P. Li beau, extension poultry market ing specialist at State College. But the local broiler industry it self can help gain deeper and wid er markets and increase sales, he emphasizes. Here are some of the things that Libeau thinks brolld' processors and feed dealers can do to promote broiler consump tion: 1. Devise and adopt methods of encouraging families to get a port able barbecue designed for bar becudng chickens. 2. Make outdoor broiler bar becues universally popular but start first at home. In the com munity. county and state. 3. The family type barbecue stands could be used as tie-in sales with broilers, other poultry, and outdoor equipment. 4. Encouraee and promote the use of nortable barbecue stands as rifts. Gifts of these stands mi?ht be encourared even at Christmas. This should helo to prenare for bleeer and better brolter sales and more aericultu^al income for North Carolina in 1956.

Waynesville, produced 10,388 pounds of milk and 310 pounds of fat. This production represents ap proximately 4883 quarts of high quality milk. This is according to the official Herd Improvement Registry record released by the American Guernsey Cattle Club "Chene" Was a ten - year - old and was milked two times daily for 305 days, while on test. "Chene" is the daughter of the famous Guernsey sire. Bournedale Brieht Star, that has 32 sons and tested daughters in the Perform ance Reeister of the American [Guernsey Cattle Club.

Room Aids \ Poultryman i pi I A good egg holding room will help you to deliver better quality eggs to your market. You may ask tt does temperature affect egg qual- hi lty? yes, the temperature of your gi egg holding room can and does P< affect the quality of eggs you sell d. Experimental work has shown " that if the temperature of the holding room is maintained at 80* F. with a humidity of 80 per cent t< the eggs will be of top quality at t the end of one week. . A study of the egg production and handling practice was made n each month on twenty farms for p one year in Michigan. The things 1 W-.ich affected egg quality most v\?re: (1) number of times eggs were gathered; (2) how they were * cooled; (3) how they were clean- 81 ed; <4t how often the eggs were ^ marketed; and (3) the temperature and humidity of the egg room. w Every poultry raiser knows that n egg care is important, especially >tiirinff warm weather; but let's keep in mind that if eggs are to ^ reach the consumer as top quality n they should be collected four to five times a day. cooled qufcklv. and kept 1n a cool moist place until t: sold. ? The temperature at which hatch- u ine eees are held nrlor to sett In? v can affect hatchabHitv. Te?t t( work has found that esres held at 55* F. for fourteen davs hatched 78 oer cent while eff?s held at 75 to 85? F. hatched onlv 55 ner cent.
