J. G.. Townsend BUYS
Big Poultry Farms
Former U. S. Senator Ac-
quires Extensive Hold
ings In Massachusetts

Former United States Senator
John G. Townsend, Jr., returned
Tuesday from South Hamilton,
Mass, where he bought the Flying
Horse Farms, one of the most out
standing poultry and hatchery
plants in New England. Thousands
of laying hens and all equipment
were acquired along with the real
ty. for Townsend, Inc, which is
now one Of the largest poultry pro-
ducing enterprises in the state.
Recently the firm bought a large
poultry plant near Kittery, Maine.
Eggs or hardy strains of chickens
are to be shipped from the New
England farms to Sussex county
for Matching, the eggs from the
cooler northern states being deem
ed much superior for that pur-
pose.
Flying Horse Farms were bought
from Sumner Pingree, who has de-
veloped one of the best strains of
egg layers in New England to the
point where his fiocks have not had
case of coccidosis in five years,
that being one of the most devas-
tating forms of poultry disease.
Former Senator Townsend feels
that a wide distribution of that
strain of chicks through large
scale operations of his hatcheries
eventually will be worth millions
of dollars to the poultry industry
He spent the weekend at the Kit
terry Farm and arranged for
systematic delivery Of eggs twice
week to the Townsend hatchery
from both the New England plants.

Corn Black Market
Threat To Chicks
Insist On Paying Ceiling
Price Only Is Advice
OF The OPA

1t has been brought to the at
tention of the Delaware District
Office of the OPA that there is a
serious threat to the continued
flow to this region of corn for
chicks. because of the unwilling
ness on the part of certain dealers
to conform to the ceiling price
regulation.
For the sake of your chicks. for
the sake of your. own business in
terests you are urged by the OPA
to insist on paying. no more than
$1.207 per bushel. which is the
ceiling price set by the government
on corn in order to insure a fair
distribution and fair profit to all
concerned. If you willingly pay ex-
orbitant fees for corn now, you are
not only helping the seller to help
himself to undeserved profits. but
you are also laying the groundwork
for a serious shortage of feed
which may threaten the lives of
your chicks.

OPA Releases
Odd Lot Shoes
TO Consumers
Dealers Have Right To
Sell UnratiOned Items
From July 19 To 81,
Inclusive.

A limited number of obsolete
and odd-lot shoes are now on sale
7 I'M some state stores, ration-free
for twO-week period, which be-
gan July 19 and which will close
on July 81. An amendment to the
shoe ration order announced by
the Office of Price Administration
makes this possible. The shoes will
represent a fixed percentage of
retailers stocks which must be
sold at specified mark-downs.
All dealers will be required to
use the words "OPA Odd Lot Re-
lease" in any notice or advertise
ment featuring ration-free sales of
these shoes. OPA explained that
this action is not intended to re-
lease any considerable amount of
stocks that are slow-moving but
otherwise saleable against ration
currency. Rather, the new provi-
sions and accompanying off-price
requirements are designed to help
dealers dispose of broken sizes, odd
and ends, and other problem types
that normally accumulate.
Fix Percentages On All Shoe Types
Ration-free percentages are fix
ed for each class of stock and no
dealer may exceed his allowance
in any one class. The number of
pairs of shoes which any estab-
lishment (retailer, mail order
house, wholesaler or manufactur-
er) may transfer as non-rationed
under the new provisions is limit
ed to the following percentages
within each class of stock reported
in the Establishments inventory of
April 10. 1943;
Glass l Mems dress shoes, mems
work shoes. youths and boys
shoes-One per cent.
Glass II Women's shoes-four
per cent.
Glass III Misses, children's and
infants shoes-two per cent.
Glass w all other rationed foot
wear-two per cent.
Sale price of these shoes to the
may not be more than a
ten per cent markup from the
price paid by the dealer. However.
II this price cannot be determined
or IL the shoes were made by the
owner of the establishment, the
selling price must be at least /
per cent below his reg
llar selling price for the shoes as
