Weekly Poultry Report
Eastern Pennsylvania
And New Jersey
WEEKLY SUMMARY
February 8, 1967
LIVE HENS
Prices for light hens were
unchanged. In instances, how
ever, where full condemnations
were reduced and producers
provided truck loading and
gathering services, prices in
eastern Pa sections ranged as
high as 7% cents on large vol
ume blocks. Movement light as
dealers and plants were severe
ly hampered by snow and
stalled traffic, particularly at
points in N J.
Interest for heavy hens fair.
Area offerings very light with
occasional flocks negotiated at
15% cents. Prices paid at farm
light hens 6-7 cents, mostly
6%-7, heavy hens, too few sales
to report.

Tobacco Research
Activities Reviewed
Research on ways to increase
the productivity of workers in
tobacco production and mar
keting was urged by the To
bacco Research Advisory Com
mittee of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agiicultuie at its re
cent annual meeting m Wash
ington, D. C.
The high labor requirements
in. the American tobacco in
dustiy reduce the competitive
position of American tobacco
in foreign markets and are
partly responsible for relative
ly low incomes for tobacco
workers and their families, the
committee said Equipment
and facilities should be de
veloped to enable the tobacco
woikeis to pioduce oi handle
more tobacco per hour, and
changes and short cuts should
be worked out that will reduce
or eliminate woik that is not
absolutely necessary
The committee also recom
mended continuation and ex
pansion of work to determine
how different factors affect to
bacco quality, including the
effects of production practices,
soils and fertilization, time of
planting, disease and pest con
trol, and ripening, curing, and
preparation for market.
Committee membeis said
they were pleased with US'DA
research on the physical and
chemical properties of tobac
co and smoke, and on the ag
ing and fermentation proces
ses m tobacco production This
research will provide informa
tion that will put the industry
in a position to remove or
neutralize any deleterious ma
terials or compounds that may
be identified and provide data
useful to the entire tobacco
industry.
There is a need to develop
objective ways to measure
some of the properties of to
bacco necessary to grading,
such as color, texture, elas
ticity, and ripeness, the com-
