REPORT OF THE SCOTTISH COMMISSION 



one year at least ; to allow the Federation fourteen days' credit 

 for payment of accounts ; to furnish to the Federation returns of 

 all stock, and undertake to test, grade, pack, and (if necessary) 

 stamp all eggs in accordance with instructions ; and to dispatch 

 all eggs promptly as ordered by the Federation, and advise the 

 Federation immediately of their consignments. 



When the Department's scheme of technical education has 

 been developed, and all the Poultry Societies have joined the 

 Federation, it is certain that Ireland will make an enormous 

 advance in the development of the poultry industry. Then, the 

 great markets of the sister countries will be largely supplied from 

 Ireland. To-day, we in Scotland cannot successfully compete in 

 the poultry market with a country so perfectly organised as 

 Denmark. To-morrow, it will be equally difficult for us to com- 

 pete with Ireland. Our only hope is to adopt the co-operative 

 methods of our rivals and fight them with their own weapons.
