"MY WIFE GOT ME into this turkey
trade" explained Allan johnson, Powell
county, "but now that we have a good es-
tablished local market and some processing
equipment, think it's a good business"
Prospects for his 10000 birds this year
are for prices at least up to last years, he
said, and in all probability higher. Last
year he received from 40 to As cents per
pound for toms and So cents for hens
This year he understands there will be
about percent more birds on the market
plus about 100000 birds held over from
last year But with the present war situa-
ton there will be higher military demand,
and civilian demand should be good be-
cause of the high employment and wage
situation. Then, too, johnson was quick to
add, along with other poultry turkey is
actually one of the cheapest meats on the
market today.
But the highest ace in the hole as far as
marketing is concerned is the fact that he
now has an established local market selling
to Butte, Anaconda, Deer Lodge, Helena
and Missoula Some birds have gone as far
as Tennessee, California, Washington and
Minnesota, but the out-of-state selling is
incidental.
johnson explained his appreciation of
the local market by mentioning one employ
er in a neighboring city who automatically
expects to get 200 birds at Thanksgiving
time to give to employees. The only require
ment is uniformity. please turn to page 12)

The musicians, during the day
teachers, carpenters, painters and
statesmen, went on playing for their
own pleasure at the Ionic Temple.
Before long, so many people drop
ped in to listen that the players
decided to start giving concerts.
They gave them Scandinavian
style. During intermissions the
musicians would step down from
the stage, min gle with the guests.
After the concert, there would be
coffee, cakes, sometimes a dance.
Over the years the orchestra grew
in size from SO to IS; when they
got a regular conductor, Vienna
born Eduard Werner, they began
to grow in proficiency. In recent
years their weekly Sunday-night
concerts in a 1,60O-seat hall in De-
troits' Masonic Temple have been
attended by enough people to pay
costs and put $4,000 in the treas
ury.
Last month Detroit's Scandina-
Wan Symphony musicians were up
to really big doings. They moved
into the Masonic Temples 4,5OO-
seat main auditorium, and more
than half the seats were filled.
They also pulled in some new mu-
sicians to build the orchestra up
to a big-sounding ga pieces. They
bowed and blew their way through
Howard Hanson's Romantic SYM
phOny No. 2, then wound things
up with resounding performances
of Grieg'S Piano Concerto in A
Minor and Sibelius Finlandia. AS
usual, they mingled with the audi
ence afterward, but this time they
had something special to talk
about. With the proceeds from
their concert, 70 of them would
climb a Stratocruiser in two
weeks, take Off, kit q caboodle,
for a two-month tour of Scandin-
avia.
Twenty-Five concerts have al
ready been booked in Sweden, Nor
way and Denmark. For one Co.
penhagen concert, they thought
they had a guest conductor all
lined up: amateur musician King
Frederik TX of Denmark, who was
quite interested in the whole idea.
