MARYLAND TURKEY CROP
INCREASE is EXPECTED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, November 8.-The 1880
turkey crop of Maryland Is estimated
to be slightly larger than last year,
according to reports of turkey ra1sers
to Richard G. Ross, Federal agricul-
tural statistician for Maryland. Re
ports also indicate that Of the turkeys
to be sold in Maryland this year about
4eNper cent viii be ready for market
for tass thanksgiving season, about A
per cent fof Christmas and about 8
per cent after Christmas.
In general, the dry, hot weather OF
the past season was exceptionally favor
able for raising young turkeys and the
proportion of turkeys raised to poults
Matched was larger than usual. This
had the effect Of offsetting to consid-
cradle extent the decrease in hatchingS

Much has been said, and more
written, of the causes for the depression
from which the country Is now begin
ming to emerge. And many have tried
to forecast the future. Some people
are discouraged with the outlook
visualize a changed standard OF eco
nomic life in America; others foresee
larger-than-ever prosperity ahead.
Since the period of recession in indus

market in 1929, 1t may be said that we
are now well into the second year OF
less than normal prosperity. oeileve
the country is emerging, not alone from
indices that appear in industrial reports,
but because two years has about been

Looks for Prosperity.
And since every period Of depression
in the past 10 years has been followed
by a longer period of greater prosperity
than the one preceding, I confidently
look to fine prosperity in the not-so-
distant future.

curtailed through diminishing profits
or diminished capital, to be told that
depression Is other than very real
But there are many so-called psyche
logical factors which contribute to q
continuance of present conditions. a
very slight change in these factors viii
hasten prosperity's return. No one likes
to get their fingers burned a second
time.
When the country failed to take
heed of underlying conditions and got

facturer, the commodity factor and the
producer of raw material 1t suddenly
became a cardinal virtue to get along
with as little as possible and to hoard.
Every one Of us has been prone to haul
in all canvas and drift. Many have
been surprised with how little they can
get along.
High Standard Of Living.
The thinking person holds no brief
for wasteful extravaganza. Actually,
however, the great majority of our
countrymen have not had their in
come reduced. American prosperity
was achieved by high standard of
living on the part Of the entire Nation.

PITTSBURGH, November S.-Apart

comment Is widespread on the apa-

toners send In orders without any cor

steel statesmen are not making any In
tensive efforts, particularly by the
price-cutting route.
Even the purchasing agents Of steel
companies see an apathetic attitude,
some reporting that they are not re-

visitors as usual. With some classes
of commodities there may be strenuous
sales campaigns, but in the commodi-
ties the steel industry buys and sells
things are being allowed to take their
course.
By a close study one may see some
signs of the Autumn seasonal improve

dicted last June. There was no real
increase to speak Of In steel produc-
ton. but general business was growing
poorer, and thus there was an In
crease In steel relative to general trade.
usual time for steel to have seasonal

a rather marked decrease in the rate
of steel production.
Since October the tonnage OF steel
