Fur Price Declines
Affect Turkey FIocks

BY the Associated Press.
MASON, TeX-When fur prices
decline, so do the wild turkey f1ocks
OF the Texas hill country.
When prices are off, fewer foxes
skunks, opposums and other small
animals are trapped. They raid the
wild turkey nests and that leaves
fewer eggs to be Matched.
Henry Keller, game warden, says
a mother fox will locate two or three
f1ocks of turkeys and will stalk them
daily until every baby turkey is
gone.
