y State Seeks Big Turkey For Contest Governor Terry Stnford talked turkey today. He asked Tar Heel farmers to help him find the fattest and fanciest turkey In North Carolina. The heavyweight champion turkey will strut North Carolina's colors In the National Turkey Show InLouls- ville, Kentucky January 6-10. Governor Sanford Issued the invitation to Tar Heel turkey growers after accepting a chall enge from former Governor Bert Combs of Kentucky to enter a Tar Heel turkey in the national competition. Noting that North Carolina's farmers have raised 2,737.000 turkeys dlls year. Governor Sanford said: "We know that Tar Heel turkeys are the tastiest in the nation. "We also know that they gobble as fine a tune as turkeys anywhere. "And we suspect that they will weigh in with the best in the country." The Governor pointed out that North Carolina ranks 12th In the nation in total turkey pro duction. State and federal ag ricultural records show the 1963 turkey production is up about 17.per cent. . Governor Sanford said the in crease in turkey production "means that more than 16,000 tons of turkey came off our farms this year. This is typical of the advances being made by North Carolina's food pro cessing industry.'I He said the rules for the turkey contest are simple: The turkey may be of any breed, sex or age. The one restriction in con sidering weight, the Governor noted, is that contest officials will not countenance feeding the turkeys buckshot. The Governor asked turkey growers to write the vital statistics of their nominations to Wade Lucas, public infor mation officer, State Depart ment of Conservation and Deve lopment, Raleigh. The written nominations should include: Weight, breed, sex and age of turkey. Arrangements will be made to send the champion to Louis ville. RECORD PLAYERS R. C. A. Record Players in _many styles.

"The need for outdoor re creation of all types is in creasing, especially among city dwellers." points out Hugh Fields, extension wildlife specialist at North Carolina State. Fields adds. "The farmer can fill this need and make a profit by providing fishing, hunting, picnicking and camping facilities. "I would say the possibilities for out farmers in recreational crops' is unlimited," In an extension publication he has prepared as a guide for farmers interested in develop ing recreational opportunities. Fields points out that the number of licensed hunters in North Carolina increased by about lOQ.OOO from 1949 to 1960. The money spent on hunting and fishing in the state is estimated to have increased from $46.3 million in 1949 to $104 million in 1960. "Money-making opportuni ties vary throughout the state," Fields comments. "If you live in an area noted for its hunting and fishing, you already have your drawing card. If you live near cities or other population centers, hunters and fishermeh are all around you. "It will be up to you to provide adequate hunting and fishing in order to attract your customers.” There Isn't a lot of expense involved in "harvesting” the tanner’s crop of farm game. "You don't have to stock quail, rabbits, squirrels or doves," says Fields. "These and odier small game reproduce more young than can survive the next year, ror example, 8U out of every 100 quail here in the summer will die brfore the next spring, whether or not they are hunted," Farm game requires little care. "There are enough farm game animals to restock them selves if their habitat require ments are adequate," according to Fields. "All tfiese animals need are certain amounts and kinds of food, cover and other necessities." How does a farmer realize an Income from these wildlife resources? "He does it by selling leases or dally permits to hunt," Fields answers. "He can sell as an individual land- owner or through cooperative action with other landowners." The success of farm hunting and fishing hinges on the sports man’ success. If the game and fish are actively managed, the farmer has more to offer. "By building a reputation for pro ducing goods, you have a ready market for your product." ■flie publicatIon"hunting and Fishlng---Your Cash Crop?” has been prepared for use by North Carolina farmers who are Interested in developing their recreational resources. It may be obtained without cost by writing the Department of Agricultural Information, North Carolina State, College Station, Raleigh, N. C., and asking for Circular 445, or pick up at county agricultural extension office. LCGALS as iP ewiervre ti fmi 7, ing S. C JOTICE ar HOKE H. S.
