rxurkeytoik is the recent fear expressed that black head a turkey disease- might rob mahy a oen before cliristmas is not believed to be more serious this year than informer years one turkey raiser told the newspaper the disease is- difficult to combat jbut there is little reported in mark- sham township while the situation is not so good around locust hill and green river turkey raisers who keep their 7 birds right off the ground are sel- jdotriever troubled and the fact is they are raised on wire floors off the ground for this very purpose even inthis very cold weather the birds remain
