MED FORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKU, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 103.1 PAOE THREE TAKING INTEREST Turkey growers of the entire north western and Pacific coast territory are maitlng arrangements to attend and compete in the annual northwestern turkey show at Oakland, Ore., sched uled for Dec. 8 to Dec. 4. This la the largest affair of Its kind In the world, and attracts growers and breeders from as far east aa the Mississippi river. Last year, birds were exhibited from North Dakota and other central states, as well as from practically all western states. Turkey growing as an industry has become increasingly Important In the Rogue River valley during the past few years, according to Robert Fowler, county agent. In 1924, turkeys raised here numbered 9.000, while the cur rent figure for this year Is 45,000, net ting approximately 9185.000 to grow ers here. Fowler also stated that this increase Is expected to continue, as this vicinity is a natural turkey coun try, possessing a good range, one of the most Important factors to be con sidered. Growers here have had ex ceptionally good luck, he said. "There's no limit to possibilities of this region as a turkey -producing unit," stated Mr, Fowler. Although the Roseburg district Is still the larg est producing area on the Pacific coast. Rogue River valley growers are pressing hard on the heels of those in the northern area. Most Important among recent im provements locally has been along the line of management and feeding. In direct contrast to the old Inefficient system of selling birds at the special seasons whether or not they were . ready, has been replaced by organiza tion which provides for the holding of turkeys until they are at full weight and growth, a fact which has raised the grade considerably, practically all birds from this section coming under the highest grade. Last year growers of the valley or ganized a co-operative association, which now handles over a third of turkeys raised here. The most impor tant phase of the local industry, ac cording 40 Mr. Fowler, Is the fact that the money received Is net to the growers, independent buyers coming to purchase and paying cash. Rogue River valley birds being of high stan dard, bringing accompanying high prices. Birds are shipped by both truck , and train, many of them to buyers In the east, Swift and Co. having pur chased two shipments. The total number of carloads for this year la estimated at 25 by Mr. Fowler. Mr. Fowler urgest all local growers to at tend the show at Oakland, stating that a great deal of valuable Informa tion may be gained concerning all phases of turkey growing and man agement.

His great old heart which carried him through 16 years In the field, j pointing out birds for his master. Jim Murray, yesterday morning found I the going too hard and he died, j gazing at his owner gladly, and I feebly wagging his gallant old tall. "Barnaby Rudge' was the last living direct descendant of that ; greatest of all pointers, "John Proc-; tor" out of Texas, who died In his fifth year, three times national champion. Not many In Medford knew the "Old Meat Catcher." as Rudge was affectionately called by Jim. Onty a select few had ever shot over his silked coat. Arid even fewer knew of his brave, loyal fight through the last three years, trving to lead Jim to the biggest and best birds, even though blindness had attacked htm. and his old heart had almost ceased to beat. But Jim knew, and yesterday when he told friends that the Old Meat Catcher had finally gone to dog dam's happy hunting grounds, wher ever that might be, there were tears in his eyes, and he was not ashamed. He was one of the best friends l ever had," Jim said simply. Possibly not the greatest, he was at least a great dog. As the bird seasons rolled around, Rudge was always anxious to be gone. He loved the fields, and he was a master at pointing any bird that might be hiding in the tall grass or in the brush. When Jim came to take him hunting he trembled all over and his big eyes gazed lovingly at his master and he wanted to be gone. Three years ago, with Rudge in his 13th year, Jim called for him one morning, when frost was on the grass and bite was In the air. The first day of the bird season, and the Old Meat Catcher knew it. He was at his master's side in a bound, and together they started to work down field. Rudge flushed a pheasant near an orchard, and Jim brought the bird down with a wing shot, the tip of the wing gone, but the bird still able to run. His rheumy old eyes lighted up. Rudge flashed after the bird as fast aa his les could carry him, but barely made the grade: Taking a few last, almost convulsive leaps, he seized the wounded bird In his Jaws, the two broad wings beating back over his eyes. Blinded, the dog could not see where his master stood, but taking the direction he thought was right, he tried to bring the bird to the boss." First one tree and then another halted his blind charge, and if f4 -7 rHi arsis JkJ fX rt. ' v ? jerked his gallant old head back on his shoulders, but he didn't stop until he had the bird in Jim's hands. Then he toppled over backward. completely unconscious. Picking him up lovingly, Jim car ried htm a mile and a half to the nearest water and after three hours managed to revive him. The old dog haa never been himself since, with wea k he art . almost b 1 i nd . ana completely deaf. But every year since he's known when the bird season haa rolled around, and the frost was again on the fields. And each year he has demanded that he be allowed to show his master where to find the' birds. Knowing that excitement might still the loyal heart, Jim could not turn him down, and each year has taken Old Rudge out for at least an hour In the field at the work he loved. His feeble old legs might falter, his old eyes might be tired, but he was still the great dog his master knew him to be, and he always fought on, happy to be in the field. Two nights ago he was caught out in the fog. and took pneumonia. Yesterday he was almost gone, and paralysis had nearly stopped his legs, although his tall could still thump against the bark of his bar rel kennel. Knowing that this was the end, his master summoned his courage, and decided to let the doctor put an end to his suffering. But Rudge was far back in his kennel, too weak to come out, and Jim did not want to drag him. ruffling the old man's dignity, and pride. So he made one last call on that tremendous heart, and donning his hunting coat and with his gun under his arm, he stood silently In front of the kennel. Slowly the old fellow crawled out, dragging his wasted body by his fore paws, his intelligent eyes happy and his brush wagging feebly. Jim picked him up and loaded him in the car for his last "hunt ing trip." On the way to the hu mane society he crawled happily ts hla haunches and stared out the front of the car, letting tha wind whip his still smooth orange and white coat, and the exciting smells on the morning breeze tickle his faltering nostlls. That's the wav the Old Meat Catcher went, making a last great effort to sniff out the breeze and find the best birds. "He was one of the best friends I ever had," Jim said simply.
