retailing in many cities in Ohio at 55
cents per dozen. During much of the
winter they were selling at 40 cents
or higher. These prices almost pro-
hibited the use of eggs as an art
of food, and caused many custom
to jump at the conclusion that there
was easy money in egg production.
Careful inquiry among a number OF
farmers would seem to indicate that
not to exceed per cent of the hens
were laying at all during these
months of high prices, and that, had
the producer received for his product
the price paid by the consumer, he
would still in many cases have been a
loser. Certain farms reporting to the
Ohio Experiment Station at Wooster
show an egg cost of from Z to IL
cents each for the month Of January.
This does not argue that poultry on
these farms is improbable as whole,
for the entire year would have to be
considered before arriving at a con-
clusion regarding this; whereas, no
data are as yet available for consid'
Grafton in this connection.
