North Carolina Farmers Have Mar keted More Than 4.000,000 Pounds of Live Poultry. Tribune. Bureau. Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. May 4.—North Carolina farmers, in cooperation with tne State Department of Agriculture, have marketed more titan 4,000.000 pounds of live poultry at satisfactory prices, during the past three seasons. Year before last the season’s total was 1,000,000 pounds. Last year it amounted to 2.000.000 pounds, and this season, so far. the total stands at about 1.250.000. This method elim inates many over-head charges and nets a more substantial amount to producers, it was pointed out. Eggs are also marketed on the cooperative plan, and the Depart ment is now. through its veterinary division, conducting a campaign for tbo- iurodwtiou of registered poultry, placing special emphaWs in batching baby chicks to supply the demand within the State, which call for the importation of probably a million each year. Poultrymen are being en couraged to secure accreditation for their flocks anti' hatcheries, to insure pure-bred and healthy stock. Strawberry shipments continue very satisfactory, with prices good. Lntext telegraphic reports received at the Department of Agriculture in dicate that, already this season, 1607 carload,s have moved from Eastern North Carolina to northern and eastern markets. The total for the entire season last year was only 1252 carloads. Including and since 11125 producers in this State nave shipped to outside points 4.41)3 car loads of berries. With the closing of the straw berry season the dewberry season will open, with tine results in pros l>eot. For the first time cash ad vances will be made, to cover the harvesting costs and until the ship ments are delivered. This, nowever. applies only to members of the Caro linas Dewberry Association. It was further pointed out that since 1021 North Carolina farmers have shipped approximately 30.000 carloads of potntoes. These facts are of much encourage ment to those advocating diversifica tion.
