Green has addressed the following letter to the housewives of Camden, urging them to buy home-raised turkeys, as they are said to be plentiful this season: "The' farm people of Kershaw county this year have produced a large quantity of extra-fine quality turkeys. Local consumption of turkeys is comparatively small because so many of our people have thought of eating turkeys us an occasion only for Thanksgiving and Christmas, However, since the price of turkeys have come down so low and aro so near the price of other ,n,teats it is practically as economical now .to enjoy this delicious bird. It has been ,only a short while since turkeys were selling for 35 cents to 40 cents per pound. * "Those roaponsiblo for preparing the meals will not only find that a greater use of turkeys in the everyday menu will be highly enjoyable, healthful and economical, but will also serve a vory patriotic cause in the way of patronizing the home industry and in this connection it would seem desirable that our people in buying turkeys be particular to specify that they desire Kershaw co'Unty grown birds. Locally grown turkeys are of just as good quality as the best premium turkeys that can be shipped in. "The cost of producing turkeys is rather high and in many cases wherq farmers Aro forped to sell because they aro in absolute need of a few dollars they very often sacrifice their birds for a price below what they actually cost. For this reason it is requested that the people of Camden who buy these turkeys enter into the spirit of cooperating with our farmers in order that they may have some margin of profit. "It is expected that the marketing conditions in the centers of population in the east will soon be materially improved at which time it is Very probable car shipments of turkeys will be made from Kershaw county to New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, etc. In such case the price of turkeys locally will naturally go up materially. Anyone desiring to buy one or more turkeys may get in touch with turkey owners through the county agent s office. Personal Mention Mrs. iC. G.
