Eggs are selling at 25 cents a dozen
both in Portland and Hood River The
keeps two or three cents in advance of
the Portland wholesale price, therefore
we may expect to pay 80 cents a dozen
before Thanksgiving. With the low
price of wheat nowadays there ought to
be some profit in chickens if they can be
induced to lay, but the delusive hen can
not always be counted on when her
work is needed.
