PACK IS LARGER
An increase of 6 percent is reported in the Alaskan salmon pack through August, as compared with the same period last year, and the gain will be further augmented by fall fishing, according to Lewis Radcliffe, deputy commissioner of the commerce department's bureau of fisheries. A tentative estimate of the pack for the 1931 season to August 31 has been made by the bureau's Seattle office, in cooperation with the Association of Pacific Fisheries. The total to that date was 5,335,451 cases, as against 4,839,500 cases in 1930 to August 31 and 5,032,326 for the entire season of 1930. It is of interest to note that the output of red salmon in 1931 is almost double that of the preceding year and also shows a fair increase over the average for the five-year period.
