DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 22 (AP).
—A prolifie crop of turkeys, like-
y to be the largest on record,
promised today to provide the na-
tion's holiday tables with ample
meat at a moderate price.
The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. in a survey of production,
announced that a big crop of tur-
keys is being raised this year,
after two or three years of de-
creased production.
From an estimated total to
about 19.000.000 birds in 1932 and
1933. production fell to about 15,-
000.000 in 1935, due mainly to the
feed shortage. Production this
year, the department said, will be
somewhat larger than in 1932 and
1933, making it the largest crop
on record.
Texas turkeys will be 35 per-
cent more numerous than a year
ago.
"With ample supplies of turkeys
at moderate prices and with mh-
creased consumer buying power,
the consumption of turkeys will no
doubt be heavy this season,” the
department said
- “In view of the expected later
/shortage of pork and also because
of the increasing all year around
demand for turkey, it is probably
that unusually large stocks of
-turkeys will be placed in storage.
Turkey prices are low compared
with their usual relation to other
meat prices.”
The department said practically
every part of the United States'
showed increased production of
turkeys.
The North and South Central
areas, in which Texas and Okla-
homa are included, showed the
greatest increase this year, as
was natural following the big de-
creases there last year.”
“The present increase shown in
those areas amount to about 35

I just now settling down to a stable

North Atlantie Area
“The North Atlantic area re-
ports an increase i of about five

per cent for large flocks. The Far
Western states show a .slight de-
crease in production by small
Hocks but large flocks which are
the more, important factor in
