THE OUTLOOK or
THE POULTRY INDUSTRY

The outlook for the poultry indus
try at the present time IS very bright
indeed, though this Office realizes that
the next few months are going to be
crucial or rather moral test for COM
merciaI poultrymen It is going 20 be
hard for commercial poultrymen and
egg producers to adjust their business
TO the new scale Of lower prices,
i which is bound to come. We say.
bound 10 come" advisedly A num-
Der of acts or conditions which can
not be avoided are going to force
down the price of eggs. the principal
4 causes being an unusually warm winter
throughout the United States, which
has resulted in an exceedingly heavy
i winter production-the heaviest in
quite a number of years. The Eng
Iishuuite a number of years. The En-
glish market experienced a severe
I slump during the first few weeks in
January. This due, primarily to
lower prices being quoted by pro-
1 Queer of Denmark and Ireland, and the
fact that eggs from Egypt were begin
ming TO arrive in England during the
week Of January II. This naturally
will curtail domestic exports and have
an effect on the American market.
This slump in the foreign markets.
together with the fact that the total
receipts at New York; Chicago, Phila-
delphia. Boston and San Francisco for
week ending February 5th,were 224,
479 cases, so dozen to the case, as
compared with 1885 cases the same
time last year, an increase in weekly
receipts of 92,493 cases, which will
break any market. The heavy pro-
duction at this time, when very few
eggs under unual conditions are being
produced in the market in the north
and west. within itself is enough tc
force down the market throughout
the United States and naturally we
can look forward to a much lower
price for market eggs this year as com
. pared with last year. 1t is true, oul
storage holdings are considerably less
for the week ending February ), 1921
compared. with last year. On this
date last year in New York, Chicago
Philadelphia, Boston and San Francis
co there was a total of 150,983 cases
The same time this year there are il
these cities in storage only 14,76S
cases, showing a storage deficit al
compared with last year of 1925
This deficit in storage eggs should BIZ
large enough to warrant prices no
going as low as pre-war prices
However. one feature, and a yer.
important one, which poultrymel
should remember and take into con
sideration is that poultry feeds toda.
are 40 percent cheaper than they weru
one year ago Hence. if the com
i mercial poultTyman last year coul
produce and sell eggs at 80 cents
dozen and make profit at the e.
tremely high price Of feed, he ca
certainly produce eggs at 25 cents t
40 cents per dozen this year and shoy

The Texas outfit finished second, while Birmingham was third. Pen sacola was fourth, and several other teams were strung along the tail end of the standing with a few points to their credit.
 The victory of the Atlantans can be attributed to several things, chief among which are these: the possession of two or three stars of high caliber, and consistency of the whole team.
 Miss Ashe Breaks Record
 Four new records were set in yes terday's events. In the ladies 50- yard swim, Miss Virginia Ashe of Atlanta broke the southern record by negotiating the distance in 34 seconds flat. The former record was 37 seconds.
 Miss Ashe, swimming in the ladies' 200yard national event, surpassed the southern record when she swan the hundred in 1:21 2-5. but the event was national, so the record doesn't stand, Miss Ashes showing was lit tie short of sensational, and it was partly through her efforts that At lanta copped the meet,
 Specr's Great Work
 In the 50yard senior event, c. C. Speer of Atlanta, crashed the old record of 26 2-5 seconds, when he swan the 50 in 26 1-5. He was closely followed by Ava Allen of the Birmingham A. c.
 Speer's best work was in the 100-' yard senior final, when he left d field composed of Jarvis, Dominigues and other stars. swimming through to a victory in o9 2-5 seconds
 The third record to be broken in yesterdays met was in the 100-yard breast stroke event. when Miller of Dallas, barely defeated Wiley Me pougal of the B. A. C.. winning by a scant inch or two. Miller negotiated the course in 1:32, which was two seconds better than the old record of 1:34.
 This race was q thriller from start to finish, and the winner was ia doubt actually until the judges an nounced to whom had been awarded the verdict If McDouga had reached ahead and touched the fin ishing line instead of taking his last stroke, he would have been the victor by few inches instead of Miller.
 In the senior mile swim. Jarvis ran away from the field, finishing ahead of Ferdie Levy and Cureton the idtter or Atlanta. AS It was the first senior mile swim ever to- be staged at a Southern A. Al U. meet. the time of 27:55 4-5 stands as the southern record until someone sur passes the mark.
 National Events
 Two national events were staged at East Lake yesterday The 100- yard national swim for ladies wa ? won by Miss Ashe of Atlanta sas stated above, while the 220-yard national swim for men was won by
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-08-14

Lee Jarvis of Dallas. Louis Domini- gues, his team mate, followed Jarvis, while Hatcher of Atlanta was third, The time for this event was 2;50 flat.
 Fancy Diving Gillie Chisholm of the E. A, c. bare ly nosed out Hugh Grove of Dalins in the senior fancy diving event. Both divers gave a wonderful exhibit ton, but Chisholm's was perhaps the bit more consistent so the judges awarded him the championship.
 Grove held the title last year.
 Covode of Tampa deserves most honorable mention for his work in the divirg. Covode is only a young ster, perhaps 12 or IS years old, but that he could finish ahead of Hart ney, Atlanta, who has held the senior diving championship once,s is very much to his credit.
 One, who ought to know what he's talking about, stated thAt if Coyode Isn't national diving champion in another five years it will be the greatest surprise of his life It is certain that the Tampa youngster possesses lots of form. Brewton. the little diver from Montgomery who did so we'll Friday, was sick yesterday and couldn't perform. Summary:

DECLINE IN PRICES OF PRO-
DUCTS OUT OF PROPORTION
TO OTHER THINGS

Points From Sec'y WalIace's State
ment
We are the best producers in th,
world, but our sales system is yer,
bad, indeed. We must study every
thing which influences both produc
tion and price.
| 1t is terrible indictment of oul
modern civilization when this great
country is in the period of what al
most might be called economic chaos
because of our great surplus feed
supply, while across the seas, in both
directions, almost half the world is
suffering for want of food.
1t is time for every man who can
help to take hold. AS in the days
when we dragged our fire engines by
hand to the scene of the fire and
every good citizen rushed out and
took hold of the long rope and did
his bit, SO we must do now.
We cannot hope to reach normal
conditions until we arrive on price
level which will be fair to all our peo-
pie and all products. Farm products
must come up in price and other pro-
ducts come down until the normal re-
alton between them has been restor-
