POULTRYMEN FIND PINE
"SHATS" AID HENS TO LAY
suPPosEDWORTHLESS NEEDLES
TO BE IN DEMAND ON PENINSULA
One Poultryman Near Seaford Tries
an Experiment of Making Hens
Nests of Them With Fine Results

an Experiment OF waking rSHS
Nests of Them With Fine Results
The supposed worthless pine need
les, or as they are better known down
the Peninsula as "pine shafts, are
now in demand and are bringing big
price per bale. At one time they
were considered of nn value and all
expected of a man who wanted load
of "shats" was that he should rake
them up and haul them away. While
farmers used them in bedding their
stock and in covering tender plants
in winter, the production was so great
they were practically worthless.
A short time ago a northern man.
who is engaged in the raising of poul-
try and pigeons on an extensive scale,
visited Middleford, a small village
about four miles west of Seaford, and
was much interested in the hens
nests, which were filled with the pine
needles. He at once arranged for
small shipment and after giving them
a trial purchased three tons of them
from Hill Brothers. of that place.
Shortly after their shipment was made
Hill Brothers were much surprised to
receive check for $54, or at the rate
of S18 per ton, for a commodity that
can be secured at very little expense
and in that region is practically mex
haustible.
The news of the affair soon spread
through that section of the country
and since that time every able bodied
man has gone to work raking "shats. "
State Senator ELECT Edward Brown,
who was in Wilmington, in comment
ing upon the shipments made. said
that he never expected to see anyone
buying "pine shats," and that Hill
Brothers were as much surprised as
anyone else when they received such
large sum for what is generally con
sidered in that part of the State as 1
worthless product. AS there arr
