ALASKA--Contdnued PACIFIC FLYWAY 
Production 8 
As of July 24, 212 broods had been tallied in the Northway Study Area 
averaging 7.5 young per brood all age classes combined. This is a slightly 
larger brood size than was recorded last year and there appeared to be at least 
25 percent more broods in the area than in 1957. 
Cenclusions 
From all indications, the production has been considerably more 
favorable than last year, and with the 25 percent increase in the breeding 
population, at least 25-30 percent increase in production of all the major game 
species can be expected.
