Tuckerton is becoming the
poultry-raising and egg-distributine
center of it's district as the result
Of the success of a community egg
business project, known as the
Tuckerton Poultry Farms, Inc. The
company was founded two years
ago by c. R. Cox, postmaster of
Tuckerton and present president
OF the firm. which includes thirteen
other citizens of Tuckerton.
The company ownes 1000 acres
Of land on the outskirts Of the
town, where the parent plant is
located. Here the small poultry
farmer may come to receive instruc-
lions as to the care Of his fowl,
the manner of best inducing his
stock to lay and other information
obtained from modern poultry men
who produce eggs on a large scale.
Adjoining the farm proper is a
warehouse to which members of
the community who have eggs 10

a receipt for the number of eggs
contributed to the community col
lection and await their check at
the end OF the week. after the
ENTERPRISE has sold its daily accnm-
ulation of eggs al New YORK
market prices.
Feed Bought at Carload Prices.
The next move on the part of
the poultry wizards" of the town
was to establish a community
poultry feed distribution system,
whereby the company might buy
feed at carload prices and thus aid
many small poultry men handi-
capped by the retail prices for
grain.
AS a result Of educational cam
paigns among the poultrymen OF
the district and the reasonable
feed prices the company now a
contract with a large New York
egg firm to receive the Tuckerton's
farm output, estimated at 10000
eggs a day.
During the winter season, when
egg production decreases, monthly
meetings are held in the local Fire
House, at which poultrymen from
New Gretna, West Greek and Barne-
gat hear speakers from Rutgers
University discuss the raising and
feeding of poultry.

But relatively little has been said
about woman's effect on business,
which has been tremendous. That this,

due to the fact that ii is an old trick

HAND- -ME-DOWN standards arising
L from sex differences injure the
efficiency of both men and women in
another way. Chivalry in the Middle

and the office morale is suffering with
her.
sex differences are by no means CON
fined TO the difficulties arising from
close associa ton of men and women
in business offices. The roots of many
of the failures in business go back
much farther, even into babyhOOd. To
this group. for instance, belong those
failures whose characters have been
warped by the unhappy love-life OF
their parents A child absorbs the
unhappiness around him as pat or
butter absorbs the f1avors of the ice
box, and unhappiness in married life
boils down, in the main. to malad-

brought UP in such an atmosphere
cannot help rejecting it in his char
acter and his later attitude toward
life.

kind. Our penitentiaries and asylums

women who either had no real love

causes of crime-and one of the chief
means of preventing it.
One of the first things a child does
