Starts Turkey Raising on Big Scale
Cornelius Reierson of east of Elgin is entering the turkey business by wholesale. He has contracted for 1,000 two weeks old Mammoth Bronze poults to be delivered in about a week. The venture demands careful management as the birds require special care in their early weeks and the risk of loss drops after they reach three or four weeks old.
