TO BE TURKEY MY Early Indications Show Un usual Aspects in Xmas Turkey Market. POOL IS A FACTOR Just What Kffert the Pool Being Made by the County Agent Will Hate on the Buying Price is A Vet Uncertain. Activity ln the Christmas tur key market has started and from early indications there will be some very Interesting- events during the buying season. Saturday will be "turkey day" Instead of Friday as the buyers do not want the -birds killed so early in the week. Christmas is on Saturday this year. It la expected that there will be very large number of birds for the Christmas market as many of the turkey raisers held their best fowls off the Thanksgiving market, ln spite of this fact, however, it is not believed that the number ot tur keys placed on sale, will reach the normal, as the year has been very unfavorable Tor the raising of these birds. The market conditions are very unusual, and several uncertain fac tors will enter Into the buying this year. The pool being formed by the County Agent is an unknown quan tity and just what effect It will have on the market, cannot be forecasted. Mr. Haslett states that he bos lined un over 3.000 birds for this pool in the event he is able to hold thin number when buying starts, there is no doubt but that the pool will control the market. Just what plan will be followed In disposing of the pool birds can not be stated as this will depend altogether on the price offered by the buyers. It is very probable that the pool will be held until the price offered is satisfactory when tne growers will dispose of their fowls to the various buyers. In the event the price does not go high enough to suit the turkey raisers, the birds composing the pool will be consign ed by the growers to some firm or else placed on sale at auction. It Is very probable that the pool will have a material effect ln boost- ng the price of the Christmas bird At Thanksgiving time, the dealers bought In Roseburg at iHhi cents. These same birds were sold over the block at from 60 to Ti cents per pound. Turkey raisers claim that tills is an excessive percentage of profit and hold that If the birds are to be retailed at such a sum that the profit should go to the grower who has given time and money to the raising and care of the fowls. An attempt was made at Thanks giving time to pool the turkeys of- ferred at that time, and in fact the pool then did result quite satisfac torily, county Agent Hasieit, con signed a shipment ot 66 turkeys to a poultry house, and announced the net price to the grower as 6 4 cents per pound. Consequently if a good price Is not realized, it is very prob able that more birds will be con signed this year. Outside buyers are coming Into the field again and announce that they exepect to buy heavily. In ad dition, local dealers are preparing to take large numbers of turkeyB. No price can be predicted owing to the uncertain conditions mentioned. Very probably the market will open around 45 cents with an upward endency.
