were sports from the original turkeys
taken to the old world over 400 years
ago and at first were small and deli

This made them unpopular with
breeders of market turkeys, for small
turkey cuts poor figure as a Christ
mas table centerpiece. so American
turkey breeders at once got busy and
crossed them with white sports from
the Mammoth Bronze the giants OF
poultrydom. and this infusion OF new
blood not only made them harder. but
built them to size very popular at

When bred. fed and finished right
they often equal the Bronze in size.
Some urge as objection to this splen-
did variety that its color makes the
bird conspicuous mark for hawks.
We have bred white. bun and black
turkeys, and hawks have caught no
more of one variety than another. and
we can't see that color makes much
difference to a bird of prey with such
telescope sight that it can see Il gray

in the air.
