TURKEY MARKET
PROSPECTS APPEAR
BETTER FOR 1937
Market prospects for the new crop
of turkeys about to be raised appear
more favorable than a year ago.
and with potatoes less favorable, ac­
cording to a report on the agricul­
tural situation and outlook just re­
leased by the OSC agricultural ex­
tension service.
It is expected that turkey growers
will reduce production, at least
somewhat, compared with 1936 when
the business was boomed too much
resulting in glutted marekt and rel­
atively low prices for turkeys. Feed
costs are expected to be lower dur­
ing the principal fattening period
of 1937 crop turkeys than during the
1936 crop season.
Potato growers, on the other hand
apparently intend to increase the
acreage of potatoes in response to
the very high prices received for the
1936 crop. On the basis of the avail­
able information, it seems probable
that the acreage will be sufficient
to produce about an average amount
of potatoes, assuming that growing
conditions are normal and yields
about average.
With respect to chickens, the re­
port shows that there is some ten­
dency for egg producers to order
fewer chicks for raising pullets. Any­
way the government report on com­
mercial hatchings and bookings sug­
gests a reduction in pullets raised of
perhaps 6 or 8 per cent, depending
somewhat on the course of egg prices
during the next few weeks.
Owing to unfavorable soil and
weather conditions last fall, much
land in Oregon was not planted to
fall crops as usual. An unusual
amount of damage was also done to
fall seeded crops by the cold weath­
er during the winter. Consequently,
farmers in Oregon are confronted
with more farm work and spring
seeding than usual, and they have
had difficulty in getting started,
owing to wet soil.
