It was Bill Webster’s idea —a
local Cooperative Packaging Asso
ciation. The farmers just bring
their produce to a converted ice
plant, put it on a belt, and it comes
out neatly wrapped in cellophane.
Naturally, it looks a whole Jot
better and more appetizing in the
stores. And the farmers share in
the expense and management of
the Association, which is paying
off in better business.
Because how you show your prod
uct is as important as its quality.
Take a popular beverage like beer.

Maintaining
Culls Is
Expensive
o
North Carolina poultrymen are
losing several million dollars each
year in the form of feed bills by
keeping culls in their laying
flocks, according to Prof. Roy S.
Dearstyne, head of the poultry de
partment at State College.
“Culling of laying birds in the
spring is, or should be, a routine
procedure of the practical poultry
man,” Prof. Dearstyne said, “how
ever, this is not carried out in all
instances on as strict a basis as
‘ it should be done, and considerable
loss results."
’ A laying bird will consume
about nine pounds of feed a
month, which, if figured at four
1 and one-half cents a pound, would
amount to somewhat over forty
cents a bird. YVith feed represent
ing around sixty per cent of the
cost of production, the poultryman
1 can easily figure how many eggs
1 a chicken must lay to pay the cost
i of maintaining it.
Some birds are going out of
- production in all flocks during
- the month of May, and whether in
the business on a large or a small
. scale, it will pay the poultryman
i to follow through on this matter
:i of culling, he said.
Franklin, Worthy Matron, will
preside.
Any visiting members are in
■ vited to attend.
