Turkey Prospects This
Year Considered Good
Spurred on by the highest prices
for many years and by the urge to
add materially to the national meat
supplies in 1943. turkey growers are
planning to go "all out" for the war
program and for U. S. Department
of Agriculture's goal of an increase
of 15 per cent over the 1942 produc
tion. B H. Bennett, of the Bureau
of Agriculture Economics comment
ed recently. "This," he said, "is in
dicated by the department’s survey
of turkey growers’ production inten
tions, which reveal that growers are
planning to start at least 12 per cent
more poults this year than last. If
these intentions materialize, the 1943
crop will be in the neighborhood of
37 million turkeys--by far the great
est ever produced."
