Turkeys here cheaper than chickens, turkeys 38¢ lb and chickens 40¢ & 45¢ lb in the stores Dec 23rd Sunday warmer again sat out in the back yard and read in the morning and in the afternoon walked out to. cor {corner} {Cudge?} & Pachappa. to see Mrs Benner's Sister, she is pretty badly used up with Rheumatism & is 87 years old, but is very nice. met her daughter Mrs White who lives at 1205 Lemon st also her son. Mr Coppley who has a plumber shop on 10th street. we had quiet a chat on fruit growing. He thinks one can make money in oranges if properly taken care of but Walnuts is best he thinks sold some of his at 17¢ & 20¢ lb. in the stores asking 45¢ for the best. they sure make some profit. Tomatoes here the canners paid $16.50 a ton, that is about 50¢ a bushel, thinks they ought to get $20 00 per ton. It was blowing quiet a breeze again today. have had more wind since we arrived than for years
