Turkey Outlook
Is Rather Dismal
For Next Year

Not too bright a picture for tur-
key growers was painted by Noel
Bennion,, extension specialist in
poultry husbandry at an extension
meeting in Hermiston Tuesday.
Mr.. Bennion stated that there
were So, 293, 900 pounds of turkeys in
storage on January / this year COM
pared with %, 762, 900 last year at
this time, and %, 785 900 for the five
year average on that date. Move
ment into storage is expected to
continue heavily during the month
of January. It is little too early
to tell as to the number of breeder
hens being kept over, but it looks as
if there would be an increase in the
number kept in the state and posS-
IDLY in the nation.
This coupled with the anticipated
reduction in the number of poults
Matched, may mean a large supply
of Matching eggs. However, there has
been and is a good demand for
Matching eggs and poults from Ore
gon large, broad-breasted Bronze
turkeys.
There were about 80 million tur-
keys raised in the United States this
past year, which was a % percent
increase over 1898, and Is percent
over 1896, which was the previous
high year. Although there may be
a reduction in the number of poults
Matched this spring, the relation of
turkey prices to feed costs may be
less favorable this year than in
1889, and especially less favorable
than 1888, it was pointed out.
Diseases affecting breeders and

poults were discussed at the meet
ing as we'll as feeding and brood
ing problems. Feather picking came
in for considerable discussion and
it was pointed out by Bennion that
this vice may be controlled to a
considerable extent by allowing suf-
ficient room in the brooder house.
At least one square foot in the
brooder house and one square foot
on the sun porch or brooder yard
should be allowed per poult to avoid
overcrowding and feather picking.
In addition, free access to whole
oats for the young birds will assist
in controlling this vice.

Democratic Convention

The Democratic national commit
tee meets on February 5, which is
before the Republican national COM
mlttee meets. That doesn't mean
the Democrats have abandoned
their determination to hold their
convention after the Republicans.
However, the Democratic strategy is
not only to nominate after the
COP, but, even more important,
to force Republican convention as
late in the summer as possible.
The Democratic theory is the
shorter the campaign, the better.

activities.
It is the~general feeling that in
spite of the excellent work GER
tain individuals, such as J. Edgar
Hoover, are doing to control these
activities, the government is be-
ing too lax with the situation.
Closely tied up with these ac-
tivities, in the eyes of Congress,
are the labor problems and
strikes which have slowed up
work in defense industries. On
the floor of Congress, Represen-
tative Summers, of Texas, who
heads a subcommittee which is
seeking the answer to the defense
strike situation, warned that I'M
less action is taken we will have
the same situation as in France,
where manufacturers were con-
cerned for a profit and the ope-
ratives were concerned for what
they called social gains"
Mr.. Summers said that the ma
ton will not tolerate for one
split second that anybody can
paralyze the operation of these
plants upon which the safety of
this nation may depend"
It is expected that the next ses-
sion of Congress will pass rene
dial legislation which will pre-
vent all interference on the part
of either labor or employers.
