ton. Miller spoke to a group of
broiler growers at the University
of Delaware Farm and Home Week
in Newark last week.
There is much talk that the
new areas coming into broiler pro-
duction will drive Delaware broiler
growers out of business" MI. Mill
er said. "It is my contention that
this will not happen. More likely,
it seems to me, is the prospect that
the Delaware area will not con-
tinue to expand as it has over the
last Is years, but production will
be stabilized in this area with the
increased national needs met by
production from new areas"
