Tennessee has name for rails
ing turkeys. and the said birds
sold here last Christmas for 60
cents a pound. Turkeys need
big ranges. such as could be had
very cheaply in McNairy county.
Blackhead is a disease that car
ries most of them off, but it has
been fonnd that tincture of ipecac
is specific against blackhead.
The Bureau of Animal Industry
of the United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington has
information as to its use. prin-
cipally as a preventive, in black
head. There is no reason why
turkeys should not be raised on
a big scale in McNairy and ship
ped East at a very large profit
The independent also mention
ed the, fact that strawberries
could be raised to good advantage
threre, and so they could. I'm
der favorable circumstances more
than $1,000 worth of strawberries
has been raised to the acre here.
At least half that much could be
made in McNairy. The Depart
ment of Agriculture gives the
following as the varieties of
strawberries suited to Tennessee:
Bederwood, Bubach No. 5, Cres-
cent, Candy, Greenville, Haver-
land, Michel Early, Lady Thomp-
son, Warfeld and Wilson. The
Klondike and Candy are specially
recommended as late varities for
West Tennessee. Red raspberries
will also do we'll there, but | will
have to defer that subject till an
other letter.
