The leading turkey states of the union
In 1M0 were Texas with B4S.671, Missouri
with 4rn,titw, Illinois with 446,ft. und Iowa
with 424,.'XHi turkeys. Hut ten years later,
in 1&10, Texas had 2!.0u3 fewer of tiie
great American table bird: Missouri,
155.090; Illinois, ZCti.OW, und Iowa, 300.145
less. Here are tho four leading sources
of turkey supply In the United States,
whose aggregate output of turkeys In lflO
was nearly 1.000,00b birds less than it was
ten years ugo. .
The Ohio turkey crop dropped off 200,200
birds; the Kansus crop liO.WT; and thus
continues the doleful story until you get
down to Hhode Island, where the popula
tion has Increased 24 per cent and the
turkeys have decreased 015 per cent; and
where there are 50si persons to the
square mile and only 1,109 turkeys lu the
whole state.
In only four states did the turkey really
and truly Increase his tribe. That was
in Idaho, whore the Increase was from
10,211 to 14,274; In Wyoming, where the
gain in ten years aggregated 2:119; Mon
tana, where the Increase wus from 12.ICT
to W.475, and North Dakota, where SS.D73
turkeys lu ) have grown into (J1.475 by
1910.

A certain percentage of donations will
ho kept only In the schools where It Is
known they can be used to advantage and
where they will helti those who would
not otherwise receive assistance. The
educators and philanthropists are agreed
that the 600 teachers of the city have the
most accurate Information regarding the
wants and needs of the U1.000 pupils who
constitute the training army of citizen

nunvtloned the plan to heap clothing,
