Turkey Crop Still Puzzle to Experts LINCOLN The size of the 1955 turkey crop is still some thing of a puzzler to the ex perts, says Glenn H. Thacker, ex tension poultry specialists at the University of Nebraska Col lege of Agriculture. Growers intentions as of the year were to raise about the same number of heavy turkeys and 11 per cent fewer small birds. Indications are that from 5 to 10 percent more heavy breeder turkeys are being held, but a smaller number of light breeders are on hand. In view of the heavier num bers of breeders in flocks, the lighter hatching and setting records are puzzling, Thacker says. Possibly some more breed ers than usual may have been marketed, and more breeders may have been left to come into lay naturally without lights. The potential for a heavy tur key crop in 1955 which would be as large or larger than the 1954 crop is still with us, he says. Much will depend on what hap pens in the next 30 to 60 days In the heavy production areas such as California, Minnesota and Texas.
