iPresent Outlook Is
For Fewer Turkeys
, i County Agent Over
man Gives Advice
i To Growers
It seems rather certain now that
there will be less turkeys produced
this year. All things being normal,
this should bring higher prices to
the producers, says County Agent
0. W. Overman. With this expect
ed price increase, some may he in
clined to neglect range. In order
to make tip. most profit from this
year's cr i> of turkeys, good range
will help no it.
“Re a leader.' 1 says. Mr. Over
man. “Show your, neighbors how
ivou can' produce cheaper, turkeys
by the use of grazing. There is
still: time to seed late ratiges for
those late turkeys. Soybeans, Su
dan grass, starr millet, and late |
rape are some good .crops (hat can I
be seeded how, or .later, as well as
Some late plantings of mile. Pro
vide one acre for each IDO turkeys,
rind make yourself some extra,pro
fit. Recent experiments show that ,
good range is worth two routs per,
pound of live weight. Seine of you',
may have some green teed avail
able and do not want to range your
turkeys over it. You might try
Cutting this green feed with all all
1 crop harvester, and hauling it to
til,, turkeys each day: Caution is
the . watchword when doing this.
Put grit before the turkeys a day
or two before you begin chopping
this green feed. Do not. over-feed
this chopped feed. (live the tur
keys what they will eat in one or
two hours, and wait until tip. nex*
day tp give more.
"Late poults require a somewhat
different set of brooding conditions
than, early turkeys. Less heat is
required for a shorter period of
time, more ttir is needed to keep,
them cool, arid roosts call be used
earlier than for early turkeys.
Roosts rail be used as early as two
weeks of age for late turkeys, as
I.well: as sunporehes. Larger quan
’tities' of water are consumed in hot
I weather, making it necessary to in
: crease the number of waterers in
the. house, Four watei'ers. 4 feet
'in length, or their equivalent
1 should be provided for each 1,200
'turkeys. - If you have’ !ess:t ban this,
i you .are. not getting your best feed
j conversion: and growth fate. Be
I progressive I Crow the best tur-
IkeVs in your community arid receive
(the higii dollar.
I “Turkey growers sriotild. try 1
{growing som,-. grain sorghum or ’
Milo for range feeding. If plant,
jing 'hasn’t 'already, been made, plant
j now Tor-, fall range. Fertilize; the
j land just as for cm. I'lant in
{rows 2'i to 4 feet ill width. When
{plants are 12 im-hes high, side
dress with 60 or more pounds of
(nitrogen per acre, that is three Imn.

of soda, three hundred pounds of
