SMALLER TURKEYS FOR CHRISTMAS I B.v Air Mail—Own Correspondent! LONDON, 24th November. Chelsea art practitioners are not the only people to find they have to conform to modern domestic conditions. Just as the artists are painting smaller pictures, not to overcrowd the walls of modern self-contained fiats, so the tur-key-raisers are now trying, mainly by later breeding, to bring the dimensions of these Christmas birds within the capacity of a small flat oven. So we must reconcile ourselves to the probability, in these days of scientific everything that within measurable date our Christmas turkey may not be much more imposing than a well-developed duck. A generation that grows seedless raisins and figs is certainly not going to be euchred by the problem of slimming the festive turkey. Yet is is a nice point how far the customary feeding-up process for the Christmas market may be compatible with the reduced size ambition. Can the smaller turkey be combined with the plump silhouette? Yet why not? Do we not all know gaunt giants and fat aldermanic dumpties?
