MARKETING OFFICIAL
SPEAKS AT MILFORD
Continued from first page)

a cure-all. He had been studying the
problem of marketing for % years,
he said, and he found that some
phases were still obscure and he was
merely endeavoring to find trail
out of the wilderness. Much has
been said incondemnation of the
middleman, but if it was not for the
middleman, the speaker said, most
people would starve to death and
about the only one who would not
would be the farmer.
There was a time, the speaker
said, when most produce raised in a
state was sold within its borders,
but this has changed. California and
various other states are now ship
ping cantaloupes and getting better
prices than some of the local grow
ers. California is also sending apples
to the east in vast quantities. Re
Gently Missouri shipped a carload
of berries to Boston and received five
cents a quart more than the highest
price secured for the best berries
produced on this peninsula. Even
eggs are shipped from California and
bring higher prices than those ship
ped from the Eastern Shore.
The success of the Western states
in selling products, he believed, was
due to Standardization. This applied
to grading and handling. Co-opera-
tive associations have also done
much to aid these states and he be-
lieved that before long there would
be a cooperative organization oper-
ating in Del-Mar-Va. One co-opera-
tive association in California ship
ned $4,000 cars of farm produce last
year and it all bore the same brand
and was of standard quality. The
produce was sold on per cent com
mission while usually the charge is
Z per cent.
Attention was given Delaware ap-
ples and it was declared by the
speaker that when the first crop OF
apples come on, the growers rush TO
ship them and thus go into compe-
tition with each other Ind with
other growers. Delaware apples are
as good as any. he said, and II STAN
dardized, should bring as good prices
as others. Attention was also gwen
to the matter of sweet potatoes ana
the speaker said that great loss had
been suffered on the peninsula be-
cause sweet potato houses were not
built according to proper specifica-
tions.
DR.. G. Layton Grier, the new pres
ident of the association, asked DIR.
Bomberger why it was that Califor-
mia nuts brought higher prices than
those raised on the peninsula and
the doctor described how the Cali
fornia nuts were washed, graded
and shipped in an attractive way.
Harvey ]. Hill paid high COM
pliment to Fred P. Adkins, the retir-
ing president of the association, and
DR.. G. Layton Grier, the new presi-
dent, for having aided in making the
association successful.
Frank Branch Riley was the last
speaker and gave an illustrated lee
ture on the Great Northwest"

Robert Pierce again distinguished
himself as a soloist, and won much

William Kitchens sang with a
voice like a bell" his when the

with the chorus softly humming was
sung beautifully by Ed, Evans. And
the audience enjoyed Charles
Marsh's splendid rendition of "Try

Hatfield, William Kitchens, and Asa
Gray singing the chorus. "The
World is Waiting for the Sunrise"
was exceptionally good, sung by Asa
Gray.

EGG PRICES WILL Be LOWER
SAYS POULTRY EXPERT

tition, and to make the f1ocks show
a profit in spite of the low price lev
ell which is at present to be expected.
There are several factors which
indicate that prices of eggs may be
lower than they were last year. Egg
receipts in New York City have
been greater this year than during
any recent year. Since January 1,
1927, the egg receipts in New York
City have totaled 3,020,605 cases.
During the same period last year
the receipts were only 2,619,81S
cases. Storage holdings are much
greater this year than any previous
year. On May 1, 1927, there were
5,448,0O0 cases in storage, as COM
pared with 3,735,000 cases last year.
The five year average for storage
holdings for May l are 4,l11,OOO
cases. When prices begin to rise
next fall this extra supply of eggs
will be thrown on the market in
competition with the poorer grades
of nearby fresh eggs. This, of
course, will lower the price of even
the best of eggs to some extent.
MANY henneries are being started
in the South and Southwest. Due to
the lack of profits on cotton in the
past year, diversity is becoming
more necessary, and the farmers
are turning to poultry production to
provide quick cash returns. Eggs
from these states are already inter-
fering with the nearby eggs on the
New York market.
"There is no way of preventing
new areas from becoming poultry
producing centers. The only thing
the Delaware poultryman can do to
keep his profits up is to keep mis-
costs down and produce quality OF
eggs that will command good price
in spite of competition from other
states. During the past few years
poultrymen have made money be-
cause of high prices. This year only
the men who can produce eggs at
the lowest cost will make a profit.
Inefficient poultrymen may be fore
ed out of business. We should all
strive to make our poultry produc-
ton so efficient in Delaware that we
can outlive the new competition
from other states"

brilliant Rotary banquet They were
guests at unique Hawaiian birth
day party. Lou, the main dish of pig
roasted by hot stones underground,
served on table with cloth of the
long Hawaiian tea leaves. They saw
the city gay with wind-blown carp
and giant banners, on Boys Day.
The carp is a fish famous for its
Struggle against obstacles-hence
this old Japanese custom.
DR.. and Mrs. Marshall watched the
native boys diving for coins in the
clear water of the harbor. They saw
the exhilarating sport of surf-riding.
They walked across the crater of an
extinct volcano, and saw others that
were mildly active. And, with the
constant reminder from the lips Of
school children, taxi-drivers, native
and aristocrat, DR.. and Mrs. Mar
shall had the pleasant feeling that
they were at home.
On their way to the Pacific Coast
DR.. and Mrs. Marshall stopped off in
Chicago, and spent an interesting
two days in Salt Lake City, discov-
ering the Mormon of today with his
culture and refinement and monogo-
nous mode of living. They visited
Hollywood and had pointed out to
them the homes of the prominent
movie stars, and they enjoyed two
or three days in San Francisco, en-
tertaining and being entertained by
Mr.. and Mrs. John Holland at their
charming home in Oakland. After all

with color and movement and charm

Last spring, with bumper crops all

fruit began to fall from the trees
and it was necessary to try and dis

added to the big crop, caused gut
This year with but a normal or
even less than normal crop, it is be-
lieyed the price will be maintained
at a stage where there will be pro-
fit in the fruit marketed.
Just how big crop of apples and
peaches will come not even Dr.
Adams can forecast.
"Not for a couple of weeks, at
least, would it be safe to attempt to
make forecast" said DR.. Adams.
"The fruit has not advanced far
enough at this time to pass judg-
ment with any degree of accuracy.
All that can be said is that things
are all right now and there doesn't
appear to be anything that should
prevent the growers from obtaining
good crops"
For the first time in many years
there is no epidemic of anything at
tacking the fruit. This is due large
ly to the scientific methods being US
ed by Delaware farmers now in
spraying and cultivating their crops.
1t is this spraying that affords the
most good. The rainy weather of the
past spring, however, mas made this
almost continuous proposition for
many farmers, because the showers
have washed the spray off almost as
fast as it was placed. However,
enough has been effective so that the
fruit is showing the benefit of it.

fellow, should be inclined 10
greet him as a brother and con.

admitting a knowledge OF his own
limitations, and for playing the
shot in the easiest way.
l shall always believe that Watts
Gum would have been successful
in the play-off at Minikahda il he
had been in position to call on ms
niblic for his second shot on the
first hole. There were 10 or IL
men playing for seven or sight
places, and four was all Watts
needed to be safely in. His drive
was the longest of the lot and left
him only a very wee pitch to the
green, the very weeness OF which,
as it turned out, was his undoing.
The green was very keen and
Watts attempted the shot with his
mashie-niblic. With that club it
was necessary to pitch barely over
the guarding bunker, and the pre-
cision required was too great for
such a tense moment. The shot
was too strong and rolled off the
back edge of the green from where
Watts was unable to hole out in
two more.
