STUDY PROBLEM
OF MARKETING
Farmers of This Section to Take
Up Conditions So Far Not
Fully Developed.
MONTHLY MEETINGS HELD

Those interested in vocational work
in Atlantic County realize that the
marketing side of farming has not
been fully developed in the past, and
a concerted effort is 10 be made this
winter TO work out the local problems.
At the present time there are two
community markets in Atlantic City.
Men interested in these markets have
organized and will have monthly meet
ings in such centers as Cologne and
Pleasantville.
Work in connection with this in
struction will include the possibility
of new crops, study of old production,
methods of grading and packing, es-
adjustment of market prices, adver-
Using, regulation of poultry products
and other general features.
On November IL farmers of the In
let market will start a new shed under
the cooperative plan. They will sup
ply the labor for the building, which
will be 100 by Is feet.
Considerable effort will be made in
the coming months with such prob
lens as fertilizers, irrigation, green
house work, farm management, and
other studies that have been worked
out from production and prizes from
the wholesale market of Atlantic City.
Vocational schools of the county
will open a field of intensive study
among the shore districts this winter
for the purpose of solvingo Their prob
lens submitted by farmers of the sew
eral communities. Men will be orga-
nized in the centres of Leeds Point,
Cardiff and Linwood, with farmers
neal Pennington. Absecon and Abse-
con Highlands attending the School
in the centre nearest them.
With the fact in mind that the poul-
try industry of this section has grown
rapidly, and with a hope to make this
part OF farm life a leading n in the
county, farmers and poultry producers
will be given organized instruction in
various branches of poultry work such
as community Matching, cooperative
breeding, raising early broilers and
fall roasters, poultry meat production,
and egg production.
1t has been estimated that within
the last four years the poultry work
of this section has doubled, and it is
predicted that it will increase more
rapidly as a result of organized in
struction among the farmers.
