On the 24th of June County Agent Arrendale held the 12th co-operative sale in car lots in Macon county within the past two years. Before these co-operative sales were started, farmers took whatever they could get for their poultry. Now they receive the market price.
It is estimated that County Agent Arrendale has saved the farmers of the county at least $6,000 on these 12 cars. The last car carried 9,573 pounds of poultry out of the county and left $2,376.49 in the hands of the farmers in payment.

Poultry Sale
The next co-operative car load of poultry is to be loaded at Franklin on Wednesday, July 15th, and at Otto and Dillard early on the morning of July 16th. Get your poultry fat and hold it until the sale unless peddlers offer an extra good price. County Agent Arrendale plans to sell this car to go to a summer tourist section where the prices should be good. Tell your neighbors and do not forget the dates.
