TURKEY STATE
IN UNITED STATES

L. Dana Durand. Director OF the
Census, has Just finished counting
the American turkey. and he finds
his rank decimated in every com
monwealth OF the Uniop- save IN
four distant intermourrain States.
The American turkey supply in ten
years has ben cut IN half, according
to Census Director Durand.
Between the cholera, the black
head and the az, this bird has
gobble-gobbled his way into the az
| fections Of the American people and
is wasting rapidly. Perhaps soon his
name will be but memory and fu-
ture generations may know him but
by his picture on theNcan.
In ten years the American turkey
supply has been cut about in half.
The census Of 1900 shows that where
there were In that year 6,594,695 tu
keys to go around 10000, 900 hungry
Americans, there were, according to
the late census count. but S.6sS,6SS.
clear loss of about 100000 tur-
keys. whereas the hungry mouths
have increased to more than 91.O0o,-
600.
In Massachusetts,, where the Phi
grim Father set the Thanksgiving
fashion when he solemndy shouldered
his fllntlock and potted d hefty COB
bier out Of the primeval oak. there
were but 2,645 turkeys to answer to
the roll call of Census Director Dur
and In 1910.
The leading turkey States of the
Union In 1900 were Texas with
64S,67 Missouri with 466,665, Illi-
nois with 64s,67f, and Iowa with
424, 306 turkeys. But ten years later
In 1910, Texas had 2S5.0O5 fewer of
the great American table bird. Mis-
souri, 155.O9o; Illinois 256,sos, and
Iowa S66t45 less. Here are the
four leading sources Of turkey sup
ply in the United States. whose ag-
gregate output of turkeys in 1910
was nearly 100000 birds less than
it was ten years ago.
In only four States did turkey
really increase his tribe. That was
in Idaho, where the increase was
from 1921 to 14.274; in Wyoming.
where the gain in ten years aggre-
gated 2.219; Montana, where the
Increase was from 1887 to f6.475.
and North Dakota, where S9,073 tur-
keys in 1900 have grown into 61,475
by 1910
Disease among turkeys is one OF
the greatest hindrances to raising
them.
The trouble with the turkey is
