Good Turkey 'orecast ByFelixWrigk By Lillle I Madsen Statesman Farm Editor SIL.VERTON That turkeys are going to be pretty good this year is the opinion of Felix Wright, owner of the Silver Falls Turkey hatchery at Silverton. Wright is taking 5,000 poults off the "nests' t the hatchery each week. This has. been going on since February S3 and will likely continue to mid June, the hatchery owner reports. There are now 11,000 poults In ri hrrrator at th hateherv. While some of these are to be soldi for shipping, many will remain for the Wright poultry ranch. The ranch, which is . the former Sil verton golf course, now has 2500 breeder hens. Montana and Utah re the heaviest purchasers out side ml Oregon breeders, Wright adds. But there Is plenty of range on the Wright ranch and with the belief that turkeys "are going to be okay this year", the owner will increase the laying stock consid erably. Besides hatching the broad- breasted bronze, which is the vari ety he raises himself, Wright has been doing considerable custom hatching for the Ellison Turkey project at Mulino. Here Beltsville whites, the small family-sized turkey are being specialized in. These, turkey growers say, are largely a boiler turkey and find their biggest outlet in cities. Port land, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles are the places where this bird Is nost popular. But, Wright says, there Is a definite consumer demand, especially where the smaller family of two, three or four, desire a whole bird. It Is an ideal bird for apartment house cooking, Wright believes. It may gain popularity as It becomes better known, he thought. "But these Oregonians, Wright added, "Well, they haven't gone too heavily for the smaller bird yet. May be they are more price conscious and feel they get more for their money in the heavier bird." , There Is a premium of some thing like 10 cents a pound to be paid for the white turkey. The Beltsville Whites, which are com paratively new throughout the na tion, were introduced in - Oregon on any commercial scale, less than two years ago. "But : Oregon poults of either variety," Wright said, "are wide ly known and in considerable de mand. ! - : A lot of breeder hens and toms were lost during the- winter through "mud-disease" and, these are being replaced by turkey pro ducers. , CropF 2 Boys Admit Shop Burglary Two burglaries of the Reinholdt and Lewis shop at 560 S. 21st st. were cleared Tuesday by city de tectives with the apprehension of two 11-year-old boys. - The youngsters admitted to po lice that they had entered the building March 11 and March 18 by squeezing between sliding doors at the south side of the building. Listed as stolen were 50 feet of Bead chain, two staplers, two screw drivers, two pair pliers, two .. pair side cutters, and two steel tapes. Part of the loot was return , ed by the two boys. -0-Vac to Send Engineers Inspection of the Continental Chemical Co. plant on Cherry avenue will be made over the coming weeks by two engineers cf the Ray-O-Vac company which recently purchased the local con cern.
