NO PROGRESS

He showed the poultiymen
an array of new egg products
which included liquid-frozen
packs, egg nog instant cus

whites, chopped eggs, dned
eggs, and frozen bam and
cheese omelets
These are the sort of prod
ucts the consumer wants, Mit
chell stated, but he pointed
out that ‘ new egg products
have a long expensive route
ahead before they will be mar
keted in quantity With proper
promotion and development
they can help pu* the egg busi

OUTSIDE CO3LPETITION
A considerable amount of
controversy was aroused among'
tie poultrymen when Earl
Hess. Hess Bros Farms Inc.
Ephrata, advised them that
egg producers and processors
in the southeast were a direct
menace to their traditional
eastern markets
He described promotion,
organizational structure, and
interregional coordination as
the tools which are being
used so effectively by. the
poultry industry in that rela
tively new production area.
“■People in this state (Penn
sylvania) seem to think noth
ing of promotion Some of the
southern states have manda
tory 1 and 2 cent per case
check-offs to get promotion
money,” Hess stated “This
money will come back to haunt
us right in our own markets,”
he promised
Hess added that volume and
lower costs in the southern
areas enabled marketing agen
cies there to handle eggs more
economically than can be done
in Penns: Ivama
But we’ve got one thing go
ing for uj m tms space age
Hess said like a “halo en
circling our industry’
“Food is still basic and
there can be no progress with
out it ’ he stated But he
added change is the basis of
all progress, and advised,
“we’re going to have to make
many changes in oui thinking
and in oui way of doing busi
ness”
EGG BREAKING
Arthur Lehman, Victor F
Weaver, Inc, discussed the
egg breaking market as a pos
sible outlet producers should
consider
He outlined three possible
programs for egg producers
1 - Lay birds for 16 periods
(28 days each) sell shell eggs
for 13 of those periods, and
ship to the bleaker for the
last three
2 - Lay birds for 12 periods,
molt them, and then bring
them back into production for
the breaking market for a
varying period oi time.
3 - Lay birds for 12 months,
then repia.e the dock
In the question period,
producers strongly expressed
the opinion that if they could
tome close to producing eggs
at the same costs of south
ern producers, they could
compete.
In summ.ng up Sauder
stated that Producers and
processors here in a won
aerful location— right next

Baylor suggested that with
