EDITORS COMMENTS
A Morning Round with Mary: Hand-Rearing Turkeys in the 1930s This evocative photograph captures the daily routine of a young woman as she goes about her morning round to feed her flock of hand-reared turkeys. Dressed in a simple yet practical outfit, she carries a large pail filled with feed slung over one shoulder, while in the other hand she holds a smaller bucket to scoop out the feed. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the lush greenery and the contented expressions of the turkeys as they peck at the feed she offers. The practice of hand-rearing turkeys for sale at Christmas was a common tradition in rural communities during the 1930s. Turkeys were often raised on small family farms, and the process of rearing them from chicks to mature birds was a labor-intensive one. The young woman in this photograph is likely part of such a family, and her dedication to the flock is evident in the tender way she interacts with the birds. The historical significance of this image lies in its depiction of a bygone era, when the connection between farmers and their livestock was much more intimate than it is today. It also serves as a reminder of the seasonal nature of agriculture, with Christmas turkeys being a symbol of the holiday season. The image is a testament to the hard work, patience, and love that goes into producing a traditional Christmas meal. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time, to a simpler era when the rhythms of nature and the traditions of the past shaped our daily lives. The young woman in the photograph, with her pail and bucket, becomes a symbol of the resilience and determination of rural communities, who continue to preserve the traditions of the past while adapting to the challenges of the present.
