i Pace Six THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, December 11, 1959 Egg Referendum in State Next April 2 A state-wide program to help sell more and better Tar Heel poultry products—especially eggs—is under way.

The group decided to hold a state wide egg referendum on April 2, 1960, with egg producers voting on a prosposal for an assessment of one cent on each culled hen sold in the state. If the referendum has a favorable vote by two-thirds, the assessment will go into effect on May 1, 1960. Any person who owns all or part of a flock may vote. Money collected from the assess ment would finance a state egg pro ducer association, which would pro mote the sale of North Carolina eggs through advertising, consum er education'and market contacts. It’s estimated that about $30,000 a year would be collected for the as sociation. This money would pro vide for a manager or executive secretary of the association, adver tising and promotion to develop markets for North Carolina eggs. If the hen assessment wins ap proval, the Poultry Council will set up a committee whieh will form the association and hire its em ployees. The association will repre sent the state’s egg producers. Wayne Corpening of Winston- Salem, a vice-president of Waeho- via Bank and its agricultural man ager, presided at the meeting. He said that the egg sale promotion program would be followed by sales promotion projects for other farm segments of the poultry industry in the state. (There is already an as sociation for poultry processors.) It is estimated that North Caro lina buys about 95 per cent of its eggs from Tar Heel producers, and that these producers are now sell ing about 15 per cent of their eggs outside the state. The state is only a few hundred miles from the huge egg markets of the North Atlantic coast, and large volume sales to these markets depend on a ready supply of top quality eggs in the Masonic — Sun. - Wed.

Poultry processors would collect the assessment and send it to the office of the state Commissioner of Agriculture, which would turn it over to the Poultry Council. ’The council’s committee to form the association would be composed of representatives from the table egg and hatching egg industries (includ ing producers, from State college and from the N. C. Department of Agriculture. Each year, the Poultry Council would report to the public on the money collected and its expendi ture. The assessment would be effec tive for three years. After that, a referendum would be held to find out if producers want to continue the association. Date of the later referendums would probably be the same date for other agricultural referendums in the state.
