without a
rain occurring and that you
have no grass coming up. IN
such a condition as this you
could spray another one-nan
dose of Karmex in the panu
lust as you did when you
nlanted. Then, if you get a
rain within the next ten Gays,
this extra one-half dosage
would prevent grass from
coming through. But there d,
gain if you have a partiai
stand of cotton this cannot De
done.
Any way we can help you
on YOUR chemical weed control
program please feel free TO
contact us at any time OF day
or night.

PASTURES
Due to the lack of moisture
in the soil pasture grasses
are growing very slowly. Let
me urge that you make an
application of approximately
40 units of nitrogen per acre
on pastures where grass is
predominant. Then when you
90 get a rain your grasses
will grow much faster than
they would If no fertilizer
was applied. One acre of nj
trated grass pasture will pro-
duce more grass than three
acres of pasture not nitrated.
