VALLEY TURKEYS
TO BE SHIPPED
IN CAR LOADS

First shipment OF Imperial VAL
ley turkeys by carload lots will be
made in the next few days when
approximately 1900 of the valleys
choicest birds will be shipped into
Los Angeles.
At the headquarters for the I'M
perial Valley Turkey Growers As
sociation on Main street between
Third and Fourth streets, prepar-
ations for packing the turkeys are
III full swing
The plant itself with its modern
equipment and methods of packing
Is OF decided interest Here the
turkeys are killed, picked, dressed
and packed ready Tor the market,
The fowls being shipped under re-
:rigeration OF course.
A. L. Brunner. manager for the
association, reports that while the
market is decidedly lower than that
Of former years, it is nevertheless
improving and may show consider
able strength as the holidays ap-
croach. Sa-a.
About so members OF the a5socia
ton are marketing this year and
the birds themselves are of excel
lent quality, although the crop, ac-
cCrding to both Brunner and D. E
Creighton, assistant farm advisor
is about 10 per cent below normal
the normal output being from
21-30,000 turkeys.
In most cases, turkey raising is a
side issue on a general ranch and
tocks range from $4,000 birds, al
though there are some flocks of
TOO or more. Consequently the
membership OF the association va
ries from year to year since the
majority OF the group do not make
turkey raising their chief business.
Imperial Valley turkeys have an
cnviable reputation in the state and
already number Of coast firms
have placed orders for Christmas
turkeys as gifts to their employees
The choicest products will be ship
ped out a few days before Christ
mas to these firms and will prove
welcome Christmas gifts to those
employees fortunate enough to re-
ceive them.

REPEAL RESOLUTION
TABLED

At the annual convention of the Central
Conference of American Rabies held in
Providence, Rhode Island, a resolution was
offered urging repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of
New York, made an address against such
action, saying that 1.-The Central Confer
ence having taken no stand in other days
on behalf of prohibition and the Eight
zenith Amendment, it would come rather
belatedly into the picture if it at this date
expressed itself in favor of repeal. In any
event, it is hardly the business of the Cen
trail Conference to indulge in pronounce
ments which would reinforce laWlessnesS
instead of enforcing the law" The repeal
resolution was tabled.
