A Pig Shoot? :? :?

Because of the strike situation
there will be no turkeys for
Thanksgiving tables, so how
about a Pig Shoot?" Just as
much fun, and what's nicer than
a nice roasted piglet on the table
with an apple in his mouth?
Within reason, too. The very
best fall pigs are only worth
about $1.00 for each week of age
or about the same per pound as,
turkey would cost. Ifinterested

the PIONEER office.

Local Gun Grabber

A mania for collecting guns
without going through the for
mality of purchasing them has
brought a heap of trouble upon
K. Staiger, who has been here in

Staiger was picked up Sunday
by Deputy Marshal Jack Hermon
after it was found that he had a
half dozen guns that had dis
appeared from valley residents.
At a hearing Monday afternoon
before Commissioner Huntley,
Staiger plead guilty and was
taken to Anchorage where he
will stand trial.

Some Good Ideas

Joe Flakne CT the Extension
Service suggests that now is a
good time to get your supply of
dirt for hot beds and flats for
spring.
Another suggestion from Joe
is that you GET your young pigs
onto the market. Fall pigs, he
explains, will not make profitable
gain during the winter months
on purchased feed. Lack of sun
shine and green food is a con-
trlbutlng factor.
The turkeys that were brought
in tor breeding stock are too
valuable for Thanksgiving din
ners. Why not a nice roasted
pig?

On the whole, however, the showing is
satisfactory, and seems to fit in with fore
casts of higher levels to come.
Of course, the iron and steel business is
basic, and if there were no other figures one
could be unqualifiedly bullish. Production
gained more than seasonally, and was not
only at the highest daily rate since the first
half of 1880, but also closely appropriated
the old normal levels.
