self into difficulties that it is up to
said industry to correct its own dif
ficulties for the good of all con
cerned." Now being considered . in the
House Agriculture Committee of
the United States Congress is a
provision which would place pro
duction controls on broiler produ
ction. The basis upon which to set
individual state and local produc
tion allotments is based on a 10
year historical record for broiler
production.
Should the" production control
provision become law. Eastern

would be a thing of the past. Most
of Eastern North Carolina's broiler
emphasis has come in the past five

years .

that public hearings aji the subject
can be held during the week of
September 4.
