Thanksgiving Turkey Spotlighted The Thanksgiving turkey takes over in the nation’s food stores along with all the things, that go with it. And that turkey will cost you less than last year’s did. The con sensus of food store men is that prices will be from eight to 10 cents a pound below year ago levels. You’ll find ample supplies of the birds in any weight you de sire. The U. S. Department of Agriculture estimates this year’s crop of turkeys at 61 million, a good gain over 1953. Food store men expect house wives to order their turkeys over the weekend. Because most home refrigerators are crowded, many people 4von’t pick up their birds until Tuesday or Wednesday. The U. S. Department of Agri culture has worked through the list of items that go with the .holi day bird. Here are their findings: Radishes are plentiful, green onions are in moderate supply and a good buy, topped carrots are fairly priced. Pascal celery is in good supply but there’s not too much of the Golden Heart type around.
