I les. There viii be a thorough In
spection for diseases.
A new kind OF standard coop will
be used for shipments or truck de
iiver1es, he said, and this will near
a reduction Of IS cents on every three
shipments made. When buyers un-
load at the new terminal they will be
given a slip for the coops and they
will present the slip to the empty
coop division where they will re-
ceive a supply to bring back home.
Efforts, he said, will be made to
clean up the terminal market so that
there will be but eight hours work.
The broilers will be received be-
tween certain hours of day and sold
and deliveries made to the slaugh-
tering houses. Any poultry carried
over will be fed. The details of such
carrying over and feeding has not
been worked out. The old type of
beam scales for weighing will give
way to modern ones which cannot
be tampered with to reduce the
weight to the shippers or buyers.
He pointed out that if the retail
price in this section is around II
cents per pound 1t will be approxi-
mately as much again in the killing
house. He urged that all shipments
bear the name of the grower so that,
il they are of high quality, the con-
sumer will know. Better prices, he
stated, would be received and pur-
chasers would look for the labels
bearing the names of those from
whom they had received first class
stock.
There is to be an advisory council
on which the growers may have rep
through their assOcia-
tiOns.
He stated that the Delaware POul-
try Improvement Association can
have a rented space in the terminal.
He is advocating an auction so pOul-
trymen may cOnsign direct to it.
He laid great emphasis on the for
nation of a strong organization
which will have weight when its
representatives speak. This will
mean much, he said, in advancing
the business and obtaining better
prices. For years, he said, the New
York market has been one of the
worst in the country, but is being
cleaned UP.
