Woman's Venture In Turkey Raising.
A farmers wife near Parsons has

living seven miles southeast OF Par
sons. Last spring she started to raise
this years crop of turkeys with a big
flock Of young birds. She worked hard
during the spring and summer months
to keep the rats and rain from getting
away with them Last fall she looked
upon the flock of fine large birds.
When she rounded them up and
brought them to Parsons to market
there were 1913 of them. and as the av-

received more than $3.50 for the two
