Wholesale prices trended
lower, carton prices unchanged.
Values are deteriorating on
mediums, despite a supply that is
not burdensome, due to the close
proximity price wise with large.
Receipts are light to moderate.
Trading stocks of extra large and
large are burdensome and freely
offered without attracting much
uterest. Demand for mediums is
still fair to good but unaggressive
while smalls, inadequate supply
are in highly irregular demand.
Carton orders fair to good with
occasional feature activity noted
as low as 29 cents a dozen on
mediums.

DUNCAN CORN CRIB
Rods Slide Quickly Into Place
. . . Lock Panels Into Un
broken Cylinder Of
Galvanized Mesh!
NOW, you can own a per-’
manent, lifetime, all steel
mesh corn crib for less than
the cost of many temporary
cribs... have all the strength
and anti-rust characteristics
the galvanized mesh can have.
Using the Interlocking joint
panel connections you quickly
hook together and lock with
rods... creating an unbroken
cylinder of 2 or 5-gauge steel
mesh with the ability to stand
nressures and strains far in
excess of any which may be
put upon it under normal use.
The simple “J-bolt” method
of attaching the steep roof to
the mesh uses the inherent
strength of each to reinforce
the other. A generous 6 inches
of overhang has been provided
for greater protection. In
terlocking sheets of heavy
gauge metal give the “Rod-
Lok” Corn Crib roof strength

(Continued from Page 1)
Tangier 'lsland; conducted a
county queen contest culminating
in the selection of Miss Linda
Kaye Hess,* who was present at
the banquet; distributed 111,000
place mats promoting eggs to
restaurants throughout Lan
caster County, and increased
membership by 60 members.
Homer Bicksler, executive
director of the Pennsylvania
Poultry Federation, spoke
briefly, praising the work of the
Lancaster Association as by far
the best of any poultry
association in the state; he added
that good work is expected,
however, since the county group
represents 20 per cent of poultry s
production in the state.
Bicksler also noted that bills
are being considered both in
Washington and Harrisburg to
develop some type of farm
bargaining system. While the
present indication is that neither
of the present will be adopted in
their present form, some type of
bargaining legislation is ex
pected “sooner or later.”
On the cholesterol issue,
Bicksler said representatives of
some of die leading egg sales
firms informed him that sales
have dropped 10 per cent
following adverse publicity on
cholesterol. He reported that the
PENB is conducting a fund
raising drive to counteract the
adverse publicity; the Penn
sylvania Poultry Federation
contributed $1,500 and the
Trojan no untpy!
