1t developed at the meeting of tur-
key raisers here yesterday that there
are but one third the usual number
of the birds in the valley, and that
hundreds of families usually feasting
on turkeys this Thanksgiving day
throughout the Southwest will have
to carve some other "piece de resist

A careful canvass of the turkey sit
uation by State Farm Leader Coch-
eron developed the fact that the first
Matching of turkeys this year was not
a success and as result the birds are
all young and for the most part con-
sequently lighter than those sent to
market last year.
Ralph Merritt, state representative
of Food Administrator Hoover, real
ing that Imperial Valley was the lar
gest turkey raising section in the
state, sent Crocheron here to urge
Valley raisers to send a million pounds
of turkey to markets needing them
most. The Middle West turkeys were
scarce, and the Texas turkey crop was
practically failure. Merritt was to
have sent two men here to see that
the turkeys were properly packed and
Grated for shipment, but Crocheron
Twill report the shortness of the crop,
and but one man will represent the

shipping turkeys.
The short feed and high prices of
milo in this region is the chief cause
Of the short turkey crop, say farmers
who usually raise large numbers.

ASKS U. S. TO SEND MONEY,

MASSES Have Become Worn Out Eco
nOmically," Says Premier in
Remarkable Interview.
(By Associated press)

Washington, Nov. 2.-Russia saved
England and France from ruin in the
'early part of the war. She is now
worn out, and it is up to the Allies
to shoulder the burden of the war, al
though Russia is not out of it. The
United States cannot send soldiers to
Russia, but should send money, iron,
boots and leather.
These are the points in an inter-
view with Premier Kerensky gained
by the Associated Press correspon-
dent in Petrograd.
1T is ridiculous to say that Russia
is out Of the war;" said Kerensky;
"those who do say so have short
memories.
Russia bore the whole brunt of
the fighting at the beginning of the
struggle, thereby saving France and
England. She fought conscientiously
from the beginning. She is now worn
out by the strain and claims as her
right that the Allies shoulder the
burden of the war. The Russian
masses doubt the possibility of at
tainment of their hopes.
"The present Russian public opin-
ion is greatly agitated by the ques-
tion, Where is the British fleet, now
that the German fleet is out of the
Baltic?'
1T is impossible for America to
send troops. Let her send money,
iron, boots and leather"
Kerensky declared voice in the
constituent assembly the most i'm
.portant factor in the future growth
of Russia.
