Poultry Society Explains Turkey Show Changes
In a letter from Manilla Agricultural Society officials, the poultry sub-committee explains that eliminating turkey classes was due to lack of proper coops and not economy. They note declines in entries and urge local turkey breeders to support future shows with better housing and cooperation. The committee highlights prize-money increases and seven trophies won, hoping for stronger turkey participation in 1936.
