PROBLEMS OF
POULTRY TRADE
Discussed at a Meeting Held
at Georgetown School
Auditorium
SPECIALISTS GIVE TALK

Thirty-five leading hatcherymen
of Sussex met in the Georgetown
High School, recently. to discuss
problems of the poultry industry
of the county. In spite of the
severe storm that prevailed the at
tendance showed that these men
and women are vitality interested in
this important phase of agriculture.
County Agent c. r. Snyder was in
charge of the meeting and was as
sisted by A. D. Cobb, assistant di.
rector of extension; H. S. Palmer,
poultry specialist; DR.. R. o. Baus-
man, research economist; R. o.
Stelzer, extension economist, and
A. E. Tomhave, research poultry
man, all of the University of Del
aware and Wilson Hatfield, repre-
senting the State Board of Agri-
culture. Some of the problems dis
cussed were the size of the flock
to produce Matching eggs, the
breeds and varieties to introduce or
develop, considering future de-
mands. the dates of Matching and
percentage of pullets to provide the
supply of Matching eggs when
needed, the eradication of pullorum
disease, the Standardization of flock
breeding, and the specified mini
mum premiums that should be paid
flock owners for producing hatch
ing eggs of certain specifications.
This is not only important to the
hatcherymen but to each individual
flock owner and especially those
who are in the Matching egg bust
ness. With certain changes in the
management of the poultry indus
try, the poultrymen of the county
can produce Matching eggs or the
highest quality and be paid accord
ingly and thus increase their in
comes many thousands OF dollars.
However, to do this It IS necessary
for all interested in poultry to
work together. The hatcherymen
alone, can not do i. neither can
the poultrymen, but oy working to-
gether many of these problems can
be solved to the advaa tage of every
Sussex county poultryman and
those interested in poultry. Last
week these same problems were
presented to the poultrymen at four
different meetings.
