THE EAST HAMPTON STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1938 New York Grows Bigger Turkey Crop For Thanksgiving, Christmas Tables Growing turkeys, mainly for the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner tables, Is again becoming an important farm industry In New York State. Years ago turkey raising thrived In this part of the country, but a disease called blackhead greatly limited pro duction. Consequently most o f the birds supplied to New York and other large centers have been coming from the West and South, where the ranges have been comparatively disease-free, and where land, grain and natural feed crops arc more abundant. About ten years ago, however, higher prices for turkeys and a growing de mand for fresh-killed native birds en- bers and the chief marketing centers. The turkey market is a \fast one.” Within a few weeks, beginning about the middle of November, a large part of the supply is sold. At this time prompt and frequent information about market trends and prices Is of utmost Importance to growers. New York's turkey crop in 1938 is estimated to be 7 per cent larger than in 1937. But the newly-revived industry “ has barely scratched the surface of future possibilities,\ in the opinion of George A. Jeffreys, of Calcium, N. Y., secretary of the growers' association, pointing to the demand from nearby markets. _____ More than two- thirds of the nation's crop of some 20,000,* 000 turkeys is mar keted in November and December, for the b i g h o l i d a y s , w h e n tu r k e y b e comes a traditional feature of the menu. New York City alone consumed some 23,- 000,000 pounds of the festive birds during these months In 1937. © T h o C o u n try H o m o M a g a z ine It's feeding time for “ drumsticks on the hoof” at big turkey farm near Mlllerton, N.

They have de veloped methods of growing turkeys in lim ited spaces, protecting against disease and making possible the economical production of tender, meaty birds on a larger scale than had been possible before in this section. Turkey centers have developed quick ly. For instance, Cortland County, which raised only about 3,000 turkeys a few years ago, is expected this year to har vest a crop of 50,000. Jefferson and S t Lawrence counties follow second and third in rank with 40,000 and 30.000. Large commercial farms have been es tablished around Albany, on Long Island, and in various sections near New York City. The growers have an active organ ization, the New York State Turkey Association, with several hundred members. During the turkey season this association issues to its members a weekly report on market conditions. This iB to a large extent based on fre quent telephone communication be tween association officials and mem- (?) E w in g G a llow a y While New York farmers supply but a small part of the shipments to the metropolis, everywhere their turkeys are eagerly sought and readily ab sorbed, generally by consumers in in land cities and towns close to the pro ducers. The fres^-killed birds are fea tured in such cities as Syracuse, Bing hamton, Albany, Schenectady, Water town and Ithaca. About 60 per cent of the birds are sold to retail dealers, restaurants and hotels, 15 per cent to wholesale mer chants in distant cities, while the re mainder go directly to individual con sumers. Those sold to the latter direct from the farm are usually ordered by telephone, and in some cases farmers canvass customers in nearby places by telephone to obtain orders in advance. The telephone is also extensively used in arranging shipments to wholesale and retail butchers, in negotiating prices, and in checking credit. The East Hampton Star Press—Quality Job Printing 'Makes Voice Omelets “THIRD HOUSE” ACQUIRED BY BELL AND DICKERSON; WILL OPEN DUDE RANCH tConiinued from Page One] Caught by the photographer in the very act, the young man in the picture is calmly engaged in one of the weird est processes in all \modern magic.” He is turning into sheer nonsense the words being spoken by a person mak ing a telephone call across the Atlantic. And when you talk to someone over seas, this apparatus, in the Long Dis tance Telephone Building in New York City, will also make a kind of scrambled omelet out of your own voice. In fact, this mechanism is Called, in telephone engineering slang, a \scram b ler.” The purpose of this queer proceed ing is to insure privacy when you make such calls. At both ends of the radio telephone route the speech of the talkers is deliberately mangled be fore the high-powered transmitting stations hurl them into the air. Even if a person with a radio receiving set succeeded in tuning in on the conver sation, he couldn't understand it. \Mary had a little lamb” may sound, for ex ample, like \N oyl hob e ylippey ylond.” The scrambling equipment can vary the process, and the confusion is further intensified by the different voice inflections of individuals. At each receiving end, of course, the speech is unscrambled by other appa ratus and passed along in its original form to the listener— the omelet is turned sunny side up, as it were. Thus, in a call to England, your voice passes over telephone wires to New York, where it is “ scrambled,” and then goes to the transmitting station at Lawrenceville, N. J., is amplified there, thrown on the air, picked up overseas, unscrambled in London, and delivered over wires to \your party.” His speech reaches you through a like process.

Bell and Dickinson have pur chased two and one-half acres of property surrounding the Third House. However, by lease and other arrangements with the Montauk Beach Company, Inc., and other owners they will have nearly 1,000 acres under control.

In his prize-winning design of a bronze panel entitled “ News,” to adorn the entrance *of the New Associated Press Building, in New York City, Isamu Noguchi has placed five men as central figures. One has a telephone, another a camera, a third is a reporter with pad and pencil, while the fourth and fifth hold wirephoto and teletypewriter equipment. All these figures are placed upon a background of wires, emphasiz ing the importance or rapid communi cation in garnerirtg news. Typewriter supplies— Star Office. tion of Wompenanit. Every effort is being made to preserve the old names and landmarks in the area. There are several sites ef Indian homes well preserved, remains of an old stone wall near Oyster Pond, and the old Indian cemetery in which Stephen Talkhouse is buried. Memories of old Indian days, the cattle herding days of yore, and the more recent memories of the days of Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders will add glamour to a stay at the Third House. Phineas Dick inson 3d is carrying on a tradition of three generations in his family in taking over this work. The cat tle herding for the past two seasons has been very successful and is growing every year.
