many more turkeys than usual.
Low prices should result in a good
off-season consumption. Hotels and
restaurants in particular will be en­
couraged to use turkey extensively.
Likewise the family demand should
be above the average. As a result,
the heavy surplus of storage tur­
keys could be reduced more rapidly
than usual, and next season's crop
should find a receptive market.
Turkey quality and pack, improv­
ing from year to year, were above
average this season. The Mountain
and Pacific Coast states in particu­
lar are coming to the fore with their
fine packs, and the Southwest has
also improved. At Thanksgiving
time the Midwestern and Eastern
turkeys were not quite so good as
usual, but at Christmas they were
excellent.
With the upturn in buying power
this season there was a trend toward
slightly larger birds. For several
years small turkeys were in so much
greater demand that the large sizes
could be sold only at a sacrifice of
several cents a pound. This season
the demand was more evenly distri­
buted. Birds weighing up to 216
pounds were In demand, and the 14
to 16 pound sizes, which sold slowly
In previous years, came into their
own again.

To Beautify Fair
NEW YORK, (Special).—None of the
scientific discoveries or developments
being hurried from the laboratcries to
make the New York World's Fair unusual
and thrilling will produce more startling
results than the latest technique in il­
lumination.
This statement was Issued by Grover
Whalen. President of the Fair Corpora­
tion, at the inauguration of experiments
by the Fair’s staff of engineers and il­
lumination experts r their consultants.
These men are already at work with
quarter-inch scale models of the Fair,
types of lighting equipment never be­
fore used in comprehensive manner, and
utterly new principles never developed
practically They are dealing with ev­
erything from fluorescent dies and col­
ored bubbles to concentrating lamps and
floodlight systems.
The plan is not to create spectacular
effects in the usual sense of the term,
says Mr Whalen, but rather to create de­
signs in light that will make their appeal
through their magnitude and their sheer
beauty
