The Turkey Crop is Large.

B. 8. Fendig is now handling more turkeys than at any other Thanksgiving season since he has been in business, For day after day there has been a constant procession of wagons at his place unloading turkeys, while all day and all night a large force of men and boys have been busy dressing and packing the birds, for shipment. He has already shipped one oar load and will send out another oar Friday. Each car contains 91 barrels, averaged 25 turks in each barrel, or 2,275 in the car load.
