TURKEY CROP
BELOW LAST YEAR.

The 1880 crop of turkeys fol
Montana is Is per cent below that
of last year and the turkey CROP
for the country as a whole is
about 8 per cent smaller than that
of 1929; the crop is, however,
larger than either the 1928 or
1927 crops, according to the tur-
| key reports of the Department of
! Agriculture. The increases are
reported in the east central states
and the decreases reported in the
states where the drouth of last
spring and summer was most
severe.
Several conflicting factors will
have a direct influence on deter
mining the $50 price of turkeys.
Fewer pounds of turkeys are in
storage at this time than in 1929.
This, together with the decrease
in numbers is favorable to the
seller. Unfavorable factors are
the lack of employment in con-
Stunning centers and the heavy
storage surplus of other types of
poultry. The fact that turkey is
now more generally consumed
Throughout the year in homes, no.
tells and restaurants helps to care
for the surplus.
Considering that favorable fac
tors as we'll as those unfavorable
it would seem that we may expect
a price range this year somewhere
those received a year ago.
Neither extreme high prices nor
low prices seem probable at this
time.
High prices, if there are any,
will be paid oil prime stuff only
so breeders are urged to see that
nothing but first class stuff goes
on the market. Unfinished birds,
birds, and those that
are under weight, should be kept
On feed until ready for market,
even though this involves holding
after the holidays. Care
must be exercised in preparing for
market and in shipping. Care at
his time is essential if good
prices are to be received.-A. w.
