PORTLAND, Ore., Nor. 8. (API
Th shadow of the e lies on the
necks of between two end three mil
lion Pacific coast turkeys who cur
rently are gorging themaelvee on
the death diet.
Tome and hen by the gobbling
hundreds of thousands have been
rounded up off the range, penned,
and then put on heavy rations that
hoist their poundage to market re
qulrementa for the Thanksgiving
tables of the nation.
Unole Sam's sons and daughters
eat about 17 million turks a year.
About 54 per cent of this consump
tion occurs on and after the day of
thanks, another 80 per cent at
Christmas. So right now last sum
mer's sleek young poult Is eating
himself to his doom In fattening
pens of the coast. The western tier
of states supplies more than one
eighth of the succulent brown
and white meat on which the aver
age U. 8. citizen eats himself mo
discomfort on November 34 and De
cember 26.
Oregon Dig Producer
Oregon, Idaho and California have
long been three of the nation's chief
turkey-raising states, but Washing
ton Is coming up. In Oregon about
1,100,000 turks go to markot a year,
pretty close to a million outside tile
state. The D. S. department of agri
culture figures Indicate California
raises about a third more than Ore
gon. It Is estimated that Washington
Is ncnrlng the half-million bracket.
The nine top states in turkey pro
duction are Texas, North Dakota,
Minnesota, California, Oklahoma, Ore
gon. Colorado, Virginia and Idaho.
Not only are the western states
heavy producers. They also raise the
best. Oregon. California, Washington
and Idaho raisers get from 1 to 2
cents morea pound on eastern mar
kets than ralsera of other regions.
The secret is the ranges on which
they feed, plus the skill of western
growers )n pen fattening.
Vne ftlg Rnners
In Oregon, a representative west
em state, chick broods are put on
the range at about two months and
stay there until eight or 10 weeks
before mnrketlng, when they are hus
tled Into pens for rattening. Some
turkey ranges are so extensive thst
many a western turkey raiser rounds
up his flocks with cowboys on
horses.
The expertness of western raisers
la "finishing" shows In a vsrlety
of ways. They bring them to almost
sny desired weight, to a firm fat
ness, a succulent flavor. Pish meal
and codllver oil onoe used continu
ously up to killing. Is now used
sparingly to avoid the oily flavor.
Fattening rations Include rich mashes
with plenty of corn. The principal
species of the west Is the bronse,
the mottled-grey bird. A few raisers
handle the white Holland.

Nobody Bothers to Send

WASHINGTON, Not. 8. (AP) In America1! biennial campaign for

Democratic Chairman James A.

nary a note about when the start

Republican Chairman John D. M.
Hamilton also rushes out the bou

begins early In January In Wash

he comes by auto.
Nobody sends htm traveling money
If he comes by train, boat or plane.
(Later, however, he can collect 30

No official meets him. -
Nobody shows him to his new of

It does look as If somebody ought

"Dear sir, or Madam: Kindly re

HOT DEBATE OVER
FARM ACT DUE AT
E CONCLAVE
National Master Says
Farmers Everywhere Dis
satisfied With Law
Blow at Reds Coming
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 8 (AP)
Sharp and lengthy debate on the fed
eral farm act and Its attempt to con
trol crop production Is expected to
develop at the 72nd annual session
of the National Grange, to be held
here Nov. 10 to 24.
L. J, Taber. master of the grange,
which embrace approximately 800.
000 farmers In Its membership, -asserted
today "It la apparent that
farmers everywhere are dissatisfied
with the workings of the law."
"Some state granges." he added,
"are advocating outright repeal of
the present farm act and other states
will want It continued In practically
it present form."
Action Vnpredlcted
Operation of the crop control act
la a subject close to the most Import
ant problem which will be before the
grange'a session; declining farm
prices and what to do about It.
Taber, declining to predict what
action would be taken by his organ
ization, said the national grange pro
gram would be built on resolutions
adopted by the state granges.
"Aside from the farm question
and all Its phases from production
control to the reciprocal treaties," the
national master said, "other ques
tions will have prominent piny. Co
operative marketing, improved rural
credit, a sound land poljny and rural
electrification are certain to loom
large In some of the debate and reso
lutions." Many questions apart from the
farm Issue will be considered. They
Include citizenship, educational facil
ities, and youth activities.
To lilt at Conununlm
Taber declared It was a "foregone
conclusion" that the grange would
"strike a smashing blow at commun
ism and every kindred alien Influ
ence." "The reasons for this are plain," he
explained. "The grange Is the first
organization In the history of Amer
ica to ban communism from its
ranks. This action took place bock in
1874. The farmer la a home owner
and a great believer in American In
stitutions. Whenever he thinks they
are threatened he certainly gets In
a fighting mood."
The questions of "peace and free
dom from foreign entanglements" al
so will have a prominent place on the
program. Taber said.
He predicted the session would be
the largest ever held west of the Mis
sissippi river with an attendance of
5.000 to 8.000 persons.
Many To Take Degrees
One of the big events will be giv
ing of the seventh or highest degree
of the order. Friday. November 18. to
more than 3.000 persons In the Port
land auditorium. The 50th anni
versary of the founding of the Juv
enile grange also will be celebrated
In the sessions.
Predicting that "reasonable har
mony" would prevail, Taber said one
reaaon why "bitterness does not de
velop in the grange over difference
of opinion la that the wives of dele
gates have equal voice and vote."
Taber-Is completing hi 15th con
tinuous year as head of the- grange,
a longer period than ever served by
any other farm leader.
