Million Pounds Of Buffalo Meat Placed On Canadian Market Last Fall
Upwards of half a million pounds of buffalo meat entered the Canadian market after the slaughter of 1,200 animals from the herd at Buffalo Nations Park in Wainwright Alberta. The disposal reduced the herd to about 6,300 and reflects Canada’s ongoing restraint of the national herd. Meat shipped to Vancouver Edmonton Calgary Regina Winnipeg Toronto Ottawa and Montreal fed citizens nationwide while 90 carcases and 50 aged buffalo were saved for Eskimo distress. Buffalo heads were mounted, skins turned to robes rugs and coats, with weights adjusted to compete with other fur skins.

Faith in Rocket Ship Professor Arrives in New York
Auguste Piccard reached New York from Europe aboard a boat amid plans to spark interest in a super balloon flight to 10 miles altitude over northern Canada. He urged interviewers not to smoke and said he would ban tobacco if he wielded a dictator’s powers. He predicted rocket airships could cross the Atlantic in six hours within decades, noting how once flying was deemed nuts. The piece also notes the New York City Chamber of Commerce as the nation’s first of its kind, tracing its origins back to 1768 and 1776 under royal charter. The article closes with a stray fragment about a childlisted line.

Wealth and food demand shift with income levels
California prune growers report wealthy customers are poor for farmers while low income buyers are best. Data show $1,000 or less spent per $100 on food is 33.50, $3,000–$5,000 is 14.80, and $500,000+ is 0.20.
