Congressman Steve Sy mm* Explains Apple Valley Items Turkey APPLE VALLEY - The Su Grades It is that time of the year when turkey so often be comes king of the dinner table at holiday gatherings. And. as plans are made for dinner menus, consumers are beginning to check with the Oregon Department of Agri culture's consumer office on grade labeling meanings and have questions about self-ba sting turkeys. Some assume that the grading relates to product wholesomeness, but Jane Wyatt, the department's consumer officer, says it has nothing to do with whole someness. Grade A. the top grade, means that the turkey is of highest quality with normal physical conformation; has a well developed and fleshed breast; has very few pin feathers; has no skin tears on the breast and legs; and is free from bruises and dis coloration on the breast and legs. A grade B bird is permitted to have a slightly crooked breast if it does not interfere with the normal distribution of flesh and may have slightly scattered pinfeathers Abnormal physical con formation. such as a crooked breast, is permitted in a C grade turkey and it may be poorly fleshed. A grade C turkey also does not have to have a fat covering over all or part of the carcass; may have numerous pinfeathers over the entire carcass; have torn skin with skin missing in some areas; have numerous large discolored areas; and the wings removed. Self-basting turkeys. Mrs. Wyatt says, is the industry's answer to the complaint that turkey meat is dry. sannah Circle met Thursday in the home of Mrs. Waldo Smalley.
