. Bulletin. Agriculture -- New Hampshire. June, 1926] CAN WE PRODUCE MORE OF WHAT WE EATi 19 furnishes an outlet for any surplus of local production over the demands of local markets that can be shipped in carload lots. Poultry producers feed considerable amounts of cabbage to chickens, and would probably use much larger quantities if they could obtain it at Boston wholesale prices. The number of poultry growers in New Hamp- shire has increased rapidly during the last few years, and they should furnish a market for at least the poorer quality of cabbage raised, making it necessary to sell only cabbage of the best quality to retail stores. Farmers in New Hampshire according to the U. S. Census produced 254 acres of cabbage in 1924. An increase of 39 acres to supply the entire deficiency of local production to meet local demand during the competing season for both early and late cabbage would therefore mean only a small addition to the total acreage. Any general expansion in production would soon necessitate shipping cabbage to outside markets at a lower price. It may be feasible for certain farmers, however, to grow cab- bage for shipment to outside markets. It must be remembered that this would bring our growers into direct DOLLARS PER BBL.
