Victor Klecker returned Wednesday
from a trip down the line of the North
western, where he went in search of
poultry for Thanksgiving. He reports
that he did not buy as many turkeys as
he has done in former years, because
he does not expect much demand for
them on account of the price. He says
that farmers in the vicinity of Marion,
Clintonville and New London, which
are three great poultry markets, are
this fall demanding 1Sc per pound live
weight for turkeys. When the freight
and marginal profit are added it will
bring the birds up so high that few
people can afford them and most people
must be content with liver or bologna
on that day-especially newspaper men.
The farmers of New York have, accord
