"But," adds Miss depression in the turkey market, year and undoubtedly will do so By C. R. SUMNER What happens to a white turkey grower when his market collapses because of over-production? J. H. McNeely, 61 Church answered that question by turning to the growing of fancy tomatoes.

This summer he has put out some 900 plants and Is selling his entire output to two customers who take all he can grow. McNeely, a retired coal man who had no taste for the soft life, acquired a piece of river bank property Just below Smith's Bridge and extending down under the Smoky Park Highway Bridge. On this he erected a small building and then another and another and in these he set up turkey growing business under a contract with a concern which took the turkeys after they had reached a certain age. This was the new approach to the turkey business because they were marketed before they were fully grown. This went on profitably for several years until last year such a surplus had been rolled up that prices collapsed.

McNeely saved his project by selling the birds at retail for Thanksgiving and Christmas instead of turning them on the wholesale market. It was a piece of maneuvering that got him out of a bad hole when a lot of turkey growers were losing. I This year, with the same shrewd-!
