Good Turkey

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. ,
