The practice Of driving turkeys to

one time driving on foot was regu-
lar means of marketing, everywhere.
In the early days, buyers for New
York and Boston markets collected
the birds from the farmers until a
large flock had been gotten together,
and they were driven over the road to
market in very much the same way
that young stock is now sometimes
collected and driven up to the pas

farm flocks are pretty scarce now
east of the line marking the pres
ence of the destructive blackhead
disease that has made turkey raising
uncertain and improbable wherever
it prevails. West of Iowa, however,
turkeys in large focks can still be
raised successfully, and for this rea-
son and others the center of produc-
ton has specially retreated toward
the land of mild, dry climate and low
priced grain, in the southwest. The
great bulk of turkeys offered for sale
in New York and Boston are raised
