Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Dilling don't need as much protein, Harry says. Day-old poults are fed "pre- starter" for a month before they are switched to "straight star- ter" (20 percent protein enriched), After a month of "straight starter" they are fed "grower" (24 percent protein) and then "finisher" (17 percent protein) towards the end of their 18-20 week life-span. Because hens require less time to mature, and are fed less ex- pensive, lower protein food, they are separated from the Toms, Harry says. Tom turkeys average 20-25 pounds at maturity while hens vary between 14-16 pounds, Harry explains. Harry says•turkey is sold by the pound to the packing companies. This year Harry gets almost 47 cents for every pound of Tom he sells, Hens fetch about 45 cents per pound, Harry believes turkey farming is a lucrative business, "But it has its drawbacks," he adds. "Turkeys are a little harder to raise than chickens," So if your Christmas Tom is especially tender this holiday season, you might pause for a moment to remember he was a "delicate" bird, visited their mother Mrs, Dilling.

The - .4--rage person, he says, has no idea of what he has ru put up with tram, "mainly teenagers", a great many, (according ;a him) who would steal anything from a news!„ ape, 'o a grand piano, if he had one! They usually enter his s'ore in large numbers making it virtually im- possible for him to watch them all. His losses due to pilfering are staggering for a small store, he says, and when he contacts the parent of a child that he has actually caught in the act, he usually winds up making an enemy of them also, some who were regular and good customers, He is quick to point out, however, that he is referring to a very small minority of kids, but even with the honest ones he has his troubles too, as a lot of them are quite thoughtless when it comes to thumbing through books and magazines or needlessly handling merchandise that they have no intention of buying. People don't take all this into consideration when they have to pay a penny or two more from the small merchant such as him, and at this time of the year, he claims that he could very nearly use the services of a full time store detec- tive!

It all started away back on March 29th when he mailed a $15.00 money order to the MULL SINGING CONVENTION in Knoxville, Tennessee, expecting to receive in return 3 record albums. We published his problem in "IMPACT" of June 19th and got to work on his behalf. After much phoning and letter writing we were pleased to hear that the Tennessee Better Business Bureau had been made aware of our reader's complaint and that they were currently looking into it. Their letter to us dated August 14th, informed us that, they would be in touch with us again just as soon as they had any further information. Well! . . . postal strike or not, we still haven't heard anything further, so once again "IMPACT" has sent a letter off to the Knoxville &IL& We have to admit that this has been a most frustrating case, but we intend to pursue it until we get to the bottom of this ridiculous and unwarranted delay, and reign of silence from this "Religious Firm," Stay with us, dear reader, we have no intention on givIna ...p on you, or your problem and we thank you for your - rien> ,- and faith in "IMPACT."

Harry doesn't think so, they talk turkey to him all the time. Harry operates a farm on the Western outskirts of Dashwood, This year Harry will market 40,000 white-feathered gobblers who will most likely end-up golden brown on a Christmas dining table. "It may sound funny, but turkeys are intelligent, nervous birds," Harry says. "Even day- old poults will follow your voice and gather around you as if they wanted to hear what you say." Harry sells most of his turkeys live to Canada Packers. About 3,500 however, are sold to Toronto buyers, specially prepared and shipped as "New York-dressed" broilers. A "New-York" dress0 turicaY has been dispatched and plucked but still has its innards intact, and may have earned its name from China town delicatessenslin New York, famous for plucked fowl hanging in storefront win- dows. Harry got into turkey farming in 1948, when he took over the 300 acre farm he grew up on from his dad. Harry read somewhere that turkeys produce good fertilizer, so he set up an operation to raise turkeys and cattle and feed the two from crops of corn made possible by the gobbler's special "talent". It takes Harry 20 weeks to raise a Tom turkey on a special protein enriched, vitaminized diet. Hens only take 18 weeks because they Queensway Visitors Shop At Wilson's jeweller 413 Main St - Exeter PLEASING YOU convener of the South IIibbert canvassers.
