TURKEYS ARE PLENTIFUL,

According to the reports Of those who
have been going through the country
districts, turkeys will bemore plentiful
and much cheaper than for several
years past. In past years the fowl
have been reported scarce and the
price kept high. This resulted in
special efforts on the part Of the
farmers to raise the birds, with the
result that the markets this year will
be well supplied. The farmers wives
will make good money from the sale Of
the turkeys, however.
