V/hen an old dour lough like the
Alaska Miner can say such nice
things about our produce and
future prospects, it makes us
feel like walking right out and
smacking the first pessimistic
wet-blanket square on the nose
and saying,"Dots for nuttings so
vat eh out."
’,/eTre ready to fight for our name
and trade mark "Matanuska Maid".
7/e can produce the goods and we
know it. It nay take time to
produce the volume required to
supply our market demands, but
quality wo already have.
It makes us very happy to know
a valued friend will spoa.k with
praise and onccixra.gement of our
. roduce. Thanks to Editor Jcssen.
"Como down and see us some time."
Those in charge of the young
i'hor.cants at the hatchery would
like to know if there is anyone
who has drinking fountains, and
would these persons lonn then
to be used in. the brooding of the
young birds. The fountains will
be cleaned and returned as soon
'as the pheasants are old .enourig
to move from the brooder rooms.
Also, feed hoppers are needed.
It is impossible to got hoppers
at the Trading Post and if anyono
has any left over from brooding
baby chicks, will they pleaso
contact the hatchery also.
