Monthly Marketing Of Turkeys Seen From OSC Research Fresh turkeys may start mov ing to market every month of the year If research at Oregon State college continues to be successful. Local News In Brief Judge and Mrs. Garnet Barratt returned early this week from Phoenix and Tucson, Arizonai where they have spent the past two months.

Harper, OSC poultry man, reasoned that if the turkey hens could be tricked into lay ing eggs during other seasons, turkey growers in mild climates like in Oregon could hatch and produce turkeys for fresh markets the year around. Knowing that changes in len f'th of day can often affect the egg-laying habits of poultry, Harper decided to try to change the egg-laying habits of turkey hens by keeping them in dark ened pens where their "length of day" could be controlled. Starting in August, he kept 8 month old hens on nine hours of light a day for three weeks. Then, he used artificial lights along with regular daylight to give the hens a day length of 17 hours. The scheme worked. During, September through November, the hens laid about half as many eggs as they normally do in early spring, almost enougn 10 mane the idea practical. Harper thinks he can make the hens do better, however, and has several other tricks he wants to try. If he's successful, fresh turkeys from Oregon farms may be reaching mark(ts every day of the year.
