Since last September the Exten-
sion Service of Delaware has been
receiving and compiling information
relative to the number of eggs set
and chicks Matched weekly In many
of the leading hatcheries on the Del
marva Peninsula. In addition to the
hatchery records, many railroad sta
tions report weekly on the chicks
received at their offices. This type
of information was started during |
tue regime of Bayard V. Carlnean,
former assistant county agent for
Sussex county. There will be gem
eral complication over a period of
time which will tend to avoid some |
of the disastrous gluts of the chick
and broiler markets experienced In
the past.
