Scarcity of Turkeys.

Not for years has there been such a
scarcity of turkeys in the local market,
and as one dealer expressed it, " Turkeys
are the poorest, highest and scarcest of
all birds.'' Native turkeys are selling
are few at this price. The annual
turkey trains on the railroads to the
city markets were not run this year as
the farmers had no turkeys to send to
market. In the St. Johnsbury markets
there are no western turkeys, but there
is small supply from Kentucky. Geese
are also scarce, but there are chickens for
everybody and they are selling at fair
price.
