FINE POULTRY RECORD MADE
Satisfactory Results Reported From
Number of Co-operative Ship-
ments in Arkansas.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
The Poinsett county (Ark.) agricul-
tural agent and home-demonstration
agent report satisfactory results from
a number of co-operative shipments
of chickens maiketed by farm women
during the early summer. Shippers
listed their poultry In the same man-
ner as is employed where hogs or cat-
tle are shipped co-operatively, using
Monday as shipping day. All thg poul-
try was shipped by express from 60
to 280 miles to the Memphis and St.
Louis markets.
A total of 1,578 pounds of poultry
was loaded at the shipping point in
July; the total weight at destination
was 1,411 pounds, the aggregate
shrinkage in transit amounting to 162
pounds, or an average of 10.3 per cent.
The cost of marketing, including ex-
press, commissions, coop expenses, etc.,
but not Inclusive of shrinkage, was 4.4
cents a pound, while the cost of mar-
keting a pound, including the drift
over the railroad was: Hens, 7.5 cents;
cocks, 6.8 cents; and springers, 8.5
cents.
The total gross sales amounted to
$421.07, which left a net return to the
shippers of $352.36 after the shipping
expenses of $68.71 were deducted. The
market value of this entire shipment
on the local market was only $268.89,
so that the net gain through co-oper-
ative marketing aggregated $89.47, or
a total of 84 per cent. Twenty-one
shippers participated.
