'- Tells OF Poultry
Every raiser of poultry in the
state was concerned with the talk
this afternon of l.. b. Sprecher, CIV
en- to the Pennsylvania Poultry Asso-
| citation. He said: The principal
part of the farming business which
| brings real success is the weak spot
| in the farmers armor, namely,
marketing his product to the best
| advantage.
This can be remedied in only one
! tway-co-operation This is done in
| Canada, where they explain that the
| object of cooperation is to improve
the quality of eggs as they leave the
| farm and to place them In the hands
of the consumer with the least pos
sible delay and in the best possible
! condition"
He advised a cooperative associa-
ton which can obtain better prices
with its large output. He en-
phasized that the cost of selling is
much less when units are consolidat-
ed; likewise the purchase of raw ma
| terials is less.
The speaker pointed out that the
| two routes for eggs to reach the con-
/, sumer are huckster and general store
and that both of these entails an i'm
mense amount of breakage, waste
and expehse. the cost coming event.
ually for the consumer.
Concluding, he gave figures from
the Canadian system used in On
tario, as follows: The number of
egg circles or units was thirty-six
with membership of 1,04S. The
cash receipts for eggs marketed CO.
operatively wass104,227.36 The price
that would have received at general
store prices was determined to be
| SS9,345.5O; leaving a balance of
i $14,S72.S6 to be distributed, in other
words, velvet.
He suggested that cooperating
marketing start in Pennsylvania in
county units, and announced that
Lancaster has started one to lead the
way for the rest of the state.
