TURKEYS FOR
CITY MARKETS
Peninsula Raised GObbIerS Go
NOrthWard as ThankSgiv-
Ing Gay approaches
PLENTY OF BIRDS
THE FARMERS SAY

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Nov. 19-The ship
ment OF Thanksgiving turkeys ana
oysters from all the oyster fleets on
both the Delaware and Chesapeake
bays began to-day in earnest ard
every Delaware railroad train going
northward from this productive Pc
ninsula was overloaded with the es-
sentials for the Thanksgiving dinner.
Purchasers of turkeys at Harrington
admitted TO the growers that the sup
ply OF fat. young turkeys for the
Thanksgiving market Is limited and
that prices will be rather high for the
average pocketbook.
Farmers here agree that the num-
Der Of marketable turkeys in sight is
larger this year than for several sea-
sons previous. but that many do not
measure up to the fat. plump form
required by NOSE laACe houses. These
will all be fat by CLbistmas and 1t is
believed, for this reason, the Christ
mas turkey this year will be more
within the reach OF the average citI-
zen than the Thanksgiving turkey.
Many more carloads of oysters are
being sent up from the branch roads
this year than were handled last year
by the Pennsylvania system. Oysters,
II is said, are much cheaper than meat
this season and are being more gem
orally used in the homes of working
people.
