TURKEY AND POULTRY SALE
The turkey and poultry sale last
Wednesday was the biggest ever held
in Franklin. One car could not hold
all the turkeys , and poultry brought

be held for another sale on December
9th or near that date)
Since the farmers did not notify
Mr. Arrendale of the number of tur
keys they would have for sale, the
county agent provided only one car
therefore Mr. Arrendale cannot be
blamed for the inconveniences caused
to some. '
The car left Thursday morning car
rying 7792 pounds of turkeys, 4151
pounds of hens, 2486' pounds of fryers
and some roosters, ducks arid guineas
Total yeight was 14,881 pounds and
amount received at Franklin $3155.84
A late telegram from the buyer asked
that the car be crowded. Hence more
turkeysj and poultry were loaded at
Otto and Dillard Thursday morning.
