TURKEY RAISING MAY BE MADE
VERY PROFITABLE OCCUPATION

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Despite steady increase in the
prices producers have received for tur-
keys since 1915. production has stead
lily decreased. according to figures pub
lished by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture The average
prices received during the four months
October TO January, 1856, was 10
cents pound. The average price re-
ceived during the corresponding period
in 1920-21, was 30 cents pound. In
1900, the census figures showed 1884,
800 turkeys on farms in the United
States, while in 1910, there were only
3,6SS,70S, and in 1920 there were 81
627,O2S.
Big Increase In Price.
During the past six years the price
of turkeys has Increased to the pro-
Queer more than 100 per cent, while
during the past 20 years the number
Of turkeys produced has decreased
about IN per cent, the department
states.
1t is common knowledge that tur-
keys are not easily handled. for by ma
ture they are wanderers, and they usu-
ally give considerable concern to those
whose duty 1t is to keep them on the
home premises. The almost uncon-
querable inclination of turkeys to
wander into the fields Of neigh
bors has often caused strained
feelings. and many owners Of flocks

Now for the Ship Subsidy Legislation

] calling the next congress il. extra ses-
sion after March 4. Mr.. Harding be-
lieves the country would welcome a
legislative holiday CO nine months next
year.
BY calling congress In extra session
two weeks this fall, President Harding
believes the ship subsidy legislation
can be well under way If it has not
been finally passed IN the house by the
time the regular session begins Deem
Der 4.
When President Harding yielded TO
the desire of his party leaders and did
not insist upon consideration of ship
subsidy legislation II the last session
of congress he let it be known that he
would insist on its consideration at an
early date.
The feeling is still s,rOng that it will
be impossible 10 get through any sub
sidy bill because of the pronounced op-
position manifested in various sections
of the country Nevertheless the Ex-
ecutive wants congress to go on record
on legislation which he feels must be
enacted if America is to maintain a
merchant marine.

DAIRYING GOOD sTABlLIzER
Provides Something for Warmer to Sell
at Good Prices When Other
Crops Fail.

Dairy farming should not suppISst
grain, fruit or general live stock
farming. but rather supplement them.
Dairying will prevent some of the ups
and downs in agriculture by acting
as a stabilizer and providing some
thing to sell at good prices when other
crops fail
The dairy business Is not a gel-rlcfl-
quick business, but it is safe and
sane business; a system of farming
that builds up attractive homes, that
creates more prosperity and supports
more people than any other known
form of agriculture.

Such recommendations as will he

will be chiefly for the purpose of in

ton which the administration believes
the revision eventually should take.

report year ago, Such as further
reduction in surtax on individual in

a low-rate general tax on broad class

Each of the three recommendations

Too Much Space Required for
Growing in Garden.

Garden Soil and Require Only
Moderate Amount of Fertilizer

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Peas, sometimes spoken of as Eng
lish peas, are adapted for growing
from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada,
and from Maine to California, with
the exception of few local sections
where they do not thrive. Peas re-
quire too much space for growing ex-
tensively in the small garden, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, but are especially
adapted to the farm garden.
IN Florida and certain Of the gulf
coast regions the seed Is planted in
the fall and the peas gathered during
the first days of spring. Farther north
the seed is planted in February and
March and the peas ready for use in
Nav and June. Going still farther
into New England and the northwest
they are planted In April and ready
for use in July or August, all depend
ent, however. upon the locality. In the
southern district, where the ground
rarely ever freezes, the seeds are
planted about IA inches deep, but far
Their north where late freezes are
liable to form heavy crust over the
ground the seed should be covered
three TO four inches in light sandy
soils but not quite so deep in heavier
or clty soils.

have abandoned the business of
raising turkeys on that account. Tur-
keys are also seriously afflicted by a
disease known as blackhead which has
caused heavy losses, and In some in
stances the business has been given up
entirely for this reason. These causes
of loss together with the frequent raw
ages of wild animals including dogs
and rats, have all tended to discourage
development Of the industry.
The raising of turkeys may be a
very profitable occupation where there
is an abundance of range, ample feed,
and reasonable freedom from preying
animals, the department states. Even
for those who have a limited range
there are opportunities for raising a
few turkeys each year if proper time
and attention are devoted to it.. The

Difficult to Ship Alive.
1t is very dl1ncult TO snip turkeys
alive to market since the shrinkage is
very heavy Ordinarily turkeys do not
eat very much when confined, and
therefore they are usually killed and
dressed locally and then shipped to
market, pscked in barrels or boxes.
Turkeys. like chickens, may be either
scalded or dry picked, but the dry
picked birds are preferred in most
markets because they keep better, and
there are no losses of their substance
by reason of great deal of the soluble
substance being removed by soaking
in water or by packing in ice. There
are conditions, of course, where there
is no alternative but to pack the birds
in ice and ship them in bar
