sent fowlers forth to snare
The turkey and the wild fowl to
increase the scanty fare"
And it seems fitting indeed that the
turkey should still dominate the table
on this great American feast day. for
in every aspect it is truly an American
bird
The Pilgrims turkeys, of course,
were wild Since then the wild turkey
has retreated before civilizations de-
fofestation and the rapacity of the
hunter. Finally, at the turn of this
century, it was almost wiped out by
the chestnut blight which robbed them
of an important source of food. Never
theless. many Americans still shoot
wild turkey for Thanksgiving, for they
still exist in goodly numbers in the
East from Florida to as far north as
central Pennsylvania. changed little,
if any, from the ones Cortez proudly
sent home from Mexico in the six
teenth century.
Misnamed turkey" because it was
originally believed they came from
that country, these Central American
and Mexican birds that Cortez knew
we're the ancestors of our present-day
delicacy indeed, of all the turkeys
in the world. When the first settlers
arrived they found them common in
the New England forests. Because
they possessed an elegant flavor due to
their varied diet, they formed an inn
portant part of the colonists' larder.
As the popularity of turkey in
creased. it became expedient to cap
ture more and more wild birds or fitch
their eggs and raise them on the farm;
and as the gobbler's original frontier
was pushed back by man. his place
was gradually taken by the domes-
ticated variety.
Today turkey production is in
lively period of evolution from its old
barnyard status to the level of a live
stock industry, which this year has
produced a bumper crop of 81. 900. 900
birds with retail value in the neigh
borhood of $1OO,OOO.OOO Fifty per
cent of these birds are eaten on one
day - Thanksgiving; thirty-eight per
cent are consumed at Christmastime;
the other twelve per cent come to the
table throughout the year "a per-
centage, incidentally, that is gradually
increasing
In this evolution small and
moderate-sized flocks 900 birds or
less) are steadily disappearing while
large ranches turning out 10000 to
10000 birds a year are rapidly in
creasing in number The margin of
profit is low, the risk great; and al
though the large plant involves con-
siderable investment, it does provide
greater control over the hazards of
turkey raising. For the consumer it
also means that the day of buying
turkey at seventy cents pound will
never return. Even as with auto

and for the second twelve weeks a
growing mash" Poults reared on
properly balanced diet require little or
no fattening prior to marketing. This
natural development gives them
much better flavor than birds fattened
at the last minute.
For the first two or three weeks the
pOultS are confined to brOoder houses,
and then allowed out on wire sun
porChcS. For at least ten or twelve
weeks they are kept off the ground on
wire mesh floors for fear of contamlna-
ton by disease.
In twcnty-four weeks they are ready
for the final sacrifice. After they are
killed and dressed the birds must be
thoroughly preceded to remove every
trace of animal heat before they are
boxed
These preparations for market begin
early in November and the choice
birds are those hatched not later than
June.
The final step is the grading of the
turkey, establishing its quality and
price A choice bird is rated us
SPECIAL" or "US GRADE "A" meaning,
among other things, young hen that
is full-feshed with an ample layer of
fat over the whole carcass, free of pin
feathers, bruises, sewn skin or other
blemishes indicating improper care or
handling The other three ratings,
"Us GRADE A" "B" and &C" allow for
an increasing number of blemishes and
correspOndingly less fat and meat AS
yet only the boxes or barrels bear
grading labels, but in time choice birds
will come labeled and wrapped in cello
phane. Meanwhile the housewife seyes
and fingers are excellent gauges!
Weight is distinctly matter of
consumer choice and is easily con-
trolled by the producer. Wild turkeys
of today as we'll as of Colonial times
range anywhere from twelve pounds
for the hen to forty-fve pounds or
more for an old tom. Those weights
can be bettered in domestic birds, but
the fact remains that seventy-three
per cent of the turkeys sold today
weigh from eight to thirteen pounds.
Indeed. the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is hard at work on
ten-year breeding program that is
aimed at "streamlining" the turkey of
tomorrow into lightweight bird with
a much heavier breast Smaller fam
lies and smaller cooking equipment
are responsible. and the general pref
crence for hens in the market is due
entirely to the demand for small birds
rather than any quality difference be-
tween male and female
Apart from the romantic aspect,
there is no doubt that our modern
domestic turkey is superior to the
wild variety our Pilgrim fathers
brought to the table. Shifting for it
self, the wild bird is naturally more
muscular and less meaty. But wild or
tame. the turkey has won traditional
place in American affections, which is
now SO deep-rooted that it has unques-
tior.ably become the National Bird!
