Two Thanksgiving Days Mean
Two Turkey Settings In Ashe
Markets Expected to Open on
November IL. Prices May
Be A Little Higher.

The two observances of
Thanksgiving Day this year
should strengthen the market for
turkeys, the traditional piece de
resistance of the holiday feast
and this is of much interest to
Ashe county, the largest raiser of
turkeys in North Carolina.
President Roosevelt has al
ready proclaimed Thursday, Nov.
%, as national Thanksgiving Day
and a number of Governors have
taken issue with the President
and declared that Thanksgiving
for them will be held as usual on
Thursday, November 80. "
North Carolina, it seems, will
stick to Nov. 80, while South
Carolina and perhaps Virginia
will move up to Nov. 23rd.
This confusion means that the
turkey markets here and in the
county will open about Nov. H..
The prices this year may be a
little higher than last year when
the average was around TIC.
c. F. Parrish, of State College,
says that turkey raisers should
follow a program of concentrated
feeding to have their birds ready
for the first holiday market.
FINISHED young turkeys comes
with maturity" Parrish said,
"and maturity can be hurried
only by feeding sufficient guam
titles of the proper food mater
ials. 1t is generally considered,
even under favorable conditions,
that from 26 to % weeks are re-
quired for normal full feathering
of young turkeys. This is neces-
sary to avoid having short pin
feathers when the birds are
picked and dressed"
If turkeys are being prepared
for the November q Thanksgiv-
ing Day market, they should have
plenty of grain now, this to be
supplemented with a good grow
ing mash, the specialist stated.
The mash mixture is needed to
cause growth as we'll as other
proper finish in fat and flesh.
In tests at State College, it has
been found that from 3 IL to
4 1-2 pounds of mash and grain
are required to produce one
pound of live turkeys up to the
18th week.
Parrish recommends yellow
corn as a fattening feed. Barley
is also considered very good

AsheCOunty
By GARRETT EDWARDS

Just across the Blue Ridge noun
tains,
Ashe county lies;
Her green fields and pastures
Gives hue to the deep blue sky.
Her people are very wealthy
Though not in silver or gold;
But so many things of nature
I think they should be told.
Our springs of water, so clear
and pure,
That bubble from the ground;
Are really Fountains of Youth
That DeLeon never found.
Our orchards of many apples
Are tasty, mellow and sweet;
What better on winter evenings
Could people wish to eat?
Our forests of different hard
woods
Which are the best in our land;
Furnish lumber for our homes
And for the work of man.
Our summer climate is wonderful
An ideal place for work or play:
And many a tourist has remarked
It's here I'd like to stay.
Our people are very thankful
For all these things at hand;
There are more of them here
Than any place in our land.

Duca Trio 10 Settle
Ring Problems for
D. {. Fans Tonight
Futures Of Furr, Abrams,
Queries Up to Brothers
In Battles Here

Some mighty pertinent questions
concerning the fistic futures of
George Abrams, Phil Furr and Nor
ment Quarles will be answered to-
night at Turner's Arena where that
trio tees off against small army of
mittenmen known as the Duca
Brothers, Mickey, Joe and Johnny.
A fourth 8-rounder between Eddie
Dunno and joey Spangler completes
the card-Promoter Goldie Ahearn S
last of the year.
First of all, the folks want to
know how much good has come of
George Abrams schooling in New
York under the the agency of Signor
Chris Dundee. Rumors have been
waited about that George is much
improved fighter since mingling with
older more experienced talent in
Gotham and it is a matter of record
that he appeared in the better clubs
while there.
Big Test for Quarles.
There also is talk of obtaining a
championship match for him with
either Al Hostak or Ceferino Garcia,
rival claimants to the crown, and
the fans would like to know whether
the District boy really has chance.
Then there is Quarles' angle. Has
the former Southern Conference
champion really hit the skids, or.
was last weeks knockout at Charley
Corners hands one of those freak
accidents? Can Norment still hit
like the night he punched one of
Lou Gevinson's eyes closed and won
unanimous decision? Is his ring
generalship as good as it was last
year, or is Norment ready for the
ash heap?
How about old Phil Furr's legs,
will they carry him eight fast rounds
against a young clup fighter with
little respect for age? Can Phil
offset his younger opponents brawl-
ing style with clever boxing or will
Johnny Duca be too strong Tor him?
Dunno, Spangler Well Matched.
The answer should be interesting
and we have Promoter Ahearns S
word for it-a whole sentence as
matter of fact, that the Ducas
will help shed some light on the
trio'S future. For the sake of the
record Joe Duca meets Abrams and
Mickey will be Quarles' partner.
The Dunne-Spangler fight, which
should be as good as any other,
is thrown in for good measure by
Ahearn. It may steal the show.
