Currie and Neville C. Curtis (NOTE: This is the sixth in a series of comments by well- known authorities, written expressly for the Weekly Press of British Columbia) Turkey raising is one of the most recently commercialized branches of the poultry industry, for until a few years ago, tur- keys were raised in very small flocks more or less for pin mon- ey for the farmer’s wife. In British Columbia today there is a definite trend toward raising turkeys for commercial purposes which has almost reached the scale of mass production, similar to the past development of the chicken industry from barnyard flocks to the large commercial poultry farms. What does it take turkey farm? Capital must be available. For unlike the chicken industry where laying pullets may bring in a weekly egg cheque right from the start, the poultry producer must commence by not only pay- ing for his poults but for their feed for six or seven months un- til they are of marketable age. Turkeys are a one season crop. Happy then is the new turkey farmer who has Victory Bonds which may be used as collateral for his capital loans. The far- sightedness of buying Victory Bonds in each campaign — per- haps in the installment plan — for the financing of such busi- nesses as turkey raising, with the to start a attendant low interest-costs, seems not only economically sound but plain good business sense. What room is there in the tur- key raising industry for new- comers? Statistics supplied by G. R. Wilson, Senior Poultry for B.C., Di e- partment of . Agriculture, tell there were 55,500 turkeys in this province in 1944, an increase of 12,300 since 1939. It is expected that quite an ex) i i _Products oy { GARDEN TIPS W from W T.

Chilliwack )| this year is 13 per cent over 1944. in the turkey indus- try will be noticed as a result of the new method of using houses with porches attached, in- stead of rearing the birds in the open. eas FARMIN( room for such expansion is seen in the fact that in 1944 no less than 2,404,000 pounds of turkey were imported into B.C. from Alberta for our trade here. It is also interesting to learn that it takes approximately five and a half pounds of feed to produce one pound of turkey, live weight, when range-reared; or approximately six pounds to obtain the same result when rais- ed in houses. The two types of commercial turkey farms are by rearing on range or by confining the birds to houses with sun_ porches. Right here might be a good time to strongly emphasize that in both cases it is essential that strong, healthy, government-ap- proved, pulloram tested poults be obtained. Rearing conditions must be scrupulously clean and, most of all, turkeys should not be raised in conjunction with chickens. The young poults are started in brooder houses in lots of not more than 150 or 200. Strict: sani- tary practices are of the utmost importance. It is taken for grant- ed that the brooders be of the best and of reliable make. After eight or ten weeks in the brooder they can either be re- moved to a good clean range on which no turkeys have been rear- ed for at least two years, or are placed in houses having sun por- ches with wire or wooden slat constructed floors. Eight square feet of floor space must be al- lowed for each bird. It is not intended in this article to give feeding instruc- tions. There are many good pub- lications available for this. It might not be out of place, how- ever, to mention that it is con- sidered advisable for the new turkey farmer to feed good com- mercially mixed mash supplied by reputable feed firms. Christmas comes once a year and at one time was practically the only season for turkey din- ners. But with the assistance of present day cold storage facilities this appetizing and deliciously .at- tractive dish is available at any time in the year. Turkey raising is a good bus- iness with a reasonable expec- tancy for a fair return on in- vestment with thoughtful plan- ning, attentive work and a slice of lady luck. : That there is CANADIAN APPLE CROP DOWN 57% THIS YEAR The 1945 Ganadian apple crop is estimated at 7,626,000 bushels or 43. per cent of the 1944 crop, vhich was 17,829,000 bushels. This year’s crop in Quebec is placed at 80,000 bushels, only 9 per cent of the 1944 yield. Ont- ario with 642,000 bushels is 25 per cent of last year’s output. Nova Scotia with 975,000 bushels is only 19 per cent of last year’s production. Brilish Columbia’s crop of 5,- 810,000 bushels is 66 per cent of the 1944 crop. Nova Scotia’s 1945 crop of pears placed at 38,000 bushels is 27 per cent more than in 1944. The Ontario peach crop at 829,000 bushels is down 29 per cent in comparison with last year. _Apri- cots in British Columbia will re- turn this year 151,000 bushels, three per cent above last year. A 12 per cent increase is re- corded in tthe Canadian grape crop of the total yield of 68,460,- 000 pounds. Ontario will account for 64,830,000 bushels and Brit- ish Columbia 3,630,000 pounds. The increase of grapes in Ontario In British Columbia the crop is up 3 per cent this year over 1944. CANADIAN WOOL CLIP INCREASES According to the first reports, the 1945 domestic clips of Wes- tern Canada show a marked im- provement over 1944 in the pre- paration of individual fleeces, states the Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Can- ada. The Bright grades come mostly from British Columbia and Manitoba where more fav- ourable conditions of moisture played a major role. Saskatche- wan and Alberta domestic wools appear to run more to the semi- Bright grades because of greater earth content and consequent lower yield, However, after scouring the actual fibre is com- parable with the Bright fibre. Eastern domestic wools will probably grade better than in 1944, With a somewhat lighter shrinkage, says the Review. The total weight of fleéce Wool graded in registered wool waré- houses in 1944 amounts to 10,553,- 243 Ibs., an increase of 167,641 Ibs. over 1943.

Although the number of ap- plicants registering for jobs is still far from sufficient to satisfy the number of unfilled vacancies, the supply is increasing + rapidly due to releases from war plants and the armed services; as a re- sult, some industries long under- staffed may expect early relief. By September 7, 1945, the number of jobs to be filled throughout Canada rose to more than 132,000, an increase of 8,- 000 during the previous two weeks; more than half this rise was due to the seasonal increase in the need for loggers. At the same time, the number of appli- cants rose substantially reaching the 73,000 mark; this was nearly 20,000 more than tthe number registered a fortnight ago. The agricultural labor situation is being met satisfactorily in most parts of Canada but the shortage of building workers continues to be one of Canada’s most serious labor problems. 15 YEARS AGO was held to honor Miss E.
