Excerpt from Turkey Raising For the past twenty years there has been a general and more or less steady decrease in turkey production. And this in spite of the fact that no other branch of livestock returns as great a profit for the money invested and the equipment required. Recently, however, there has been a considerable awakening of interest in turkey raising and a growing demand for detailed information regarding this industry. It has been the purpose of the authors to provide in this publication the latest and most thoroughly reliable information on the subject for the use both of the raiser of market turkeys and of the producer of breeding or exhibition stock. In presenting this information it has been the authors' aim to deal with the subject thoroughly and in great detail and at the same time to keep the work so concise, simple and clear that it is of the greatest practical value either to the beginner or to one more experienced in turkey raising. Recognizing the high value of good illustrations in emphasizing the information given in the text, all phases of this book have been thoroughly illustrated. It is the confident belief of the authors that considered either from the standpoint of the completeness with which all phases of the subject are covered or of the excellence of the illustrations themselves, no equal set of photographs on the subjects treated has ever before been gathered together.

Excerpt from Turkey Raising in California Turkey production in the United States first started along the Atlantic Seaboard and has gradually come westward. In the East as turkey production increased, disease problems multiplied until there was a definite decrease in turkey growing. In recent years eastern growers have demonstrated that by strict sanitation they can successfully grow turkeys. Clean ground, houses, feed, and stock rather than medicines are-the methods used to combat disease. Prevention was found to be the only satisfactory way to control disease. During the time turkey production was on the wane in the East it grew in the western section of the United States. Less turkey and poultry population in this section and particularly the drier climate tended to prevent diseases and parasites. In recent years, however, some sections that have become densely populated with turkeys and poultry have been having severe losses through diseases, parasites, or both. It is apparent that the western turkey grower also must pay strict attention to sanitation. By modern artificial rearing methods and sanitation, diseases and parasites are much more easily controlled than when natural methods of rearing are practiced. California is rapidly becoming an important turkey-producing state, for the long, dry summers seem to favor turkey production on a large'scale. Until the last two or three years, however, very little artificial hatching and rearing was done, though both have been successfully carried on at the California Experiment Station for the past. Fifteen years and repeated efforts were made to interest the growers in artificial methods. Turkey growers have ever been fearful of things mechanical and even after artificial hatching had again and again been demonstrated they were reluctant to believe that artificial brooding could be successfully accomplished in the field.

Excerpt from Turkey Production in California The turkey industry in California is a well-established branch of agri culture. Like many other agricultural enterprises of the state, the turkey industry is highly specialized. Thus, while there are many small farm flocks, a high percentage of the turkeys are raised in large units on farms where turkeys are the main source of revenue. Naturally, many problems face such an industry. These problems are at present the subject of much research activity and, in consequence, knowledge in many fields of direct interest to those engaged in the turkey industry is rapidly increasing. In the following pages, useful informa tion gathered from the experience of those engaged in various phases of the turkey industry, from the literature, and from work in progress in the California Agricultural Experiment Station, is presented. Growth of the Turkey Industry. - Turkey raising developed first in the New England states and gradually spread with settlers to other sec tions of the country. Turkey production was for a long time confined to small farm flocks in California and elsewhere, although commercial fiocks (that is, the production of turkeys as the main enterprise) were reported as early as 1888 in this state. For a long time, however, there was little progress in the turkey industry, and in fact, according to cen sus figures, some decrease in the number of turkeys raised in California occurred from 1890 to 1910. By 1920, turkey production again increased slightly, and in more recent years there has been a rapid growth, which reached a peak in 1936 followed by an apparent decrease in 1937.

Excerpt from American Turkey Journal, Vol. 5: June, 1936 Three full weeks of travel into all the most important turkey producing sections, addressing seventeen meetings of turkey growers, was both a privilege and a pleas ure. At nearly every one of these meetings I met those I had previously met or with whom I felt acquainted thru correspond ence or show publicity. As usual among turkey folks, I met a lot of interesting and wonderful people, as de voted to their turkeys as could be found anywhere, altho I was somewhat surprised to find up to 75 per cent or more of the growers still keeping a very limited num ber of breeders and raising their brood by the old fashioned natural method. While I learned of varying degrees of success in applying this method I saw no thing pointing to the possibility of ever making a success, on the present scale of turkey production handled in that way, and thereby concluded that in this particular case our good Missouri neighbors really do need to be shown. Moreover, I found them interested in, and anxious to learn, more about modern methods and practices of turkey raising. At this point it will be interesting to note something of the past and present status of turkey history in Missouri.

Turkey Management has been the go-to book on turkeys since 1939. The only trouble is, it has been out of print for decades! Thoughtful farmers, breeders, and hobbyists have had to seek out used copies of this book, often seeking in vain, especially for copies of the latest and most complete Sixth Edition. Now you can own a new copy of the Sixth Edition of Turkey Management, with over a thousand pages of turkey lore and 120 illustrations. Incubating, brooding, rearing, feeding, finishing, showing, breeding, free range: it's all here. First published in 1955, this Sixth Edition of Turkey Management was published after all of the revolutions in poultry science had taken place, so it's modern, but before small turkey flocks and free range had vanished and their techniques forgotten. Because it was written before the shift to factory farming, Turkey Management focuses on things you can do yourself: homemade shelters and feeders, feed rations that rely on regional crops, and the use of natural ingredients for vitamins, minerals, and protein (rather than synthetic ingredients or vitamin/mineral premixes). This gives you a better understanding of how all pieces fit together, even if you never pick up a hammer or mix your own feed. Turkey Management is volume 7 of the Norton Creek Classics series. See http: //www.nortoncreekpress.com for these practical, best-of-breed poultry books.
