TURKEY GROWERS
NAME OFFICERS
FOR THIS YEAR

Members of the Turkey Growers
association of the valley met last
night in the Holtville- chamber of
commerce to elect officers and to
make plans for marketing this
| years crop.
All officers were reelected: Mrs
, w. w. Copeland of Holtville, presi-
dent; Albert Drummer of Holtville,
secretary. and George Boden and
E. r. Long, both of Brawley, direc-
| tors.
The representation at the meeting
was not large, those present repre-
senting approximately S75 birds.
Discussion of marketing followed
the election and it was decided to
kill and dress the turkeys on the
ranch. deliver the birds to town and
arrange for transportation by truck
in a refrigerator cooler
BY this means the birds can be
hung, instead of packed, ard they
arrive at their destination in much
more presentable condition.
The directors plan to meet in
the next few days for the purpose
of selecting a manager, after which
they plan to interview other grow
ers in regard to shipping with them.
George Winwright, assistant farm
advisor, was also present at the
meeting. He stated today that the
turkey crop, according to a rough
estimate, is IS per cent less than
last year Growers have been
offered 2l cents per pound live
weight in the local market. which
is not a good price The San Fran
cisco market has ranged from %
to- 81 cents per pound, according to
the quality of the birds. It is an
ticipated that the market will i'm
prove in the holiday season.

giving and Christmas trade.
A $4,000 car rise in the weekly
car loadings was expected, at least
part of it believed due to larger
grain shipments to terminal points.
Freight cars were held in readiness
for belated fall grain movement.
Railroads whose revenues have
been sharply reduced in agricultur-
al regions by the failure of the
farmers to send grain to market
foresaw a chance to better their
last quarter earnings statements.
In all sections the rise of wheat
was the chief topic of discussion.
Newspaper reports were carefully
scanned and in the cities grain
brokers received scores Of inquiries
as to the latest quotation.
Agricultural students pointed out
there should be marked improve
ment in the grain situation through
the next year. With winter wheat
planting sharply reduced and a
large part of the farm board stocks
being moved to fill export demand,
they asserted prices should be bet
tered due to reduced stocks.
On the Chicago Board Of Trade
where the bulk of trading on the
advance has been conducted, trad
ers asserted that for the first time
in months the general public was
investing in wheat. Most of the
large traders who participated in
the start of the bull movement have
now sold out their lines, they re-
ported Other world markets are
now following Chicago movements
closely, traders said indicating that

Says Holmes

Happy Harry" Holmes was a pro- fessional goalie for IS years, last appearing in the National League three years ago with the Detroit en- try. A year ago his first managerial effort at Cleveland won the Interna- ,tional league championship. The In- dians are in the running this winter, alse. sfeE
 Hockey would rival baseball if had my way for a few years," Holmes once told me, "I'd sprinkle ed States with outdoor skating ponds and start the high school kids in the game. Fifteen years of that and the country would be full of major league hockey talent. American born. You know most of our players now are Canadian"
 Holm3s Is one whos declares that Howie M orenz, the great center of the world champion Les Canadiens. is the greatest performer in the game. He rates Stewart of the Mon- treal Maroons a phenomenal goal- getter, but believes that Morenz is as good at ecoring and playing making and far ai.ead in defensive ability.
 And while we're on the subject. hockey has it's Babe Ruths. Mickey COchranes, Hack Wilsons-yes, and even it's Art Shires. Shore of the Bruins is a star among defense men. drawing seasons salary of $12,000 or thereabouts, Clancy of Toronto. Johnson of the Rangers and Stewart and Conacher of the Maroons belong in the group also. Roy Worters. N. '. Americans goalie, happens to be in class with Mickey Cochrane as 9 backstep.
 The game now needs American stars, Holmes believes. He reasons that 1t would be far more interesting to the fans if each team had one or two homegrown puck -chasers.

HoclEey's .Bosey Man"

There was . time when Canada mothers kept their youngsters hl- doors at night by the mere mention of the name Saskatchewan Eddie" Shore. Eddie was the "bogey man" of hockey, and he carried that repu- tation to the Boston Bruins of the National League. Only 2 few seasons ago he got something like three hours of sleep in the penalty boxes during one winters schedule. other bad men" of the hockey ranks. It's almost impossible any more to ret Shore or Babe Eiebert or Red Dutton into, g. fight on the ice. They avoid the collisions when- ever possible. However, all this may have been done because their respective features no longer will hold a doctors stitches.

 Hockey and Patrick are synon- ym0us in New York; he took it there, installed it in Madison Square Garden and as pilot increased it's favor. Prior to that, Patrick partic;- pated in 12 Stanley Cup playoffs, which is equivalent to a dozen 0f basebalrs world series classics.
 There :s story that Patrick, while playing for Victoria, pulled off a rather nifty piece of dental surgery in Coast Hockey league city about IF years ago He waa ripped and his fest flew into the air.
