T BROILERS The Importance Of
the broiler industry to Delaware
and the Delmarva Peninsula was
{ explained at the Dover Rotary Club
meeting in the Dinner Bell Inn.
last week by Ralph r. Fischer. who
was introduced by Emanuel Bar
fos, chairman of the club program
committee
! In presenting some statistics rel
! ative to the rapid expansion of this
enterprise, Mr.. Fischer called at
tentiOn to the fact that of the 1856.
/ 100000 broilers started on the Pen
msuIa last year, Delaware's share
! was 75,OO0,O00, and it required an
! prOximately 375 tons of feed to pre,
pare the birds for market. It is
also interesting, he said, to note
/ that among the seven large broiler-
producing areas in the United
States Delaware is in the lead, but
competition is very keen, which is
a constant reminder to all Delaware
poultrymen to produce high oual-
itv broilers."
