McCord Awarded
Army Contract
Jack McCord, cattle rancher
of Chirikof and Sitkalidak is
lands, returned recently from
Seattle after arranging for the
purchase of refrigeration sup
plies to be used in connection
with a 300 000 pound beef Army
contract he has been awarded.
This is the largest meat con
tract he has ever received, al
though last, year the Navy
bought $23,000 worth of meat
from him.
McCord’s present contract is
for cattle on Chiiikof island,
shorthorns that were descended
from stock brought there in
1888, which he has improved by
cross-breeding with imported
bulls. Two army veterinarians
and I M. C. Anderson, federal
farm security administrator in
Alaska, visited the island and
passed on the animals for health
and conformity. Anderson pro
nounced them the finest range
cattle be had seen anywhere in
t he west.
McCord and the Frye Pack
ing Company of Seattle took a
30-year lease on the islands
from the government, lengthen
ed from 5 years after they had
demonstrated they had improv
ed <he stock there. McCord
makes his home on Sitkalidak,
where he has cattle and -beep.
On Chirikof the cattle require
neither feeding, watering nor
sheltering, since the temperature
never reaches freezing. McCord
e<t mates that about 550 cattle
will be required to supply the
3 )0.( 00 pounds for the Army
#>ntr ct issued by.the Alaska
Defense Command. The meat
will be distributed wherever the
ADC sees fit.
Johnny Ponchene, former
Kodiak boy, is now a private
first class in the Air Corps, and
at last word was stationed at
Harvard, Nebraska.
