TURKEY GROWING ON LARGE
SCALE ON MINlDOKA PROJECT
(From New Reclamation Era)

On the Minidoka project, Idaho,
the past ear was favorable for tur-
key raising, and that enterprise be-
came an important part of the in
dustry on many farms. Al the
birds developed in size they became
conspicuous, and the large number
and wide distribution of the focks
was manifest. 1t was not uncom-
mon in driving over the project tc
come upon droves of several hun
dred. but the average farm flock
was probably not over SO turkeys.
d. L. Carlson, whose 4O-acre Farm
is 5 miles northeast of Rupert, man-
aged a flock of 700 bronze turkeys
an 1924. About 625 OF the holida.-
birds were Matched during the yea
the remainder being old hens and
~gobbters. ME-. Carlson's forty is
very well adapted to turkey grow
ing. being in a Territory Of clean.
sandy soil. with close access to free
range. adjacent to running water in
a large project lateral amt vet not
in the "subbing" district, where
dampness might be detrimental to
the health mf the stock.
The Carlson turkeys did so xsIl
in 1924 that this grower is now
planning To go into the business TN
a larger scale. He believes that on
so acres along the project boundary
where the birds can be ranged ON
unentered public land, he can sue
cessfully raise at least 1000 tur-
keys. This nunfher in his estina-
ton would justify the employment
of a heEder, who could drive the
flock to and from the range. and
devote his entire attention to The
care of the birds.
In suzanne the turkeys require
very little feeding, their diet CON
.sisting largely of veed seeds, green
feed. grasshoppers and other in
;sects. However. Mr.. Carlson last
year fed some wheat throughout
the summer to keep the flock IL,
good tone. AS the holiday season
approached and f~attening became
desirable, a mixed ration of corn.
cooked potatoes and wheat was fed.
The potatoes were boiled in a home
made cooker improvised from old
oil barrels, and the birds were per
mitted to peck at this cooked food
whenever hungry. They ate it with
apparent relish. Shell. grit and
charcoal were made available at all
times.
Sitting hens were kept in indi-
vidual pens, each turkey hen ov-
ering about IS eggs. The nests
were on the ground. but the pens
were SO arranged hat the hens
while sitting could be protected from
the sun and from disturbance by
, 1925-03-11

the other turkeys. On the Carlson
farm SO hens were set and about
625 young birds brought to matur-
ity. 1t is therefore apparent that
the ratio of grown stock to eggs
set was close to 20 per cent.
Another large flock of turkeys
was raised by Mr.. and Mrs. A. w.
Posey on an S0-acre farm two miles
south of S~pringdaie in the South
Side pumping division The Poseys
brought about 500 turkeys through
the season out of 1850 eggs
Matched Heavy losses occurred on
account of coyotes. theft, and road
traffic The Posey farm is bounded
on two sides by graveled highways
and automobile traffic is quite
heavy. A considerable number of
the poults were killed by passing
cars. and several matured turkeys
Were run over by careless drivers.
Mrs. Posey set 9S hens. Their
nests were made on the ground and
no pens were used. but the hens
were separated by wire netting.
Many of the nests were stolen, brit
whenever possible to find the hidden
clutch the eggs were gathered and
the hen provided with a setting in
"a protected place where care cnulJ
be given her.
The Young turkeys wera fed ,cota
tage cheese. mixed With a 1iSt,e
black pepoer: hard boiled eggs
shells and all: and game grain. At
fattening time sugar beets were cut
up and fed with co-n and wheat.
The mature turkeys were not fad
during the summer. but were al
lowed to roam at will. Mrs. posev
believes that the damage the birds
do to the w crops is p,ore
than offset by their destruction of
keep down bugs of all kinds. She
states that the alfalfa crop on their
