•> William T. Thompson of Clifton,
pioneer turkey grower of Ells-
worth, Iowa and ■ Mrs. Thompson
were honored by their foriper
towttfolk by being named King
. and Queen for the annual Turkey
Day celebration in the. Ipwa city
on September 8. Mr. and Mrs.
Thompson made a •special trip to
Ellsworth for the big- occasion and
report a most royal time. .
• Approximately '5,000 -persons at-
tended thiSv,-all-day eVent, and
10,000 turkey sandwiches were
served free of charge./’
A report, from the, Ellsworth
paper says:
\Thfi growth of the turkqy indus-
try at Ellswi^n follows closely the
history .of tile Thompson' Hatchery
from the year 1929 when Bill raised
his. first flock of 50 turkeys on the
home farm located one mile east
of Ellsworth through 1980 . with
close to 1,OQO raised and Nan in-
crease each year until 1935 Vhen
Ray Thompson, a brother, jomed
Bil-t in the expanding program car-
ried on at the farm.
“As other local farmers began
buying poults from Bill.and Ray.
the demand became so great that
the Thompson Hatchery was found-
ed in 1937.
“In 1938 Vernon •Peterson* be-
came a member of the firm and
the 'first hatchery building^ was
erheted.
“The company also included Bur-
.nice Holt, formerly of Ellsworth
but no»v,of Clifton, where the com-
pany .bought .farm land. The Bill
Thompsons and Holts moved • to
Clifton in order to produce earlier
eggs from which to obtain an •arl-
ier bird to be marketed wheq
- "fpi-ices were at the top level.
“A high point in ‘progress’ was?
reached with the foriping of the
Central Cooperative Turkey Pro-
duces of Ellsworth in 1945, de-
signed to process and market close
to 2,000.000 pounds of New York
dressed turkeys that year, follow-
ing the completion of the T>lant on
October 12. As demand for New
York dressed birds lessened, an
eviseerating plant was added in
1952. This year the plant plans to
process 5,000^000 pounds With 100',;
eviscerated.
“The .chbicp of BiU . Thompson
and his wife as King and Queen
arid their decision. to travel from.
Texas to reign-pn this (Lay is a
mutual tribute to the pioneers in the.
industry and to' the community as
a whole.” ' - ; . ’ ‘ .
Mr. Thompson and ■■Mr.- Holt, on
the„Clifton locations, have about
11,500 young turkeys that are, be-
ling grown to produce eggs for the
Thompson Hatcheries in Iowa this
coming year. The Thompsons and
Holts believe that to make a justi-
fiable profit in the turkey business,
’they m^st be grown on a large
scale. They .try every new .method
that seems feasible to them to im-
prove their flockS and in this.man-
ner have been out front in the
field'of turkey growing.
