Patience, Mr.. Farmer, Patience!
Is the farmer a business man? He
is seldom given the opportunity to
bargain. He usually has to take
what the market offers him for his
products. The most useful relation
ship that the farmer can have to
business and at the same time have
an expression in the business of his
community and section, is to become
affiliated with his local Civic or
Commercial Organization. Such a
relationship is offered to the farm
ers of the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula
thru the local Chamber of Commerce
1t has been said that the Eastern
Shore of Virginia Chamber of Com
merce has the most complete Pro-
gramme of any Organization in an
agricultural region. 1t is backed,
by farmers, buyers, bankers and
business men.
R. w. Dunlap, Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, in speaking before
the World Poultry Congress at OF
iowa, Canada, submitted the follow
ing figures:
The poultry and egg crops in 1926
for the u S. were estimated at a
value of one billion, one hundred
eighty-one million dollars. The
distribution of the poultry industry
is country wide, as poultry flocks
are kept in every State and in every
County. Specialized egg farming is
particularly important on the Pacific
Coast. and in the North Eastern
States.
More money is returned to the
farmers in the State of Delaware
for eggs than for any other commod-
lty produced. More than one mill
ion, eight hundred fifty thousand
chicks are Matched every three
weeks on the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula.
