Activity.
There la a possibility that the
Seaboard Fanners Mutual Exchange
operating In this section, will be
united soon with the State Mutual
In order to broaden the activity and
Increase the Held of the farm organ
isation.
The Seaboard Exchange is for the
advancement of production and sale
of poultry and eggs in the seven
farm counties between Monroe and
Rutherfordton. B. Austell, Cleveland
collnty poultryman, is the head of
the organization. Mr. Austell and
George Wolfe, president of the
Cleveland County Poultry Assocla
tion, were In Charlotte last week U
attend a meeting which was con
sidered the consolidation of the twc
groups.
Another Meeting.
The meeting last week was not
attended by enough directors of the
Seaboard Exchange to take definite
action and another meeting Is to be
held in Charlotte Saturday of thfc
week.
Mr. Austell feels that if the ex
change in this section becomes af
filiated with the State Exchange 11
will result in a big boost for the
poultry business of the section. The
Seaboard Exchange has made a
number of shipments of poultry, but
affiliation with the larger organi
