PRIME
BIRDS
MARKETED LAST YEAR.
Methods Given In Producing Prime
Birds; Sanitation Said to Be
Major Feature.
“In the turkey business for four­
teen years and always came out af­
ter marketing In the tall with a lit­
tle margin of profit," that is the
story Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Potter
have to tell as they continue in the
business on their 32 acre farm in
the North hill district. They have
worked up a neat system in brood­
ing. feeding pens, range, and water
system which permits them to be
away a day or two at a time with
someone on the place to see that the
turkeys are not stolen. Feed hoppers
are built to supply teed enough tor
the birds for two or three days with­
out refilling.
This year the Potters have 1800
birds. The first hatch came off the
middle of April from eggs from their
own breeding stock, hatched In their
own incubators of a 2500 turkey
egg capacity. Custom hatching was
done for New Maddens, turning
out 1500 poults, and 600 for Mr.
and Mrs. Antone Soneson.
The Potters started in the tur­
key business with 150 poults pur­
chased from Walter Botkin hatched
by turkey hens. These were late
June birds hatched after the Bot­
kins had their poults in the brooder
house. Each year they have increas­
ed their number of poults until now
they have the largest flock ever
raised on their farm. Last year their
birds marketed through the Eastern
Oregon Turkey Growers’ pool went
90 per cent prime.
Some of the rules by which the
Potters believe they raise prime
birds are: first, to select the very
best hens for breeding stock and se­
cure toms from some of the best
known turkey breeders In the coun­
try. Then select and sort all eggs
that go into the incubators. Proper
incubation, of course, plays a big
nart in getting the best poults. Then
from the time the birds are first fed
until the time they are marketed,
the hoppers are kept well filled with
feed at all times. Sanitation In the
brooder houses, in the feed hoppers
and drinking fountains, and on the
range plays one of the major parts
in raising prime birds.
All feeds are purchased from the
Farm Bureau Co-operative and the
Potters have their own formula for
mash feed which is mixed at the
local mill.
After the poults are old enough
they are allowed to range over the
3 2 acres and pick green teed from
the alfalfa and corn patch. This
range is not changed each year but
the surface of the ground is hard
and Is scraped and cleaned under the
nermanent roosts which are placed
12 feet apart. The other portions ot
the land are plowed under and
planted to corn and alfalfa.
An average of $ 2 per head is es­
timated as an average profit on
birds marketed each year by the
Potters. Most of these birds have
gone prime as a guarantee for the
top market price.
Six brooder houses. 10x12 feet,
house the poults in the spring and
these are heated by the new perfec­
tion coal oil stoves. A lantern is
hung under the hover to attract
the poults and this almost entirely
eliminated piling. Mr. Potter has
worked out numerous time savers in
the way of equipment, and arrange­
ment In the range yard. The farm is
fenced by a seven foot woven wire
to confine the birds to a given area
Growers who contemplate going
into the turkey business will profit
by making a visit to the Potter
farm and getting information on
breeding, hatching, brooding and
feeding.
The Potters take time to go deer
hunting every fall and Mrs. Potter
is a crack shot and always gets her
deer. They also own a motor boat
and occasionally take a trip. They
have a beautiful home and grounds
and are known as prosperous and
successful people.
Ship to Molly Ripley.
Molly Ripley, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. G W. Ripley, was presented
with the hand made sailing hark
ship by Soren Jensen this week as
the lucky winner. Mr. Jensen made
the ship last year and has had It on
display at the Herald office for
three months. He was ship carpen­
