Broilers Hit
Normal High
At Lancaster
LANCASTER The normal
seasonal broiler price high hit the
the Lancaster Poultry Exchange
Friday, when 230,700 broilers
averaged 23.60 cents a pound.
The highest price was 24 cents
a pound, paid to Enos Buckwal
ter, 2352 Old Philadelphia Pike,
Lancaster, for 3,500 White Rock
and White Cross cockerels. The
buyer was Daniel K, Good, R 1
Columbia.
m
Records of the Exchange show
that the yearly high is usually
reached at about this time. The
price has usually stayed steady
for a few weeks, and then starts
a steady gradual decline.
The bottom is usually reached
m September.
(However this- year's records
show that broiler prices, although
low, have been steadier than us
ual. The high is not so great
as other years, although it equals
the high of last year.
In the past six weeks, there
has been a variation of only
about a half a cent in the week
ly sale average.

ticular interest was Miller’s air

with regular airplane propeller.
It reached speeds of 50 miles per
hour on the river and everyone
had their turn for the trip to
ward Lewisburg and back._
