Show Market Your Turkeys j As Soon as They Are ' 'Finished,' Army Asks The quartermaster corps is not getting the necessary amount of turkeys tur-keys for the holiday dinners of the armed forces and it is asking producers pro-ducers to send their birds to market as soon as they have the necessary "finish." rather than hold for the Thanksgiving season. The total number of turkeys in the United States is relatively large this year and unless they are shipped into the markets throughout the season, in a steady stream, prices may break suddenly. Facilities for dressing and storing the turkeys may not be able to take care of the situation if the large crop of turkeys tur-keys is held too long and suddenly rushed to the market. The price ceiling ceil-ing for turkeys, live weight went down a half cent a pound on October Octo-ber 1, and will drop an additional half cent on November 1. |
