POULTRYMEN ARE
PLANNING TRIPS
TO UNIVERSITY
Will Attend Summer Meetings
Of The Northeastern Pro-
ducerS' Council

Groups of poultrymen in the north
eastern states, varying in size from
so to $50 or more, are planning tours
to the University Of Maryland at Col
Iege Park to attend the summer meet
ing of the Northeastern Poultry Pro-
ducers' Council, August IA to 16, ac-
cording to word received by Wade H.
Rice, poultry specialist of the extern
sion service. This is the first time
that convention of this organization
has been held in Maryland and, in the
opinion of Mr.. Rice, it will be one OF
the largest and most important poul-
try events ever held in the state.
Organizations of poultrymen in thir-
teen states are included in the North
eastern Poultry Producers Council;
they include Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia.
The program for the convention IN
cludes nationally recognized authori-
ties on practically all phases OF the
poultry industry, as production, mar
keting, organization and standardized
ton of products. According to Mr.. Rice
attention will be given certain legls-
lation designed to be of benefit to the
industry. One problem along this
line, he states, is legislation whereby
loss of poultry by theft may be cur
tailed.
One day will be devoted to tour
of the poultry division of the Research
Center of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture at Beltsville, and the ses-
sions of the conference on Saturday,
August II, will be held in the audi
torium of the Department Of Agricul-
ture building in Washington.

The first payment, which is payable
as soon as compliance with contracts
is checked, will be made at the rate
of 20 cents a bushel on allotments.
The final payment will be made when
local administrative costs for the fis-
cal year 1856 have been determined
and deductions made. This payment,
according to the recent announcement,
will be at least 13 cents bushel, less
the deduction for local costs. The
average cost for local expenses in

bushel.
Benefit payments are made on the
basis of the allotment of each produc-
Ell, which is 50 per cent of his average
production during the base period of
1880 to 1882. They are made out of
receipts from a processing tax of 80
cents a bushel on wheat used for do
nestle consumption, which is 81 per
cent of the total crop. The processing
tax on the 1885 crop will remain I'M

connection with the new contracts
which will be submitted to growers
