eastern states do not produce
enough poultry for their own con-
sumption, and that they are egg
producing states. That means
their meat production is heavy
poultry, so they could be doubly
important as markets for famous
Delmarva lightweight poultry.
1--WE could not be displaced from
these smaller markets as easily as
from larger areas" McAllister
feels. "If local production is to
continue to expand, rather than cut
down, it is time these markets were
exploited to their fullest degree,
Bullets do it for keeps. Good
chicken of consistent quality, hon.
estly labeled, and carefully packed
will sell ITSELF"
But, says McAllister, to many
people fresh, young chicken is still
only "spring chicken. A program
of consumer information and in
dustry promotion would be needed
to pave the way in these markets
Contacts at wholesale and retail
levels would have to be established
and our distribution system fitted
to these smaller markets.

Wet Barnyards, Foot Rot,
Bad Signs of Spring


Wet, Soupy barnyards found in
Delaware this time of year help
cause foot rot.
Foot rot can be serious unless
treated in time, says Bill Tarbell,
Kent County Agent. IA paved
barnyard is the best solution, but
here is how to treat foot rot if
your cattle have it." Put the an
imal in a clean, comfortable box
stall. Clean the infected foot thor
oughly with warm water and soap,
then apply tincture of iodine to the
infection once a day for several
days. If the infection has gotten
to the pus stage, apply carbolic
acid solution (ounce carbolic acid
to pint of water). Another good
treatment is to battle the foot daily
in a 10 percent solution of creolin.
For less serious cases, boric acid
(powdered) or copper sulphate
(blue stone) can be busted into the
cleft of the hoof. In any case,
keep the hoof thoroughly clean,
even if you have to wrap it in, clean
cloth. A prevention measure,
against foot or foul rot, is to use
hydrated lime at the entrance to
the stable. Put it into a box, or
two by four form, where the cattle
will have to walk through it as
they go in and out. Cattle can
