Latest information that may
be of interest to local turkey
rrisers is that this years crop
will be the largest in years
with a largo percentage ready
for the early trade.
Prices of other farm commodities
apparently have reached their
top for the present v:ith butter
tcking £ drop and the large eggs
dropping three cents. These
prices have not boon reflected
here yet. Our information last
week was the t the v/orld crop
would be considerably smaller
than usual on potatoes.
Evidently the frost and drought
damage v/a3 not as severe as ■ex
pected and the Department of
Agriculture have revised tho5r
estimate so the crop proapocts
look more normal.
We are 3nforned that the Fair
banks farmers lost considerable
potatoes due to heavy frost
which should five us an addit
ional outlet. The cabbage pool
has been closed and the checks
arc ready for the bcllnnce.
This and the potatoe pool are
explained in another column by
the field man.
