oGDENsBURG, N. X, Noy. IL
Your Thanksgiving dinner is going
to dig even deeper hole in your

That's the word coming today
from the turkey breeding farms OF
the North Country, which contrib
ute more than fifty per cent OF
the turkeys eaten in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia on Thanks.
giving Day.
Wet weather-which hampered
the work of farmers and which
continued well into the summer
months, when turkeys were getting
their start on their short lives
made inroads on the flocks of
northern New York, and this is ex-
pected to be factor in determin-
ing fall prices for the birds.
A flooded market last fall, which
resulted In the lowest prices in
several years past, discouraged
many farmers hereabouts from con.
tinuing with turkey raising, and as
a result there now is scarcity Of
the birds. Rains, which worked
havoc with all the farmers through
out the summer, caused much ILL.,.
ness among their flocks, with the
result that those who did under
take turkey growing this year suf-
fered severe losses.
One woman who owned eighty
turkey chicks in the late spring
reports that only twenty survived
an epidemic Of sickness in her flock.
Other similar turkey losses in this
section Of the State point to higher
prices for the birds when the an
nual harvest begins shortly before
Thanksgiving.
Last Years Prices Low.
Last fall, when turkeys first be-
gan to appear on the local market,
as high as fifty-eight cents was be-
ing paid for dressed birds. AS
Thanksgiving approached the price
gradually fell, and the day before
Thanksgiving as low as thirty-seven
cents was paid for dressed turkeys.
Farmers were. getting about eighty.
two cents per pound for them alive.
Earl Brown, who conducts large
farm near Chaumont, reports that
he has a flock OF about 800 birds.
This is the largest flock he ever
has raised. although he says that
had not ILLNESS struck his flock he
now would have much larger one.
He received thirty-two cents per
pound for his turkeys live weight,
