New Poultry Inspection Rules Take Effect May First
Beginning January 1, 1959, interstate poultry shipments must be inspected for wholesomeness under the Poultry Products Inspection Act. The USDA expects the service to be available to early applicants, with over 330 plants already using the existing voluntary program. All plants must meet strict sanitary standards, and the inspection mark will assure customers of cleanliness. Farmers plan ahead, and the Farm Service Department at Peoples Bank invites confidential discussions of financial plans, with extended evening hours on Thursdays and Fridays.
