One result of setting Thanksgiving a week early last
year was an increased consumption of turkeys. In a spirit of ap-
preciation for this aid, members of the Northeastern Poultry Pro-
ducers Council, assembled here for their annual exposition and con-
vention, have arranged to send you two prize-winning White Holland
turkeys--the champion and the reserve champion in our turkey show.
These will be shipped to the White House shortly before Thanksgiving
by the exhibitor, S. Forrey Laucks Yof York, Pennsylvania, owner of
Lauxmont Farms at Wrightsville in the same state.
By growers here I have been asked to convey their hope
that turkey will be served in the White House not only on the
Thanksgiving Day of November 21, but also on the following Thursday
that will be observed as the Day of Thanks in some states. We ask
this as growers who face the problem of marketing a record-breaking
United States crop of more than 32 million gobblers; as growers who
believe that two Thanksgivings instead of one would move our crop as
it never moved before. Your example in serving turkey on the two days,
we are sure, would be followed by countless consumers throughout the
country.

that turkey will be served in the White House not only on the
Thanksgiving Day of November 21, but also on the following Thursday
that will be observed as the Day of Thanks in some states. We ask
this as growers who face the problem of marketing a record-breaking
United States crop of more than 32 million gobblers; as growers who
believe that two Thanksigivings instead of one would move our crop as
it never moved before. Your example in serving turkey on the two days,
we are sure, would be followed by countless consumers throughout the
country.
Respectfully yours,
Grant Jasper.
Grant Jasper,
President.

a concentions hard worker of
very poor circumstances, willing

been happy to carry on,
I am trying to define this

Some years ago while working
on a farm in Horcester mass
he shot a Brown Crow, something

ago he saved enough money
to have a picture taken of it,
and he has asked me to send
it to Rossevelt the only Dhird

that Ripley never saw before.
I think that he may have
voted for you,
so please accept Mr. President
this token from one humble
american that under his rough
