Scope and content
Steilacoom frog farmer Charles Turner holds two of his prized large bullfrogs. The former taxicab driver quit his job last year to raise bullfrogs and now has 50,000 frogs on his cozy Steilacoom farm. Turner plans to market them in two years for the delicacy, fried frog's legs. Turner and his wife were bitten by the "frog raising" bug while on a trip to California where they visited a large frog raising operation where a manager revealed the profits to be made and the large market demand. It takes about 3 years to raise a frog to the market size of 30-36 inches. (T.Times, 7/30/1937, p. 16)
