TURKEY SHIPMENTS
ARE IN FULL BLAST
FROM THIS COUNTY
MOST OF THEM WILL BE ON
THEIR WAY TO MARKETS BY
SATURDAY NIGHT.
fOURTH LARGER THAN YEAa Aga
Dealer Estimates That There viii Be
100000 Pounds Shipped From This
County This Season Income From
Them About Same az In 1918.

All OF the turkeys in Maury coun
ty will be shipped out to the markets
next week. The receipts since Mon.
day have been very heavy" said one
OF the leading produce dealers of the
city this morning.
All sections of the county have
been sending in large numbers of tur.
Keys this week. Up until Thanksgiv-
Ing the receipts were very light, and
they came from only one part of the
county. However, Monday morning
the turkeys began to roll in and they
have been coming in ever since in
''eauS s'fean IN
The market Is steady at twelve
cents. l think that they will stick at
this figure on account of the cold
wave that has hit the East. The de-
preston, in some measure, that has
been in evidence, has been due to the
warm weather. Now that real cold.
hog killing weather is in sight, I be-.
'lteve that the market will be steady.
The probability is that the great.
er part of the Christmas turkeys will
be in by the latter part of this week
or the first of next. We are having all
that we can do to dress and ship those
that we are receiving. Just as fast
as they come in, the axe Is put to
their necks and off they go to the
markets the next day.
GAS to the size OF the turkey crop
this year. should say that it will be
about 100000 pounds. This is con-
siderably more than year ago, when
it was a fourth less. 1t means that
the income from this source alone
will be between $4,000 and $4,000
this year, just about the same as last
year, when they brought a slightly
higher price"

MANY POKERS IN
b MAU W KILLED
N SPITE OF THE UNSETTLED
WEATHER FARMERS BUTCH.
Err THEIR HOGS.

In spite of the unsettled weather
this morning and the uncertainty as
to what it would be tomorrow a large
number of porkers were killed in
Maury county during the day. Farm
ers were tired of feeding high priced
and scarce corn and many of them
preferred to take some chances with
the weather rather than to continue
to feed. However, there were many
in the county who passed killing up
for the time and decided to defer it
until after the weather cleared up.
