Department of Agriculture Advises Farmers to Sell Hens Gradually
 After May 20.

The United States Department of Agriculture again advises farmers to sell their hens gradually and not to glut the market immediately after April 20. when the restriction against sale of hens is removed. Hens should be sold gradually. This will stabilize the market and bring better prices for them. It also will mean more eggs. Every laying hen at this season produces eggs at far less cost for feed than during the winter,
