You Can't Eat Cake and Have 1t

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 27.-Ap-
probation of this fact, the poultry
specialists Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture say, will add
$50 100000 eggs to our food supply
this year without reducing our supply
of chicken meat. Investigators have
found that because poultry brings 2
cents Il pound iuoie II winter than in
late spring, many farmers in the
South have been throwing away val
liable egg profits just to get cents
more per hen. They believe that if
farmers will keep laying hens and sell
their eggs and then market the birds
in the late spring, they will not only
add to the food supply, but actually
increase their profits so cents per
hen.
