The turkey com m ittee urged that a g en eral credit policy be established o f extending cred it on new grow er* who can finance their own turkeys to eight w eeks o f age. "A m p le credit is necessary to prop erly grow out a hand o f quality tu r keys. B eginners too often think in term s o f profit rsther than costs. The principal Items o f expense are feed. poults, brooding, equipm ent, range, killing and dressing. G row ers should, roughly, provide finan ces to the extent o f the coal o f one «a rk o f feed for each market turkey." T he a b o»e Idea is the answer o f turkey raisers o f this county to the exp an sion and prom otion efforts som e times m ade to get people to raise m ore turkey* T u rk ey production In W ashington cou nty has expanded during the past few years. The turkey com m ittee estim ated that approxim ately 30,000 tu rk ey) are now being produced in W ashington cou nty annually which must be m arketed outside the cou n ty as part o f the export cro p o f the state as a whole. D routh In the m iddle west reduced the num ber o f ch ick en s and turkeys just as it re d u ced the acreages o f crops and th e num bers o f other livestock. T he sam e causes aided by agricultural adjustm ent brought about a reduced supply o f pork and other meat. T ur key grow ers who plan expansion for 1936 must recognize the fact that their product will hav,- to com p ete agairwt an increased supply o f c h ic k ens, turkes .and other meats. In the opinion o f the com m ittee “ T u r key production is an agricu ltu ral crop for w hirh W ashington cou n ty is well adapted and In keeping with general econ om ic con ditions should be encouraged, but not exploited.” T here is always a disease hazard In raising turkeys. T o get around this, experience o f grow ers in thin cou n ty has shown that su fficien t ground should be available to allow a rotation system w hich will result in a piece o f ground being used as range only once in th iee yeara. E x perience has also show n that turkeys should not be reared or ranged w ith ch ick en s or on grou n d that has re cen tly been used as a chicken range,
