STREAN.LINED TURKEY
SOUGHT BY SCIENTISTS

Stream-hned turkey that looks like
q duck is the goal Of department OF
agriculture scientists in a new series
Of experiments.
They recently announced plans to
try to breed a smaller fowl than the
traditional Thanksgiving and Christ
mas Day table centerpiece, and one
official said ''the more we can get
this turkey to look like a duck the
better we will like II"
The experiments seek a turkey
with-bad news for Willie-smaller
legs, with-good news for dad
broader hacks-and with-great
news for the entire family-plump-
breasted bodies.
The experiments were launched at
the departments research center at
BeItsViile, Md, because Of a demand
for small, hut mature turkeys. Well
finished young turkey toms. it was
said, usually weigh from IA to q
pounds dressed, while young hens
weigh from eight to - pounds dress
ed
What most housewives seem to
want, IL was said, Is a fully grown
bird Weighing from - to Is pounds
dressed, to fit the needs Of the aver
age family. The department also
said that cooking ovens and pans in
most homes today will not accom-
modate q dressed turkey weighing
more than IS to 20 pounds.
In the old days. the department
said, aonr grandcmthers cooked tur-
keys weighing as much as "a to 26
pounds dressed"
The department dropped a hint to
turkey raisers whose birds developed
crooked breastbones and consequent
ly bring less on the market. Exper-
iments have proved, it was said, that
the crooked breastbOne problem on a
turkey farm often can be solved by
fitting the rcosts.
Turkey production this year was
about 13 per cent under
last years production Of 17,250,00O |
birds. The decline was attributed
largely to last years drought.

and S4.2S25O for hog adjustment.
These checks were distributed to $50
farmers; 755 of whom were prOduc-
ers and POI were landlords.
In 1894 Sussex county had 139
farms under the Corn-HOg Adjust
ment Program increasing to 563 in
1885, thus showing one of the lar
gest increases of any county in the
United States. Six hundred and
eighty-three of her farmers received
checks this year of which 563 were
producers and 120 landlords. They
received $21, ,526.O5 for corn adjust
ment and sS,S97.5O for hog adjust
Tlent or a total of $23.423.55 for their
first payment.
In 1894 Kent county had 81 con-
tracts and received a total of S14.-
579.s5. This year her 70 producers
and eighteen landlords have already
received a total of $4,791.30; 3d.
20S.sO for corn and S1.582.50 for
hogs, as their first payment.
New Castle county farmers have
already received $7,1S7.25; $6,S84.75
for corn adjustment and $SO2.5O for
hogs this year. Last year she had "a
farms under contract and received
S5,264.5O for cooperating in this pro-
gram. This year 12O producers and
81 landlords will share in the pay
ments.
In 1884 the total COrn-HOg pay
plents in the State amounted to $780,
$3.50 whereas this year the first
payment amounts to almost that
amount showing that many more
Delaware farmers are participating
in this work. The second and last
payments for the 1885 contracts will
no doubt be distributed in January
1876.
