Record County Turkey Trade Sets Christmas Milestone
Maury county reports a record $60,000 in Christmas turkeys with about 20,000 shipped from Columbia. Farmers benefited by roughly $60,000 in value while shippers saw mixed profits due to a demoralized New York market. Weather kept prices steady as some shipments sold higher in Chicago than in New York. Women farmers sold $100 to $200 worth in a yearly growth. A simple safeguard for mothers notes Foley's Honey and Tar as a trusted remedy.
