Quality Turkeys Clover, Dec. 20?The Clover- Cooperative Association Is lighting the way In producing and properly handling quality turkeys, says E. H. Talbert Extension marketing specialist, who states that many farmers around Clover are now rnlslng turkeys as a major cash income and are, for the niOHt part, meeting with great success. Turkey raising, Mr. Talhert points out, is a highly specialized job and requires a great deal of knowledge, skill, and time. Many of these Clover farmers are increasing their equipment and acreage of grain in order to increase their turkey production economically. "Since the commercial turkey business has become so highly competitive. it is necessary to properly process turkeys in order to sell largo quantities to the best advantage, says Mr. Talhert. "The Clover Cooperative Association is doing a commendable Job of producing, processing, and merchandizing. The Clover plant, one of the best equipped small plants in the United States, has a capacity of 300 turkeys per day. This capacity will likely bo increased for next season's operations. It is one of two plants in the United States that are doing complete Kosher processing It is also the first and only plant south of Virginia and east of the Mississippi by an agreement between the ClemFederal inspection was made possible by an agreement betweent the Clemson College Extension Service and the USDA Division of Dairy and Poultry Products." I'. H. Gooding, extension poultry specialist, pnd Mr. Talhert recently spent several days on the wholesale market in Washington. I). C. where they examined many dressed turkeys that were shipped from a number of competing states. They were gratified to find that dressed turkeys from Clover wore as good as the best seen on the Washington market from any other state. This demonstrates conclusively that South Carolina can com-J pete with other sections of the country In producing, processing, and selling quality turkeys.

Monday and Tuesday Call To Arms i| i ? 1 "" " A Smiley Burnette, F?y McKenzie and Gene Autry in a scene from the new Republic Production, "Sierra Sue." pENE AUTRY, HOLLYWOOD'S HE8T GOOD.WILL AMBA88AODR When the subject of "good will" In the motion picture industry arises, Gene Autry's name is the {irst to be mentioned. The Republic cowboy is accredited with being Hollywood's best good will ambassador, averaging 50,000 miles a year in meeting the people. He doesn't smoke or drink on screen or off, and is always available for hospitals, orphanages, benefits and charity appearances. On the screen he never kills a man in cold blood, and he never hits anyone smaller than himself. In short, Gene's screen character is a perfect influence for the youth of the country whose idol ho is. dene was born on a ranch near Tioga, 'Texas, the son of a cattle buy- " er. His family moved to Ravla, Oklahoma when Gene was just a little tyke and he grew up there, learning to ride when he could scarcely walk, and learning to sing when he could scarcely talk! His first venture in the show busness came when he was a youngster in his teens. A traveling medicine show went through Ravia, and Gene Joined up as a crooner. With his medicine show earnings he acquired a second-hand guitar and taught himself to play. At the age of eighteen he left home to take a job at Saluda, Oklahoma in the railroad station, whero ha even- I tually became a telegraph operator. Encouraged by the late Will Rogers | who happened in one night to send a telegram while Gene was singing, he went to New York in 1929. And al-, though his singing was praised, he ' was advised to return home and get some local radio experience before attempting to crack the Big Time. Accordingly, Gene returned to Oklahoma and found a Job with station l( KVOO in Tulsa. Overnight he became a territorial sensation as "Oklahoma's Singing Cowboy." Recording companies clamored to sign him up I and he was deluged with offers from j 1 larger stations. He was finally signed by WLS in Chicago and was head liner on the Barn Dance program. It was here , that he was discovered by Republic I executives who brought hijn and his pal Smiley Burnette to Hollywood for i small roles in a serial. 1 Autry is five feet eleven inches tall, < and weighs 170 pounds. He has san- 1 dy-brown hair and blue eyes. Hisli birthday is September 29th. He always plays "himself" on the jcreen, and although he often falls In ove in the screen, he is never roped ind hog-tied by any of his heroines; le is always footloose and fancy 'ree at the end of the film.
