It has always been common
knowledge among most growers
of market turkeys that a hybrid
turkey first cross matures earlier
and is superior in quality
size and vitality to cither of the
parent stock
Similarly several experiments
indicate that an outcross produced
by crossing a lincbred strain
with an unrelated strain of the
same breed has some of the same
characteristics as a crossbreed
more especially if one of the
parent strains has had straight
linobreeding for several generations
carried to the point of
inbrecding where all desirable
qualities have been isolated and
fixedThis
This hybrid similarity in the
quality and rapid growth of the
outcross may ht ve been due to
three factors in the experiments
First the inbred parent was
the strongest of the bloodline
because only the most vitalized
embryos from inbreeding hatch
Second the use of dominant
males each season from stock
which had acquired a concentration
of desirable qualities thru
progressive selection
Third this concentration was
gradually attained as the years
rolled along by selecting the best
bronzed and cleanest marked
young toms to get true color
breeding prepotency at tho same
time as physical dominance was
located by putting all these bronze

Giant Beef Produced

This ad paid for by Cecil Poff
turkey farming
Of course all this trouble to
maintain quality is expensive
business and an inconceivable
amount of piddling around but it
partly explains the difference in
cost and technique between turkey
breeding and Just turkey
raising why you cannot expect a
turkey breeder to scll n bird at
the same low price as asked by
a turkey raiser
Young toms carried thru the
winter continues Cecil Poff
bronze breeder and experienced
dog herder on the North Tule
run up a production and maintenance
cost of over five dollars
not mentioning labor and a constant
vigil as receptionist to meet
all town dogs and other varmints
So if the grower needs a little
profit as interest on part o what
he has put out for standard show
birds and maybe national champions
the very least he can ask
without peeving the gobbler is
ten or fifteen dollars
To avoid arguments over cost
and selling price those with only
a few hens may select the best
birds and lease them for Three
Dollars down and get a refund of
One Dollar when returned at tfie
end of the season Five or
toms hatched May 25th are ready
to go now Also several pullets
that will lay and lay and know
how to bring up a gentle brood
These are Two Dollars down and
