Cheaper
Turkeys Smaller,
Too, and Thut
Means Less Hash
By Richcrd RODGERS

American birds abound this
year. The Nation has record
81 million of them. That's a
20-million gain in five years.
The modern American bird,
alas 'has lost the grace. agility
and brilliancy Of color of its
progenitor. but in other respects
has been but little modified"
according to the Encyclopedia
Americana.
American bird? Why, that's
what Turks in Turkey call the
bird we call a turkey. Moreover,
the Turks description is "a far
more logical name for the lordly
monarchs of THANKSGIVING
feasts," says an essay by the Ma.
tional Geographic Society.
Big Bird Prices Cut
Grocery advertisements this
year have emphasized that COB
blerS are cheaper, with the big
ger babies undergoing the big
gest price cuts.
Turkeys have Shrunk from the
Pilgrims enormous platterfuls
to more manageable sizes. This
is largely because of researchers
discoveries at the Agriculture
Departments experimental farm
at Beltsville, Md.
Experts there devised tech.
niques at getting flesh on the
turkey while he was young, so
he could be butchered at ten
der age but still have some
weight to him. Before that dis
covery, an adolescent turkey was
a poor scrawny thing and the
grower had to coddle him along
for expensive months before he
got fat enough for the table.
Less Turkey Hash.
Beltsville birds go to market
as young as three months. They
fit into ovens better, and small
family can do away with one
quickly. Since Beltsville revo-
lutionized the bird, turkey hash
is encountered much less seldom.
Turkeys are dopes. A turkey
p0ult even has to be taught how
to eat. Unless a tom turkeys
water intake is restricted, he Is
liable to keep on drinking until
he browns.
The Aztecs raised turkeys.
Spanish conquistadors sent the
birds to Europe as early as 1877.
The most common explana-
ton for calling them turkeys
is the possible confusion of the
Spaniards' bird with the guinea
fowl, which actually came to
Europe via Turkey. ss
Male turkeys are vainglorious
and fond of strutting; real
drumstick-majors.
BENJAMIN Franklin proposed
that the founding fathers adopt
the turkey as the national
symbol.
1t Is perhaps just as well his
suggestion was voted down. The
official seal of the United States
might look peculiar If it had q
tom turkey with clawfuls of olive
branches and arrows.
