Price Changes In
Poultry Marketing

Why are bFoiler fiocks sold for
different prices on each market
day at the Selbyville Eastern
Shore Poultry Growers Exchange?
A survey has been conducted by
University of Delaware agricultur-
al economists to discover the rea-
sons for the price differences.
They found that the prices agreed
rather closely with the quality re-
ports Of inspectors. Only fiocks
with exceptional ratings received
high premiums and discounts. Sell
ers acquired reputation, not al
ways earned, for poor or high quail
ity fiocks which influenced the
price they received for them. The
researchers also found that since
the establishment of the Eastern
Shore Poultry Growers Exchange
in 1862, the daily spread in prices
has decreased. The Exchange
keeps all concerned better inform
ed about prices, market conditions,
changes and trends, and the re-
spectiye wishes of buyers and sell
ers.
The results are reported in a
new bulletin entitled "The Daily
Spread in Prices Among Broiler
Flocks Sold on the Eastern Shore
Poultry Growers Exchange"
Growers can learn, through the
Exchange, the flock characteristics,
desired by the buyers. The farmers
then adapt the characteristics, such
as color, age and weight Of market
ing, thus decreasing the spread of
premiums and discounts.
The Bulletin, number $50, can be
obtained from your county agent
or the Bulletin Room, Agricultural
Hall, University Of Delaware, New
ark, Delaware.

ferent at McDonough which is stu
ated on a well-traveled thorough
fare but also in a neighborhood
populated by lower-income fam
lilies.
A crowd averaging about 100
grouped across the street from the
school where the three Negro girls
and one white boy studied. The
group, however, was a sharp re-
duction in number from previous
days.
At the end of the school day,
US. marshals quickly slipped into
the building, then emerged just as
rapidly, leading the three little
girls, one at a time, to three wait
ing autos
The cars drove away with police
escort The little girls, each one
immaculate and fresh-eyed, rode
in a back seat. They looked In
quiringly out the windows. From
their well-scrubbed faces came no
sign Of fear.
Enrolment Drops
Either they didn't understand
the taunts or they had been pre-
pared for them armed with vast
quantities Of restraint and cour-
age.
The normal enrolment Of the
schools totals 1,03S. Negroes en-
tered them for the first time Mon
, day and attendance dropped in
creasingly every day thereafter.
Attendance in fact, dropped off
sharply in the entire New Orleans
school system. OF a total 36,726
students in elementary and Sec
ondary schools, 1896 failed to
show up for classes.
Teen-Agers In Violence
Many teen-aged students, both
white and Negro, took part in the
violence. Negroes drove through
the streets shooting wildly at white
pedestrians and whites beat Ne
groes.
The school board, whose offices
were the target Of a yelling mob
that police quelled with fire hoses,
said it was tired Of letting the
schools be a battle-ground for the
fight between state and federal
rights"
