‘Jr ltdofillllvray presiding. Two acac- ‘imEwei-e held, one in the morning, dholeoond in the afternoon. The, former session was occupied mslnlyi by the presentation of reports from [the secretary Mr. Jas, mgnuw, auditor Mr. Vernon lnngworth and Jrtanlam‘ Mr. Georfle Ielghtiner.

‘Fin ‘Jalmes and Murley who [moved andvseconded its adoption. ‘__ ‘At the afternoon session some very interestin and informative discus- galons took place on various problems xln connection with the industry. . Mr. Rosa from, Ulgg, suggested that the Egg and Poultry Associa- vtlon does not take the interest in ‘V dressed poultry that it might. Some Clubs paid as much as 31c. , It was stated by Mr. Richard Mur- lcy that most clubs did not pay any- thing like that figure and in case of the (Io-operative the commission is not included. ‘

Mr. Elmer Belts contrasted the prlccs received for turkeys sold tn the association with those of another business firm.

Mr. Jae. Ieightlzer cited the case of Mr. Warren Dawson, who sold '72 chickens for which he received 32c per 1b., a total of $142.

1 Mr. lei thought the shipping of dressed poultry should be more an- coursged.

Mr. Jas. Lelghtiur explained that

"We have faith in Mr. Lelghtlzcr to handle our eggs, we should also have faith in him to handle our poultry?" one member asked.

A delegate made a plea to hear from the managers. To hear from them is to hear from the whole country. The value of co-operntlon is

fundoubtcd, as was evidenced by the

work done many years ago by cheese factories and in later times by the Egg and Poultry Association. There W85 a time before grading began when 8c pcr dozen was the price.

A director felt that it would not be well for an individual to ship his produce as an individual through the central agency.

Elmsdale has a central killing sta- tion, a member from that vicinity said. In this way higher freight rates on live poultry is avoided. The poul- try was sold by tender, but the ecli- lng will be done in the future, prob- ably, by the Association. .

Mr. Johnston thought the key to the situation lies in getting a per- son to handle the poultry in the same way as the eggs are dealt with. Would it not be to the interest. of the association w have a cen- tral killing station?

take place. This fact he blamed on the mail system, as it took two and a half days for the announcement to reach its destination. Many ap- plications for demonstration came in too late, after June 15. It would seem that the demonstrations are not npprcciutcd, as the attendance is very poor. Last year the work was not wotth whilc. The explanation of there not being enough crates ship- ped to Murray Harbour lies in the fact that 1,200 birds had been guar- antccd while 2,000 were brought to thc station. The remaining B00 had to be shipped in their own crates. 'I‘hc bird in demand to-day is a six or seven pound bird, well fattened, not large, bony birds, absolutely un- finished. At the poultry show was exhibited crates of poultry. The first prize birds were fat_though the sec- ond prize crate appeared the bet- tcr, but were bony and brings 2c to 3c less than the other. The mar- ket also demands a white fattad bird. Milk-fed birds have white fat. One of the reasonsfor yellow fat is the including of yellow corn meal in the rations. '_I'wo weeks fattening is not enough to change the colour of com- fcd chickens. If cornmeal is left out 3c to 4c gain will accrue. The cen- tral killing station ~ is not every workable idea, unless several circles co-opcmted to get; a man to do the work. 1t is necessary to better tho quality, although the Msritimes are in a posttlon, through the excellent stock placed onYmarket, to contend with the quantity produced by. the western provinces. - V A question which rises in arm's mind, a member thought, is- why there is a demand for demonstrr, tfens. yet such a poor attendance at these uiestinssv ' ‘ ' ‘Mr-Jinnah! oritnnllnston . lbs
