TURKEYS To BE
SOLD CHEAP
H. 3. Henrickssu Photo

Commodities which for many
years were priced above the
pocketbookS of many families
today are at levels that almost
necessitate their purchase. Espe-
cially is this true in the fancy
poultry market. where choice tur.
keys are priced at 81 to 80 cents
a pound. Chickens are priced
around 33 cents.
The market is. flooded with
choice birds and present indica-
tions are that the flood will con-
tinue until after the holiday.
Cider is selling at very low
prices, while the apples, from
which the juice is extracted, are
very high priced. This is due to
the fact that many orchardistS,
finding the quality low, put much
of the crop into cider. Choice
apples are rare in the celebrated
valley of Virginia, center of the
Old Dominion apple industry.
Most apples exhibited are small.
