 state board of agriculture, indicating thai l there are less than 1000 of the choice
 birds in the state to make steaming | Drowned center-pieces for the holiday feast. Back in 1885 when the tota, number of turkeys in Rhode Island farms | is given by the state census as 22.767 1 their estimated value was $39,473. Ter years later the state census gives the ! total as 2247, a falling off of more thar 10000 and the value as s4,991
 The United States census of 1910 show that out of 5292 farms in the state onl,
 1e1 had turkeys. That is only three pel cent. of the farms of Rhode Island rais
 ed turkeys In the preliminary announce l ment of the 1920 census turkeys are omit ted entirely indicating that their mum Der is too small for advance notice. MT
 Dunn estimates that the falling off il
 the number of turkeys raised as abou
 twenty per cent since the 1910 census
 which would show SSS of the fast vanish
 ing Rhode Island turkeys on farms o
 the state at this time. The last censu
 gave the number of farms in the stat
