Bloom also said that producers who are in the business to stay, that will produce a steady sup ply of birds over the year, will make a profit. He also believes that the gov ernment should stay out of the poultry business and let the mar ket find its own level. The promotion problem of the industry was also discussed “Skip” Weaver of Purina Mills said that most of the promotion now being done is from outside the industry. He said that more promotion for' poultry products is badly needed. Weaver also said “The poultry business is a sound basic indus try.” “But,” he added, “in order to stay in business in this highly competative business, the local feed dealer is going to have to provide service and he is going to have to sell. “The dealer should, not compro mise too much with his custo mers. He must earn the right to sell.” James E Dorsey of Indian Riv er showed slides of the Indian River research program after the discussion. This type of dinner-discussion is one of 11 held throughout the country. Approximately 150 poultrymen, feed dealers and poultry process ors attended the Lancaster meet ing.
