TURKEY SITUATION
The 1939 crop year was none too
favorable for Texas turkey produc- ,
crs. The Thanksgiving market start-
ed off slow with prices mostly un-
satlsfaotory Even with the two
Thanksgiving holidays In many
states, the total shipments of tur-
keys from Texas was only 89 per-
m | **7° 6* 4*8*8 ‘tAhd vmj c .* |Z«-l -
ie j cent of the previous November ship-
ments Prices advanced slightly pre-
ceding the Christmas holidays, and
the December 1939 shipments were
57 percent greater than for the
same period tn 1938 However, with
the light November marketings, the
heavy December shipments were
Insufficient to reduce the inventory
of breeding stock, and the total
number of all turkeys on hand
January 1, 1940 was estimated by i
the Agricultural Marketing Service
at 960.000 birds, compared with (
801.000 birds on January 1. 1939
Turkey producers are apparently
planning to raise between 4 and 5
percent more turkeys In 1940 than
In 1939. according to February 1
returns to the Agricultural Market-
ing Service from 4,550 growers.
They Indicate the Intention to ob-
tain about 1 percent fewer poults
than last year from commercial
hatcheries but to Increase home
hatchings about 9 per cent. Grow-
ers reported 7 per cent more turkey
hens on hand than on February 1,
1939.
Total stock of turkeys In cold
storage on February 1. were 65,328.-
000 pounds this year compared with
28.2*4j000 pounds a year earlier and
38.236.000 pounds for the 5-year
(1938-39) February 1 average. Ap-
proximately 66 per cent of theee tur-
key* are reported to have weighed
16 pounds end over compared with
only 56 per cent on the same date
last year.
The purpose of the intention re-
port la to furnish growers with early
