TO
MEET IN DOVER
Countrywide Meeting Called
For Tomorrow, Friday,
November the 18th
TO DISCUSS MARKETING

All poultry raisers, whether broil-
er growers or egg producers,
should be interested in the county
wide meeting which will be held on
Friday evening of this week, No
vember Is, at s o'clock in the base
ment Of the State Board of Agri-
culture building in Dover for the
purpose of discussing the produc-
ton and marketing of poultry in
this section of the United States.
A few weeks ago poultry confer
ence was held in Salisbury Mary
land which was attended by offic-
ials of the Poultry Section of the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration and representatives of the
extension departments of Della
ware, Maryland and Virginia, to
outline plans for making a survey
of the broiler and general poultry
industry on the Delmarva PENN
sula. In order that this survey
may be of the most value to the
poultry industry in this area, these
AAA officials are most desirous of
contracting poultrymen and discuss
ing with them some of their pro-
duction and marketing problems.
AS the live poultry market situa-
ton in New York City has been
very unsatisfactory to poultry rails
ers for number of years, these
AAA representatives are planning
to conduct thorough study of
this condition with a view to MAX
ing the necessary corrections. Ar
rangements for this meeting have
been made by Kent County Agent
Russell E. Wilson in cooperation
with H. S. Palmer, extension poul-
tryman of the University of Della
ware, and H. r. Baker, poultry dis
ease pathologist of the State Board
of Agriculture. Letters have been
sent to all poultry raisers in the
county inviting them to attend and
hear these problems discussed by
these representatives of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
AS this will be the only meeting of
this nature to be held in Kent coun-
ty for the present at least, it is ex-
pected that large number of poul-
try raisers will be in attendance,
for these marketing problems are
of vital concern to the future well
fare of the poultry industry in this
section of the country.
