Imperial Valley Turkey Raisers
association directors met today in
The farm bureau office to close the
season just past, which, according
to W. J. Stewart of Calipatria, pres
ident, was successful from the assoc
ciation'S viewpoint. He expressed
satisfaction with the association,
which secured considerably better
prices for its members in spite of
the prevailing low prices, than the
independent dealers offered.
When asked regarding the poor
market this year, Stewart said he
was unable to explain the situation,
as there was no cold storage surplus,
and the production, though some
what greater, was no higher than in
past years. He said chickens this
year were higher priced for the
Christmas market than turkeys,
which. to his knowledge, is without
precedent.
Fifty-thrcc new members were
added to the association the past
year, according to y. l.. Drummer,
secretary manager, making Il total
Of l53 turkey growers in the asSo-
citation. which has members in all
