TURKEYS FOR THANKSGIVING
TRADE MUST REACH MIN0T
NOT LATER THAN NOV, 10Th

The Northern Produce Co. expect to
buy 500 turkeys day between now
and Thanksgiving day with the aid
of two immense trucks which are
making daily trips into the country
One of the trucks is equipped with
four decks and carries $50 turkeys.
The truck brot in a full load from
Glenburn one day this week. VIM.
Harris, north Of Granville, has dis
posed of 800 turkeys to this company.
There are many fiocks of turkeys in
the vicinity of Westhope and Botti
neau numbering 200 or more.
John Morrell, local manager, in.
forms the Independent that there are
80 per cent more turkeys in North
Dakota this year than last. The
Northern Produce Co. quotes 25 cents
a pound for first grade turkeys this
week and at that price the farmers
will receive as much as $500 each
for some of the birds. 1t takes some
work to raise turkeys, but the cost
is not great, considering that they
subsist mainly on grasshoppers.
Mr.. Morrell says that farmers
holding their turkeys until day OF
two before THANKSGIVING are making
mistake for the price is apt to drop
about that time. Turkeys for
Thanksgiving trade must reach Minot
not later than Nov. 20.

Owing to the late summer drought,
which was especially severe over most
of the northern and western halves

Of the state are mostly in the 2 l-2

growth was more advanced previous
to the. long drought, and hopper dam
age less severe, are more favorable
and range mostly from 6.to 8 bushels.
