Townsend, Nov 22.-It is said
that the turkey crop is so large
that the price will probably be 20
per cent lower than it was last
year. Last season the fowl proved
exceptionally fine and the prices re-
manned uniform and were main
tanned by fairly brisk demand
during the holiday seasons. De-
spite the predictions of big drop
in prices, the turkey growers are
hoping for a fair return upon their
investment and trouble in produc-
ing fiocks of the fowl that are be-
lieved to be fully up to the stand
ard of other years and worthy of
sound market value. So far as
as known the growing of turkeys
hereabouts is more extensive than
last year.
The various dirt roads were CIV
en- attention during the past two
weeks and more of the needed inn
provements are to be added before
the real wintr weather sits in.
Some miry places remain a menace
to travel and these are to be fixed
