FARM BUREAU NOTES How to Select Turkey For Thanksgiving When you select your turkey for Thanksgiving, says the United States Department of Agriculture, one of the chief considerations is the amount and quality of the flesh on the body, especially on the breast, back and hips. Plenty of flesh means plenty of meat for carving, and there should be also a generous amount of fat to insure a moist, tender turkey. The French always expose a turkey to the market with the back up so the housewife can better observe how plump the bird is. Feeling the end of the breast or keel bone and examining the spurs on the feet may give some idea of the age of a turkey, but these tests are not infallible for picking out a tender turkey. Almost any turkey can be cooked so that it is tender; but it is, of course, easier to roast a young bird. The best method of cooking a turkey is that by which the flesh is kept moist and juicy. Cooking it in a covered roaster with a little water in the bottom in a carefully regulated oven will prevent it from drying out. The time for cooking varies according to the age of the turkey and its size. The custom of having a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner dates back to the early New England settlers, who found turkeys wild and highly recommended by the Indians. Domestic turkeys are at their prime in the fall of the year, and their size makes them suitable for serving to a good many people, so that the custom, for practical reasons, has continued down to the present. Chickens to Gather At Garden Grove The chickens of Orange county will gather at Garden Grove on December 3, 4 and 5 to strut their stuff before the admiring poultry breeders. Incidentally, there will be chickens there other than the feathered variety, but as this is strictly a utility poultry show, the feathered variety will pre- of the University of California, who have recently completed an exhaustive survey of the orchard heating problem in California. The result of this survey will be presented to the growers. Floyd Young, meteorologist in charge of fruit frost investigations in Southern California, will also be one of the principal speakers of the evening. A wide interest has been shown in orchard heating judging from the many inquiries received by the farm advisor's office on the subject. All growers are invited to attend. Avocado Men to Study Terracing The annual avocado growers' field day, to be held this year at La Habra, will feature irrigation practices on hilly exposures. Prof. J. B. Brown, irrigation specialist from the University Farm, will make a special trip to Orange county on the above occasion to present scientific facts in relation to proper methods of terracing and contouring for hillside orchard planting. Field demonstrations of these methods will be featured during the educational field tour held in connection with the avocado growers' field day. The date for the above event is Saturday, November 28.. At 12 o'clock noon the growers will meet at the community hall at La Habra, where the ladies will provide a delightful avocado luncheon. Following the luncheon, the growers will be conducted through a number of avocado plantings in the La Habra district by members of the farm advisor's office. A number of avocado specialists will participate in the program. Expert Will Discuss Frost Preductions Frost prediction will be the subject of Floyd Young, meteorologist of the United States Weather Bureau, in charge of the local fruit frost survey in Southern California, at the orchard Chickens to Gather At Garden Grove The chickens of Orange county will gather at Garden Grove on December 3, 4 and 5 to strut their stuff before the admiring poultry breeders. Incidentally, there will be chickens there other than the feathered variety, but as this is strictly a utility poultry show, the feathered variety will predominate. This show is being promoted by the Garden Grove farm center, and the Citizens bank, in co-operation with the poultry department of the Orange county farm bureau, for the purpose of advertising the advantages of Garden Grove as a commercial poultry center. Mr. Lambert of the Citizens bank is responsible for the statement that there is considerable land in the vicinity of Garden Grove particularly adapted to poultry raising. It is now being farmed, but crops to which it has been planted are deteriorating. He believes that the prosperity of Garden Grove can be substantially stimulated by the introduction of large poultry ranches to supply the increased Los Angeles demand for "cackle berries." The success and interest taken in a previous winter poultry show held at Santa Ana, four years ago, encouraged the promoters of the Garden Grove utility show to believe that their gathering will be a tremendous success. The birds will be housed in the Garden Grove Mutual Orange Distributors' packing house, and no admission price will be charged for attendance. A competent committee is busy arranging a series of entertainments, and advertising space will be sold to pay for this entertainment. H. R. Howell, who has so successfully managed the poultry shows at the Orange County Fair for a number of years, has been selected manager for this utility show, a fact which bespeaks success.
