Management and handling nrohlems as well as diseases and their control will be presented by specialists In those fields. The 1939 turkey crop was the largest In the history of tho coun try und freezer holdings of turkeys ami other poultry was the largest ever experienced, which lias tend ed to lower prices and cause mar keting difficulties. Greater con sumption and improved industrial conditions with lower prices for poultry are expected to have a tendency to eliminate excessive storage holdings. Conditions in 19:19, wllh slightly higher feed costs expected in 194(1, will un doubtedly, states Parker, have a tendency for fewer breeders to ho kept on farms, nnd that breeders and halchcrymen will proceed with caution.
