Develop Local Markets
For Poultry Products
i There is no valid reason way
j North Carolina markets should buy
| a large part of their poultry and egg
| supplies from outside of the State.
; Present importations are large and
!therefore the opportunity exists for
! poultry growers to develop local ma>
!ets in a profitable way.
"Local growers may capture these
'markets if they take the same pains
as their competitors to produce a
I quality and do a little judicious ad
vertising," says N. W. Williams,
jpoultryman at State college. "It is
most important, however, to produce
a quality product. In marketing eggs,
j careful grading is of utmost inn -
j portance yet few of our local poul
trymsn pay any attention to this,
therefore, they place on the market,
eggs of a wide range in size, shape,
shell-color, and shell texture. Then
jtoo, these mixed eggs go in any kind
|of container that may be handy.
When these local eggs are placed
side by side with those produced by
| the large out-of-state concerns, the
i locally grown product looks bad.
: It is not alone that the eggs must
be packed in attractive containers
iand be well graded, they must also
be consistently good, says the poul
try man. They ought never to be over
j4B hours old and preferably infer
| tile. One bad egg slipped into a con-
Itainer by accident might ruin th?
trade of a valued customer. Then,
too, fresh eggs are used largely in
the diet of babies and invalids. Those
purchasing for such purposes right
fully expect consistency in products.
The same fundamental reasoning
applies to marketing broilers locally,
says Mr. Williams. The grower must
j study the demands of his market and
endeavor to meet them. The season
'of best prices should also be studied.
Milk-fed broilers, finished in good
' shape, when everyone else is not
j selling them, will return a good pro
fit to any local poultryman.
