due to drop. This is the prediction Of
r. F. Hall, inspector of cold storage

ment
According to Hall, egg production
{ is on the increase and will thwart eff
forts of national storage concerns to
obtain control Of the market.
On Nov. 30 there were 953,700
dozens of eggs in Minnesota cold stor-
ago houses.
During the entire year ending Dec
/, a total of 367,N6,2s7 pounds Of
food passed through the cold storage
establishments. The increase in pro-
4 duction, according to Mr.. Hall, is due
primarily to cheap grain. Because Of
the small return on marketed grain
the farmers choose rather to feed the
poultry and stock larger quantities
than sell.
