On May 23, 1942, eighteen boys from Pierce and Kitsap Counties, members of the Future Farmers of America, were presented by Sears, Roebuck and Co. with young wiggling, squealing pure bred female pigs. The pigs came from the Carstens Packing Co. and the boys are photographed in front of the Carsten's general office. Three male pigs were also donated to the F.F.A. to be used in a "chain-litter" program. The pigs were to be bred and from each new litter, the boys were to donate 1 or 2 of the female piglets to fellow F.F.A. members. (T.Times 5/25/1942 p.12)
