Itt reply, to your query as to the
outlook tor proms in raspberry
production, both black and red,
will say the future seems bright,
and I would most heartily recom
mend additional plantings in local

The black cap thrires better in
the Willamette valley proper than
the red. and for this reason could
be planted more generally than
the red, as the red raspberry re

TURKEY SEASON IS
E
The Great American Bird
Struts Across the Stage
in His Annual Strut
Because of .Its striking charac
teristics and its meritorious qual
ity as, a table fowl supreme, the
turkey is a sort of monarch of the
poultry kingdom. Time-honored
custom makes it the great Ameri
can bird at this season of the year,
none daring to challenge or dis
pute its claim to premier position
as the piece de resistance at the
holiday banquet table. . ,
Little is defihitely.known of the
exact origin of the furkey, except
that it is a descendant of the wild
turkey which was once so plenti
ful from Canada to Mexico, but
which is found in Its wild state to
day only in a few unsettled sec
tions of its former wide range. The
turkey takes its name from Tur
key, the country in which it was at
one time erroneously thought to
have originated, but its true habi
tat is America. One species (the
Meleagrta .gallopavo.) of which
there are several varieties, origin
ated in North America and Is the
true ancestor of our present do
mesticated turkey. ; The otker
(Maleagris AKriocharis ocellata.)
is a native of Central America, and
is smaller than the North Ameri
can wild turkey, and i has never
been domesticated to any extent.
Our six varieties; of domestic tur
keys, the Bronze, White Holland.
Itourbon Red, Black. Narragansett
and Slate, all owe their origin to
the wild turkey. While not yet
extinct, the wild turkey, like the
American bison, has hud to give
way to the advancing march of
civilzatlon. i . ,
Because of the bird's popularity
during the holiday season, turkey
raising in the United States has
become a very important branch,
or tne poultry industry. Although
readily adaptable to almost every
section of the United States, the
most important sections of, pro
duction are the middle western
and southwestern states. In these
states an enormous ,' number of
small flocks make up the bulk of
production, although' many large
commercial flocks add materially
to the turkey population of the
country. . The census of 1920
shows the six leading states in the
production of turkeys to be Texas,
MIsouri. Oklahoma.' California.
Kentucky, and .Virginia.. Formerly
large numbers were raised in the
New England states, but in recent
years there has K-cu a marked

which very decidedly marks a de
crease in the entire country., .In
1900 there were 6.594.695 tur
keys on the farms in the United
States which number had' de
creased to 3,688,708 by 1910.
There was another slight decrease
by 1920. when the census enum

The difficulty of rearing as

in so many flocks, and the annoy

trespass occasioned by far ranging
Characteristics, have undoubtedly
been strong factors which have
had a tendency to discourage far
mers in turkey production. In
spite of these obstacles, however.
turkey raising is a profitable busi
ness tinder proper methods of
management where conditions are
suitable. - j
As a matter of fact, the art of
successfully raising turkeys is one
comparatively easy to master. Con
stitutional vigor is absolutely nec
essary in the breeding flock, a fac
tor which too many turkey raisers
over look when they come to mate
up their flocks. The turkey has
a roving disposition, which fact in
itself enabled it in the wild state
to keep free from contaminating
disease, and on free range a varie
ty of foods such as insects and
waste grains insured a healthy
growth. The turkey raiser should
select a suitable location with
strictly sanitary conditions and
provide range if he would succeed
In raising the birds at a profit.
Economy of production is a thing
to be considered, and the open
range reduces the cost of feed and
naturally increases the profits.
Care in the feeding of the young
noults is fundamentally necessary.
Do not feed the poults too soon

ing soon enough, and then spar
ingly but often. If not overfed,
they (are Just as easily raised as
other poultry, although they must
be kept in absolutely dry quarters,

Of all our domesticated varle
ties, the Bronze has become the
most popalar, ; probably because
of Its immense size and also be
cause it more nearly resembles
its wild ancestor. The Standard
calls for a 36 pound mature cock
bird in the Bronze variety.! but
this size is seldom attained in the
ordinary flock. . 1

Distinguished by the rich, brilliant
coppery sheen of plumage1 against
a background of black and brown,
together with, the white barring of
the wings, the wide white edging
in the main tail feathers and the
carunculated head, the contrast
is both pleasing and complete.
while the prices obtained for
turkeys is almost invariably higher
than that for chickens and this
branch of the poultry industry
holds out an alluring offer to em
bark in the business, the uncer
tainty of market conditions i dur
ing the holiday rush is a factor
which makes many prospective
turkey raisers afraid to take the
gambler's chance. I
There are many farmers in the

This will introduce y6u to Hector Adams, of 15th and D Sts.,
Salem, the man who grows chrysanthemums as large as cab
bage heads. Not Lake Labish cabbage, but the average sized
head that you cook for dinner, but in case that does not con
vince you of its size, I will tell you that I had to crush the pe
tals together in order to make it fit into the crown of Eddie's

Dear Mother is always so afraid. that J am going to get into
a "Jack Pot,'. whatever that is. that, whenever I go to a flower
shop and she sees my eyes getting as big as saucers, and a great
deal of earnest appeal in my voice as I entreat the florist to tell
me Just when to pinch in chrysanthemums and select the proper ?
bud to leave, and all that stuff, that she just politely takes me
by the ear and leads me home. But the other day I got her
off to a rummage sale and I. went out exploring and discovered
Hector Adams' wife in their new shop on Court street, where
fhe .stood among the flowers, as fair a picture herself as the
pink rosebuds in the window, and as charming and gracious as
the Lord ever permits anybody to be. I had only stepped in
there to rave and exclaim and groan as I do when I run out of
adjectives, for I had no thought of buying 'a flower. , (Land
Gracious, I should say not, until that barn roof is fixed, which
still has the same shakes on it that it started out with when
this was a donation land claim and the Beatty family built it
and the house, 49 years ago last spring.) But the lady gave
me that blossom, a rare, white Turner Chrysanthemum, and it
is a great pity that she did not give me a sign to wear on my
back, saying that the flower was grown by Adams, the florist,
for everywhere I went that flower simply held up traffic. At
the soldiers' beautiful monument (say. I don't like that barbed
wire around his feet), the visitors in town for the corn show
looked at the soldier, and also at the flower; at the sheriff's
office, where I stopped to inquire after the health of my friends
boarding with him, the copper "still" did not prove half as at
tractive as that flower, and. indeed, as I proceeded down the'
street, judging from the following I collected, you would have
thought that I was the Goddess of Liberty, enlightening the

jyou must have hens that lay eggs,

Buchanan, extension specialist in
poultry at the Washington Agri-

Feed for Production
It is not enough to have hens
bred for egg production; they must
also be fed for egg production
The feed must be properly bal
anced. It must have one part of
digestible protein to four and six
tenths (4.6) parts of digestible
carbohydrates.
Then the feed must be given In
such a way that the hens are ac
tive all day and go to roost with
full crops. Usually, this can be
accomplished by feeding all grain
in a Jitter four to six inches deep.
Give one-third of it for breakfast
and two-thirds of it for the after

JSome Other Points
Other points besides efficient
production, which are essential to
success are having enough hens;
keeping the production costs as
low as possible; and marketing

of the Oregon But

of dairy production at the Oregon

Oregon now produces annually
a 4-million pound surplus of but
ter and is in dire need of a steady
and profitable market, since she
was herself a few years ago im
porting nearly half the butter she
used, and markets have dropped
behind production. To hold such
a market the creamerymen must
improve the quality and turn out
a uniform product of good flavor.
"It is difficult to go into the
butter markets today and. buy
even 100 pounds of good butter,'
says Professor Chappell. "This
means better cream, as good but
ter cannot be made from stale, off-
flavor cream. First grade cream
is worth more" than poor cream
and provision should be made for
paying more for it." ;
Have Something to Show
To those who object that they
are paying , all the fat is worth
now, Chappell says, "Let's lower
the standard." i If ordinary sour
cream making 90 points butter
brings 35 cents, then for top notch
cream making 92 point pay 38
cents, and for cream that will not
make 90 point pay 25 to 30 cents
Just one 10 cent out will be enough
to bring the producer to time and
make him take better care of his
cream.
"If a producer will not be talked
into better cream, then let him sell
his off-grade stuff to your competi
tor," Chappell suggests. "Either
way. you are the winner. : If we
can all get together and pay on
the same basis, we will get as
much cream as we get now. And
we'll have something to show the
big convention."

there Is Good Money in
Raspberries for .Good
Raspberry Men
B. T. Kumler, Brownsville,
wrote that, he cleared $175 on an
acre of Cuthbert raspberries last
year, above even interest and tax

the game, too, and no professional
grower.
Knight Peajcy recommends a
succession of crops, a few goose
berries, strawberries, raspberries.
filberts, prunes, blackberries, etel.
and perhaps a few loganberries.
-Gus. Freniard, out on Route 9,
Salem, wrote that he has grown
blackcaps in three states, and he
finds-that they persist only in the
Salem district. " In Michigan he
found they lasted only two or
three years, and then had to bo
dug up; and in California they
were not in it compared with this
part of Oregon.
II. WH. M. Mead,' Route 2,
Salem, wrote in part:
"For the good of the grower

It is evident that there is pood

SHERWOOD, Ore., Nov 23.-
(To the Editor.) It should be
clear that the need of western
Oregon and of Portland is more
industries, rather than more farm
ers to flood their added produce
into already supersaturated . local
markets. A period of augmented
prosperity is now developing in
America. If history repeats itself,

Portland become this city?. Many
persons mistakenly fancy that

cities bid against , her for this
giant's favor. Similar considera
tions operate to keep one of the
largest automobile plants in Amer

it would mean over 40,000 new,
