Hut seriously, how Ions will a ocld storage turney hold good? Does the quality of an Oregon urkey Impiovo by reason of ihe fact that it was killed prior to Thanks giving day, shipped to San Francls ?o, sent back to Portland for the Christmas t-ade, and then held over to Ne v Yei-r's dav? Is an Oklahoma or Nebraska tur key killed perhaps a month ago and shipped on Ice half wny across the continent, just what tho t average Port laud consumer wants at tho Now Year's dinner? There is no use "taking thought on what ye shall eat" at the coming holiday. That little problem has been most happily solved by the market men. All the consumer need do is wince nnd pay the price. If he elcr-ls turkey. It will bo a storage bird: if ho calls for a goose it will be taken off the Ice for him; if ho decides on a duck for the New Year's dint.er ho will likewise get the ''cured" article. And the price that will In all probability be In line wilh the good things that wero In demand at Thanksgiving time nnd Christmas. Tho cost, as at the other holidays, is likely to be 20 to 40 per cent higher than In previous yearn.
