IN MARKETING
Some time ago, the directors of
the Poultry Producers’ Associa­
tion started working on a plan
through which the growers of
turkeys would, like the producers
of eggs, receive all the profits de­
rived from their sale, with the
exception of the actual cost of
putting their product on the mar­
ket. Their plan was to guarantee
the growers as much as any local
dealer would pay and after the
turkeys were sold and the cost of
handling deducted, return all the
excess profit to the growers. At
this time, we are pleased to an­
nounce that we are returning to
the growers 31190.56 excess pro­
fit on this shipment, which will
tnake the turkeys sold through
the Poultry Producers’ Associa­
tion net the growers, free of all
charges, 38c per pound net.
