GObbler Prices

More Than "a
SAN FRANCISCO Nov Is alp)

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25 U.P)
Those people fortunate enough
to display a turkey as the center
piece of a heavily-laden Thanks
giving table, will find that they
are forced to pay at least five cents
a pound more for the bird this
year than last, survey revealed
today.
According to the Turkey Grow
ers association here, the price of
young fancy toms is 80 cents a
pound. On young fancy hens it
will be 81 to 31l2 cents a pound.
This price is to wholesalers.
The wholesalers tack at least two
cents a pound on to this price when
they sell to the retailer In turn,
the retailer adds approximately
five cents a pound when he sells
to the ultimate consumer, who by
this time is paying 35 to 40 cents
a pound for his Thanksgiving day
main event.
The increase IN price, according
to the turkey growers association,
is due partly to the fact the turkey
crop is approximately Is per cent
smaller this year than last. The
crop is late this year, the growers
reported.
Birds on sale will be bigger and
better to offset the raise in prices,
growers said.

Japanese Making Important
InrOads Into South China Trade

SHANGHAI. UP)-Although world
attention has been focused on the
expansion of Japanese influence in
North China, the penetration of
South China by the Nipponese large
ly has gone unnoticed. Yet there are
forceful indications that Japan is
making considerable progress in the
South China territory which may
become The basis of important fu-
ture developments.
The first indication of japanese
interest in the South came with the
visit of the famed Maj.-Gen. Kenji
Doihara, the so-called Lawrence of
Manchuria," to Canton, last spring.
Calls on Leaders
Although Chinese press reports in
Shanghai and North China indicat-
ed that the general was getting a
cool reception from the hitherto
anti-Japanese leaders of the South
west, the reports proved erroneous.
Doihara called on every one of the
important Southwest leaders and
met with polite interest, if not cor
diaIity. On his return to the North,

tative" of the Japanese army, who
takes his orders directly from the
Tokyo War Office, professed to be

CANADA VEERS
FROM COSTLY
WHEAT POLICY

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 25. WP)-A
government subcommittee COM
posed of three cabinet members,
charged with the task of survey
ing the whole Canadian wheat
situation, is developing new
wheat policy for Canada, it is learn
ed here.
The subcommittee consists of
Hon. G. A. Dunning, Minister of
Finance; Hon. w. D. Euler, Min
lister of Trade and Commerce, and
Hon. j. G.. Gardiner, Minister of
Agriculture.
A preliminary survey of the
committee has revealed that Cana
das wheat carry-over now stands
at approximately 215,000,O00 BUSH
els, with the new crop placed at
about 200,0O0,000 bushels Domestic
requirements are figured in the
neighborhood of 112,O00,000 bushels.
Two Policies Considered
The Subcommittee is reported
to be considering two policies for
disposal of Canadas huge wheat
holdings. One would be to market
it, not at fire sale" price, but
at price which would involve a
rather heavy loss, especially when
taken in bulk in place of being
spread over six years. The other
would be the more gradual liquid
alton at a higher price, looking to
tariff policies opening markets and
increasing the export demand. The

pleased with the results of his visit.
Later, the Japanese Formosan gov
ernment announced that it had de-
cided to send an official inspector
TO Foochow and Annoy every two
weeks. The purpose of the fort
nightly visit, it was reported, was
to Inspect" the living conditions of
the FormoSanS in Fukien.
Well Planned Move Seen
Informed observers, however, be-
lieved that the step was closely con-
nected with the program of econom-
ic penetration of South China and
intended to give the japanese resi-
dents of the area an expert coun-
sellor and director.
At japanese consular conferences
in China, held at frequent intervals,
the subject of breaking down anti
Japanese prejudices in South China
commercial circles has been given
considerable attention, and consular
officers have reported a brighter
outlook in this direction in recent
months. *
Hence, the quiet" phase of jap
aneSe activity in South China is un-
der way. There are many, includ
ing British and American trade in
tereSts, who view it with alarm.

Salmon Fishing
Beats Mining

SELDOVA, Alaska, Nov. 25. UP)
Gold mining or fishing? E.
Erickson and r. I. Mitby decided
to quit fishing for mining.
They started their fishing vessel
for Red River beaches on Kodiak
Island to share in placer workings
En- route they encountered storm,
and while waiting for it to blow
over, they tried their luck at fish
ing. They caught heavy load of
sockeye salmon.
Too busy fishing, they struck a
silver pay streak instead of gold
mining. AS a result, theirs was
the heaviest catch of the season,
netting them more than $4,000.

Dill Provides
Spicy Flavor

Drab looking dill, favorite pot
herb that previously offered its spi-
cy flavor exclusively to the lowly
pickle, has broadened its flavoring
field, according to the Extension
Service of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. "The tender spicy young
leaves of the plant, before it goes
TO seed, is a delicious seasoning, +"
says Miriam Birdseye, of this divi-
sion. She suggests using chopped
leaves to flavor the sauces for cream
ed chicken, shrimp, or other cream
ed meat dishes. "A pinch of chop
ped dill ON broiled lamb chops, fried
fish, veal outlets or steak with plen-
ty of hot butter poured over it to
bring out the flavor is delicious.
