Let's Talk Turkey Prospects for Profits in Confinement
A 1910s style piece argues farmers misjudge turkey farming limits and outlines the advantages of confinement.

Talk Turkey methods beat old hatchery lore
A 1929 piece by Dr. L. D. LeGear argues incubators and brooders reduce turkey diseases like blackhead compared to hens, stressing three core needs: sound feed clean water and clean range. It claims successful chicken raisers can similarly farm turkeys with proper incubation brooding feeding, and invites readers to contact the editor with inquiries to promote turkey awareness and local demand.
