By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Baghdad I have finally sight Astonishing teen a photograph or what must be a Tigris salmon, and though I undoubtedly won't get to see the actual fish on this trip, Im willing to admit there probably is such a thing. The picture showed a cou ple of Iraqi fishermen with a monstrous fish slung over the back of a donkey. It was a snapshot taken near the town of Altun Kepri, about 60 miles up the Lesser Zab, a Tigris tributary. That makes it about 200 miles or so north east of here. The picture looked genuine. There were no marks of the publicity fnan about it. Only the front half of the mon strous fish was visible. Its head was salmonlike. The mouth had a hooked lower jaw, and the few scales show ing along the back were dime size. The story behind the pic ture is that a river island near Altun Kepri is famous as a place for catching these huge fish, reaching six feet in length and 300 pounds weight. The natives stupefy them with poisoned bait, then net them. The man who showed me the picture was sorry he could offer no other evidence, but offered to make up for it by showing me some wild boar. We found them some 40 miles or so northwest of the city, on the edge of a marshy area bordering some cultivat ed land. It was nearly sunset. The pigs they looked much like our razorbacks except that they seemed hairier were rangy, wiry creatures. We were standing on a long dike, the remains of one of the ancient irrigation canals that crisscross the country as part of a system built 5,000 years ago. The pigs came up out of the marsh, crossed the dike, then trotted off over gently rising ground to the drybroken country beyond." The sight astonished me. The pig is about as unpopular an animal as can be found in a Mohammedan country, and my guide assured me there would be more if we went along a. little farther. In fact, he seemed to feel the number of pigs in the country was in creasing. His reason was that since the lion was either extermi nated or driven out of much of the country about 40 years ago, the pigs now have only man to fear. But since Mo hammedans won't eat pigs and kill them only when they be come a nuisance, their num bers have undergone an in crease in certain areas.

Potatoes are especially plen tiful; of excellent quality; in creasingly popular for foil wrapping and baking both in doors and outdoors. Scrub the bakers, prick twice with a two-tined fork to prevent "ex plosions"; rub generously with butter or margarine; wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Place wrapped bakers in hot coals 45 minutes to an hour before baking time. Oven baking takes about the same time. Serve with chived sour cream, plenty of butter or a creamy cheese sauce. Other August vegetable plentif uls include green beans, carrots, celery, corn, cucumbers, onions, bunched vegetables, squash, green pep pers, peas, eggplant. Tomatoes are of superb quality. Lettuce and romaine heads were never handsomer nor better buys than right now. Poultry and Meat. Chickens and turkeys continue to give us the most for our money, compare favorably even with hamburger and frankfurters. Beef prices are lower and week-end ads are likely to re veal some very good buys. Hams and picnics are best pork buys. Eggs continue to be one of our very best buys, price-wise and protein-wise. Dairy Products Plentiful. Ice cream is a genuine dessert bargain; will delight the chil dren when scooped into a glass then topped with root beer, cola or any of the flavored carbonated bever ages. Serve with straws for sipping, spoons for spooning. Cheddar cheese is a bargain when used for main dish of a meal. Keep plenty of cottage cheese on hand.
