u. 5. Turkey Supply
Sufficient for Both
Thanksgiving Dates
n Per Cent Increase
Shown as n Stutes
Advance Celebration

What with the turkey crop ex-
pected to show a 70 per cent in
crease over last year, it is begin
ming to look as If the United States
will have enough to go around for
both Of this years Thanksgiving.
And oddly enough, the percentage
Of increase in turkeys represents
the same number (22) of States
which will celebrate Thanksgiving
Day on November % this year in
accordance with the Presidents
wish.
Twenty-three other States will
ignore Mr.. Roosevelt's plea to move
the holiday up a week, and will
observe Turkey Day on the tradi-
tional last Thursday in November.
A double holiday will be observed
in Colorado and Texas. with both
dates meaning something. Missis-
sippi remains undecided, although
1t has indicated it would follow ira
dition, choosing November 30. The
District of Columbia will, of course,
follow the Presidents suggestion,
observing November %.
AS for the supply to meet the
double demand, the Agricultural
Marketing Service says there should
be some 1885,, 900 turkeys available
this year. If so it will be the largest
crop yet-the previous high total
being 27,725 900 in 1896.
The marketing service says this
years crop of turkeys won't be the

meatier.

Chicago Grain.
BY the Associated Press,

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Wheat prices
dropped more than q cent a bushel
today following the official forecast
Of scattered showers for most of the
grain belt, including the hard winter
wheat belt .,ehere serious fall
drought prevails.
The weekly weather forecast also
predicted rains In important grain
belt territory.
The price slump, which wiped out
what was left OF the steep upturn
that followed the Hitler speech yes
terday, carried December and MAY
contracts down to 81M in early deal
1ngs and thereafter prices fluctuated
nervously near that level. Weakness
in securities and uncertainty regard
Ing the European situation en-
couraged some selling. Failure Of
the Winnipeg market to follow the
decline here resulted in steadiness
after the lows had been reached.
The Kansas Weather Bureau re-
ported that September gave that
State a combination of heat.
drought and unfavorable growing
weather that has not been equaled
In any other September on record.
Few localities had as much as "a
inch of rain. Dust storms occurred
with considerable frequency in
southwestern counties.
European export demand for
North American wheat remained
quiet.
Corn prices fell about a cent with
wheat. H. c. Donovan, crop expert,
reported that throughout Northern
Illinois husking is under way. The
quality generally is good, he said,
although some late corn shows
shrinkage due to forced ripeninR.
Yields are heavy.
