Turkey buyers have been through the farming districts aroun¥ about the Dborough offering prices and purchasing for the city market. But few bargains, however, were closed. Turkeys are scarce in this section this year. John C. Hawkins, who handles turkeys for the Providence and Boston markets, is the raiser of the famous white breed. Turkey raisers find it exceedingly hard to get the birds by the one month stage. Damp weather for a day or two in April or May gives them a cold and hundreds may die in a week. One raiser lost 40 from a brood of 70 in five days. All summer they are the prey of foxes and fortunate is the tarmer who gets 35 out of 75 to the Thanksgiving market. It is predicted here that the price will be 38 and 40 cents per pound. When Cana! Was First Talked Of.
