TURKEY SEASON HERE
Bronze Birds In Good Shape. Cuero
Reports State.

Cuero. Tex. Oct. 27.-With the
turkey season opening the first of
the coming week. conditions We're
never more favorable for the Thanks
giving run. A seasonable fall has
given the turkeys splendid green
range, and grass seeds. weeds. bugs
and grain have put them in tip top
condition and ready for q real rush
III case the price opens around what
the far:Iers consider a fair price.
The Dewitt county turkey crop is
perhaps 20 per cent greater than last
year and is particularly heavy in
the MeyerSville section from which
place the big drove was driven in
in 1872 for the eighteen thousand
turkeys in the Cuero Turkey Trot
parade.
If the price opens short however.
the farmers are in splendid shape to
hold back for the Christmas market.
Few expect prices quite up to last
year on account Of n larger crop and
cold storage supplies. but a material
reduction is sure 10 create a greater
demand among people of moderate
means who have been "laying off"
the light and dark meat the past two
seasons on account of the price.
