2nd. Div. Program
In C of C Booklet
The NUGGET printing depart
ment has just recently completed
a booklet on the Needs of North
western Alaska, and which has
been submitted to the Second
Division delegation to the 17th
Session of the Alaska Legislature.
In an interview with Mr. A.
Polet, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Legislation of the North
western Alaska Chamber of Com
merce, he stated: ‘‘We wish to
invite every citizen who is inter
ested in the futhre welfare of our
section to call either at the
NUGGET office or at Polet’s
Store for a copy of the booklet.
“We suggest that everyone study
our needs. If it meets with your
approval, write to yocr Senator
or Representative at Juneau and
tell them about it. If there are
parts that you do not agree with
tell us and also send your crit
icisms to them
“This is the beginning of the
compilation of the needs of our
division. We feel that we should
not expect results from this ses
sion as the war effort requires
our full attention, but as we have
begun, we shall add and modify
our program so that by the next
session of the legislature we will
be fully organized to assist in the
development of our industries
which have been stunted by the
war.”
Mr. Polet stated further that
in the compilation of this booklet
there may be items that reflect
on individuals and; institutions,
but he wishes to be understood
that it is entirely impersonal, for
the benefit of the majority and
furtherance of the best interests
of Northwestern Alaska.
Wartime Champion
Attention was sharply focused upon a changed post-war hog pro*
duction by the selection of this 230 pound lightweight Hampshire
barrow as the Grand Champion over all breeds at the recent Chicago
Market Fat Stock Show, wartime version of the International Live-j
stock Exposition. Clean-cut and firm fleshed, carrying a high propor- .
tion of meat cuts -in ham, loin, and bacon, and with a minimum of
lard, he exemplifies the meat type hog advocated to meet the post-war
(problem of excess lard production. |
Champions of this top-ranking show were judged by R. L. Pem
berton of Des Moines, Iowa, field secretary of the Iowa Swine Pro
ducers’ Association and executive secretary of the Wartime Swine;
Industry Council. He stated that a meat type hog with a higher yield
of ham, loin, and bacon, which could be readily finished at around
225 pounds or which could be carried on to heavier weights when the
market situation justified, would best meet the production needs of ,
the future.
This Hampshire Grand Champion, Purdue Model §th, was bred
and exhibited by Purdue University, LaFayette, Indiana. He came in
a husky litter of 10 pigs raised. Farrowed on June 4th, he weighed
230 pounds at the show when just 180 days old. In exactly 6 months !
from birth to market, that is making market topping pork at the rate
of more than 1 % pounds for every day he lived.
