High lights on turkey production
outlined by McKinley Huntington
of Yoncalla, Oregon to local growers
at a recent meeting in this district
have been compiled In the form of a
report. Mr. Huntington's conclusions
bear the weight of a number of years
actual experience as one of southern
Oregon's largest turkey growers.
Mr. Huntington is a firm believer
In the natural rather than artificial
methods of incubation and brooding,
although he states that artificial
methods would probably prove suc­
cessful in the hands of the special­
ist who Is able to give all his time to
this type of turkey production.
The
methods outlined of incubation and
brooding as well as feeding were the
onees which he had applied on his
own farm in Douglas county and
found to be conducive to the raising
of a high percentage of No. 1 birds,
free from crooked breasts and other
undesirable features.
For incubation, turkey and chicken
hens both are used, while for brood­
ing turkey hens only are used. The
coops and ens, built according to
specifications named by the specialist
are set In pairs with the coops fac
ing each other and with the water
containers placed under the parti­
tion between the two pens thereby
saving labor through the use of a
smaller number of pieces of equip­
ment.
As the eggs are hatched the
poultB should be taken away from the
nest and given protection a id proper
temperature In the housM or other
convenient place until all hatchable
eggs have produced poults. Large
permanently fenced fields are divided
Into smaller portable pens for hand­
ling the growing birds.

feeding while young has a tremend­

has perfected a system of feeding that
brings excellent results when adher­
ed to from the time of hatching to
the time of marketing.
He also states that It Is desirable
to have as large numbers of birds as
possible of the same age as the man­

tremendously simplified and the qual­
ity of bird generally improved at mar­
