C. last season's turkey crop, largest In peacetime history, is being exceeded this year by 29 per cent, the United States Department of Agriculture has just reported.

Estimates gi-r the total of Individual turkeys on the way to market as 41.107.000. This exceeds the 1945 crop of 44.000,000, previous record. The Federal production "goal" was for a 10 per cent expansion. Death of nonlts was abnormally heavy across the Nation this Spring although 58 per cent more young turkeys were produced this year than last. Such losses, poultry people say, are due chiefly to management and bad weather.

But nany new producers Jumped Into the turkey market when; saw where meat prices were holding, and because poultry feed prices were down. They didn't have such good nek.

The cows like it end came up on their milk at once. The sil- cause it was figured this feed would be too dry, and would mould. But the silage was mixed successfully with cornstalks after the sweet corn had been harvested from a cannery. Squash was run first into the silo, and then sufficient corn to absorb the moisture and leave a solid place to stand Squash Is quite soft after it has been run through the ensilage cutter.

It is somewhat laxative when fed from the silo, but that is also true when fed fresh. In feeding, the start must be made without too much of a ration until the cows get used to it Squash does not scour the animals as does grass.
