MARKETING POULTRY CARCASSES 
One reason that the meat packers wanted the United States 
Inspection, is because it puts out of business the little fellow 
to whom the Government cannot afford to grant inspection. A 
few of the very largest poultry packers wouid like to see poul- 
try inspection for the same reason, but with the business so 
thoroughly scattered as to render Wovernment inspection so 
expensive as to be quite impracticabie, any such bill weuld 
certainly be killed in a congressional committee. 
Any practical means to bring about the cleanly handling, 
and to prevent the consumption of diseased poultry, should 
certainly be encouraged. This can be done by the edycation 
of the consumer. Poultry carcasses should be marketed with 
head and feet attached and the entrails undrawn. By this 
precaution the consumer may tell whether the fowl he is buy- 
ing is male or female, young or old, healthy or diseased. All 
cold storage poultry should be frozen and should be sold to 
the consumer in a frozen condition. 
I am not in favor of the detailed regulation of business by 
law, but I do believe that the legal enforcement of these last 
precautions would be a good thing.
