TO STOP LOSS OF 10000, 900
EGGS

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 14.-Over
| 15O,0OO,000 eggs will be lost to the
food supply of the United States If
the old practice of sending hens to
market at this season is continued.
Figures compiled by the poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of agriculture show what more
than 100000 laying hens, each cap
able of producing 80 eggs, are sent
to market from the Southern States
in the winter and early spring.
Every effort, therefore, is being
made to encourage farmers to keep
their hens until after the spring lay
ing season, thereby getting divi-
dend for keeping the hen through the
winter. The specialists point out
that when a hen is sold for meat early
in the spring, the farmer gets no egg
return for feeding and keeping her
through the worst months of the
year.
Moreover, the hen is marketable
as poultry after she has produced her
spring eggs Poultry in May may
bring 2 cents pound less than it
does in February, but, they point out,
the 80 eggs produced by the hen,
largely from wastes, more than off
set any reduction in the price offered
for live poultry.
An energetic egg-saving campaign
to prevent early slaughter of the hen
that "lays the golden egg" is now
being conducted throughout the
Southern States. North of the Ohio
River, farmers have long appreciated
the advantage of getting the spring
crop of eggs and marketing their hens
after the laying season or in the fall.
They believe that adoption of this
plan by southern chicken raisers will
be profitable and will materially add
to the food supply of the Nation.
