From Where We Stand ~.
Farewell To An Era
For the Lancaster County Poultry
Association one era will end with the
coming of July this year - , and a new
one will begin. At that time the Poultry
Center which has been the home of the
association for so long will be turned
over to it's new owner.
Since the Poultry Association lost
its chief source of income with the
demise of the poultry auction last year,
and could find no suitable substitute,
there was little need for maintaining
such elaborate facilities. It was therefore
decided to sell the building It was also
decided at that time to donate 75 per
cent of the net return from the sale to
the Farm & Home Foundation Fund.
In recent years, active membership
in the Lancaster County Poultry Asso
ciation has dwindled to less than 100
members This strikes us as udiculous in
a county with nearly 3000 farmers deriv
ing a portion of their income from
poultry, and producing a total value in
1964 of nearly $27 million from the
sale of eggs and meat Farmers so often
comp l am, and rightfully so, that they
are not adequately represented either
politically or economically and yet
they have a trade organization right at
their fingertips designed for the primary
purpose of representing them and they
don’t support it! How do you figure it?
The county association is a long
way from being dead, however. It has
a hard core of dedicated, well-informed
members who recognize the need for
such an association and are willing to
hang on until the rest of their neigh
bors, Who depend on poultry for an in
come, wake up to the need for just
such an organization to represent their
shrinking numbers.
What can a county poultry asso
ciation do for you? It can do pretty
much whatever you want it to do, if
you will support it. It can provide a
rallying point for, social, educational,
■and. business and is your
immediate link with the state organiza
tion. Supporting the association doesn’t
just mean making a dues contribution
of a couple of dollars each year. It
means getting out to the meetings, and
helping to get your neighbors out; it
means working on committees if you are
needed; it means helping to give the
organization real goals and direction
■and then helping it to achieve that func
tion Like the old phrase says “you
get out of something only what you
put into it” Not enough of the poultry
men in the county have been putting
any energy into the Poultry Association
In this new era upcoming the as
sociation has an opportunity to grow
with your help. There are few success
ful large businesses that would consider
operating without an effective trade or-
