* UA UNIQUE FARM, Melvina, 
T he village of 
Accord is the cen¬ 
ter of a successful poultry community 
in Ulster County, New York. It always 
was a progressive town. Two years 
ago they organized a cooperative feed 
house of their own. This year the 
association did a $150,000 business. It 
showed them that they could put across 
something big. 
During the last year or about a year 
ago, they were surprised to learn that 
only one other town in New York State 
surpassed them in the amount of eggs 
that were shipped out by rail. They 
then realized that they were a poultry 
community. 
The local poultry club broadened out 
and its members came from both ends 
of the Rondout Valley to attend the 
meetings. Not only did it have lectures 
by visiting specialists, but it intro¬ 
duced a round table discussion of 
troubles that they were experiencing. 
At first they were typical of any move¬ 
ment of that sort. They were ail ready 
to listen but no one was willing to 
admit that he never had any .troubles. 
Finally a few of the most progressive 
men broke the ice and then they became 
relieved to find that they all had some 
problems to contend with. 
Individual Selling Unsatisfactory 
At a meeting of the local poultry 
club last July the question was brought 
up, asking how many members en¬ 
joyed a premium over the top market 
quotation. There was an awful silence 
and finally a few of the braver mem¬ 
bers admitted that they formerly did, 
but recently they had found it rather 
difficult to obtain.' It soon became 
apparent that market conditions were 
similar to the status of the “old 
gray mare”—they ain’t like they 
use to be! From the discussion that 
followed it seemed that no one was 
entirely satisfied with his returns. A 
few years back it was compara¬ 
tively easy to take a train to New York 
and by visiting a few dealers to come 
back with an agreement that called for 
two or three cents over the top quota¬ 
tion. That time has passed, and the 
market that stands out as distinctly 
good is seldom held for any length of 
time. Either a competitor underbids 
your proposition or the steward is 
sugared. Then follows the usual run 
of letters to the effect that the quality 
of the eggs was poor, too many were 
being broken, and besides they were 
overstocked at the present, so would 
you kindly discontinue shipping until 
further notice? Yes, they had all had 
experience like that. 
Perhaps every community has some 
one who is capable of leadership and 
willing to shoulder the reponsibilities 
that come with it. Accord was ex¬ 
tremely fortunate to have such a per¬ 
son in Mr. Walter Voight. He was 
responsible for the undertaking of the 
grain cooperative idea. He carried it 
through the critical period and turned 
it over a complete success. As presi¬ 
dent of the local poultry club, he saw 
the possibilities of a cooperative 
marketing of eggs. The question was 
brought up . in August and the first 
pool of the newly formed Rondout 
Valley Poultry Association closed on 
the 16th of November. 
None of the marketing authorities 
approved of the idea. They all thought 
that cooperation to be successful must 
be absolutely necessary, and that the 
producers were too close to that great¬ 
est of egg markets—New Yoi'k. At 
any rate, a canvass of the attendance 
of one of the meetings showed that the 
majority were willing to sign contracts 
to send all their eggs to such an or¬ 
ganization for one year. From that 
time on, things moved rapidly. A good 
sized building was erected, where the 
eggs were to be graded, candled and 
packed. 
By CRAIG SANFORD 
In the contract that 
the members had signed 
it was stated that they were under obli¬ 
gation to tell of any pi'ivate market that 
they had formerly shipped to or of any 
house that they had heard were re¬ 
sponsible men. This rule was put into 
effect and the information was investi¬ 
gated with the result that several good 
small markets were secured. These 
helped to introduce the eggs inArarious 
quarters. In the meantime sample 
cases were shipped to different houses. 
A Product Equal to the Best 
It was not long before the dealers 
who handled the eggs from Accord 
learned that New York had light yolked 
eggs which were just as heavy and 
sound as the eggs from New Jersey. 
When they reached the retail market 
they were usually sold as Jersey eggs, 
since advertising has created a de¬ 
mand for the latter. The New York 
rnarket will pay a premium for the 
light yolked eggs and many New York 
poultrymen are feeding white corn- 
meal in place of yellow, and observ¬ 
ing other factors that influence pig¬ 
mentation. Vineland first acquired the 
reputation of having light yolked 
eggs. 
Gradually it became apparent that 
New York eggs had all the qualities 
that were hitherto thought only found 
Jersey eggs. The dealers were un¬ 
willing to drop what had now grown 
into value and were selling all their 
good nearbys for Jersey, eggs. They 
state that their eggs have light yolks, 
that they weigh up as heavy as any 
pack on the market and that the grad¬ 
ing is surpassed by none. The real 
test of the situation is that the eggs are 
shipped as such with instructions to 
return if unsatisfactory. They have 
never had a case returned. The eggs 
talked for themselves. 
In regard to the methods of as¬ 
sembling the eggs, all members who 
previously shipped from Accord bring 
their eggs directly to the cooperative. 
Collections are made by auto truck at 
points from which eggs would have 
been shipped if the cooperative had 
not existed. The new pool each week 
starts on Friday morning and closes 
the following Thursday night. Pay¬ 
ment for the eggs shipped that week 
IS due by Tuesday of the next week 
and checks for the members are mailed 
out the next day. 
Working Under Pressure 
_ At the present time, when the market 
IS glutted and the spring surplus is 
rolling in, the cooperative is selling 
most of its eggs at a premium and 
none below the quotation for that 
grade of eggs. They have now a staff 
of six people in the packing house. 
The first pool had only 28 cases, the 
last 223. 
The organization co.sts are only two 
cents a dozen. And as the organization 
is only five months old they will be put¬ 
ting through more efficient methods 
gained only by experience, and enable a 
surplus to be laid aside. Other costs, 
such as express and commission, bring 
the'total costs to about 3^/4 to 3 V 2 cents 
per dozen. The average shipper out¬ 
side of the organization has been re¬ 
ceiving several cents under the net 
price of the association. There seems 
to be no doubt around the section as to 
It is an organization 
which, as the opportunity presents 
itself, will enter into sidelines that are 
profitable.
