Broiler Eating
Campaign Set
For Dec. 2-11
Georgia’s mammoth broiler in
dustry will be called to the at
tention of much of the nation
Dec. 2-11 when a campaign will
be conducted to promote the eat
ting of broilers and fryers.
John Mauldin, Agricultural Ex
tension Service poultry .market
ing specialist at Athens, said that
producers and processors in this
state now supply broilers to prac
tically every state in the nation,
and Georgia’s production of
122.000,000 birds per year is con
siderably higher than that of any
other state. These birds were
worth $94,000,000. Os Georgia’s
159 counties, 100 report commer
cial broiler enterprises.
Protection-of broilers contin
ues high in spite of recent drops
in prices,” Mauldin stated, "and
broilers should be a good buy m
grocery stores during the Deo.
2-11 campaign period.” He said
there were 20 million pounds of
broilers in cold storage in Octo
ber.
a s broiler growers, pro
cessors, and workers m- athed in
dustries make up one of the most
important segments of the state’s
economy, according so-the mar
keting specialist, and he suggested
that consumers can help boost
this important state enterprise
end at the same time purchase a
high-quality food product at a
reasonable price by buying broil
ers during the Dec. 2-11 period
