The slump In Eaas

A week ago the farmer or COM
mercial egg producer that brought
his eggs TO the Phoenix market, was
knocked flat with the announcement
that eggs were Is cents dozen. The
price in other towns of the Salt
River Valley had dropped even more.
In fact it is claimed that the big drop
started in one of the smaller towns
and Phoenix dealers were compelled
to follow. That is not particularly
important as compared to the effect
of the drop. Dealers in poultry were
at once flooded with hens thrown on
the market and urged and entreated
to take more than could be possibly
handled by local dealers. The situa-
ton was-and is discouraging.
Farmers keep poultry for the prof
it that there is in the business and
not for fun, or for the sake of con-
tributing to the profits OF dealers or
for the purpose of furnishing most
excellent food to consumers. Poultry
keeping is a business. and must re-
turn a profit to the producer. or the
producer must inevitably quit.
This drop in egg prices. following
as 1t has a period which has been
fairly profitable to some producers,
at time when it had appeared that
the poultry industry was becoming
more and more an important n
dustry OF the salt River Valley, when
more people were looking with favor
on the old hen, when many farmers
had found that their poultry side
line had tided them over the depres-
ion Of the cotton trouble, was a di-
stinct shock.
The drop in eggs came little
earlier this year. and was possibly
a little more abrupt, but it was the
same thing that has happened every
year since there were chickens in the
Salt River Valley. and viii continue
to happen to some extent as long as
the world stands probably. for It is
natural for hens to lay in the spring
of the year. when other birds lay.
The domestic hen mas been br for
centuries for special purposes, chief
of which is the production of eggs.
She is a long ways in advance OF
her Jungle fowl ancestor, because in
each successive generation through
all the centuries of her progress she
has had man to provide food and
shelter. and by selection and breed
ing, certain types, standard and
characteristics have been built up
and bred in. Retrogression, however,
in man. beast and fowl is far more
rapid than is progress. Examples are
reported of children that have been
adopted by wild beasts, and in
few years the child reverts to an

enables the poultrymen to hold his
eggs to fill in later in the season
when these farm flocks that lay only
in the spring are going back to ma
ture and natures ways and resting.
Why Can't Every One Store EGGS?
=. If storing of eggs is profitable
for the big producer. why not with
every one? Why should this group
Of poultrymen that have stored sue
cessfully not take in more into their
group and form a big association
The reason is quite obvious. The
poultrymen that store eggs now
through their small association are
all experienced poultrymen that
have made study of producing eggs
that will stand up, that are eggs that
they can and do guarantee. To take
in eggs that are not up to the STAN
dard, would mean all loss because the
eggs would not come from the stor-
ago in a marketable condition. and a
stored egg that is not up to STAN
dard soon demoralizes the market
for stored eggs.
The Ego Market
No one knows just how many eggs
are shipped in to the state from out
side points. No one knows how
much poultry is raised in other states
to supply Arizona people. All agree
that the amount OF poultry and poul-
try products that is consumed in Ari-
IONA is many. many times greater
than the amount that is produced
here. There is no good reason why
the state as a whole should not
produce all that is consumed and
some for export as well. The ad-
vantages which We have as a poultry
producing state. particularly in such
sections as the Salt River Valley are
many, and we do not need to emu
merate them here at this time. What
is needed is to capitalize the advan-
tages and capture the markets that
are now being supplied from other
states. Even in the dun periods such
as the past year, the mining towns
which are our logical markets have
been supplied from California, Texas
and other states.
There was a time when the min
ing town dealers were Indifferent
about using Arizona products.
Thanks to the splendid work of the
Arizona Industrial Congress that
sentiment has changed to very
marked extent, and dealers and mine
managers are anxious TO have Ari-
zona products and will meet the pro-
ducers half way and more in obtain
ing those products.
What Must Be Done
A very frequent inquiry OF a Salt
River Valley poultryman who visits
some OF the towns in other parts of
the state whore eggs are being
shipped in from the outside is: why
don't you use Salt River Valley
Eggs?" and the answer is: Because
your eggs are no good. they won't
stand up. they are watery." Inquiry
usually develops the fact that eggs
have been shipped to those towns at
sometime that have been the sur
plus from grocery stores. These
grocery stores in turn had received
the supply OF eggs from the spring
laying fowls, with alfalfa range and
little else in the way of feed. In ad-

dition the male birds run with the
flock and the eggs are fertile. A
few days OF warm weather and these
eggs begin to incubate and become
unfit for human food. Storing such
eggs means an absolute loss.
Poultryman Can Help Himself
We do not necessarily have TO be
q commercial poultryman with
thousand birds in order to make a
profit. 1t is within the province of
every poultry keeper, whether he has
a few in the back yard of a city lot.
or range flock on a farm. to care
for his poultry and the eggs which
they produce in such way that he
will receive the maximum price. and
when the major part OF the eggs
produced are placed on the market
in the best possible condition. we
viii not again experience such a
marked drop in eggs as we. have had
in the past ten days, although we
VIII OF course always have more eggs
IN February, March, April and May
than in any other months OF the year
and consequently lower prices.
il each individual poultry keeper
will see to 1t that the rooster is
promptly swatted, so that infertile
fed a proper ration OF grain and
ground feed or mash so that the eggs
will have the proper quality: that
the eggs are gathered twice daily:
That clean nests are provided. and
that the eggs after being gathered
are kept In a cool place and mar
keted at least twice a week. such
producer will find that a ready
market awaits his product. Forum
ately there were a sufficient number
OF poultrymen, in the Salt River Val
ley to furnish the nucleus for
legitimate business in the storing Of
eggs. so that a few courageous deal
ers influenced by those who have the
best interests of the Salt River Val
ley at heart We're enabled to offer
better prices for eggs. and stop
temporarily at least the slump that
seemed so disastrous.
Eggs should bring the producer
more than 20 cents a dozen in order
to be profitable. 1t is absolutely GER
tain that II more producers were fol-
lowing the approved methods OF
producing quality eggs that they
could stamp with their own individ-
ual stamp, that eggs could be sold
for at least 25 cents a dozen.
Grocerymen can help materially
by insisting on infertile eggs. from
properly fed fowls, and then go a step
farther and insist on having the eggs
graded. throwing out as seconds all
dirty, cracked. and small eggs.
These are the steps that must be
taken TO insure success to the poul-
try business. Steps that viii mean
profit to all in the business. and
profit is what people are In the
business for.

PEORIA CHILDREN
PRESENT PLAYLET

PEORIA, Feb. 25.-One of the most
pleasing home talent entertainments
ever given in Peoria was presented
last evening at the grammar school
auditorium in a little play entitled,
'The Good Fairy Thrift" The play
was presented by representative
children from each grade and inter-
spersed throughout the play were
several choruses that added much to
the enjoyment of the evening. The
play was presented under the direct
orship of Mrs. G. V. futile and other
ladies' on the committee from the
Peoria Woman's club.
The Peoria orchestra furnished the
music for evening and a capacity
house filled the auditorium. A small
admission fee was charged and from
this the sum of $45 was realized
which will be used TO provide atm
letic equipment for the grammar
school.
Open Bids
The Peoria district school board
met in executive session yesterday
afternoon and opened and considered
bids that had been submitted by five

essential if we would get from them
the best service possible.
Hens that have had Indifferent
care through the winter, that have
been compelled to roost in trees or
drafty houses, or have had but
little attention in the way OF feed,
have been drifting back to nature.
and now when spring time comes
they run true TO form and like their
ancestors of the jungle. they lay
their clutch of eggs. These eggs are
brought to the groceries in dozens
and by the crate till the groceryman
is swamped and the price drops. 1t
is the same old story.
What Some Are Doing
Throughout the Salt River Valley
there are hundreds of real poultry
men, that are making business Of
keeping chickens. Poultry with them
is not a side line. but a livelihood.
There are many farmers to Whom
poultry raising is side line. put an
important one, and is given the at
tention which any business deserves.
These poultrymen are getting re-
suits. They are moking money from
their flocks. Poultry handled ac-
cording to the best known methods
whether as a strictly commercial
proposition or as a side line on
farm, Is profitable because there is
a. steady production throughout the
year. Not necessarily as many eggs
in winter as in the spring, because
that happy result has not yet been
attained. but some eggs throughout
each month of the year. 1t is gen.
erally recognized now that the high
producing hens lay during the cool
weather of winter and the hot days
of summer, and must produce during
those months in order to lay a
sufficient number Of eggs TO pay Tor
their feed and leave a margin OF
profit.
Some of these commercial poultry
men OF the Salt River Valley have
developed special markets for eggs
which they can and do guarantee.
During the spring of the year. hens
from these flocks speed up a little so
that there is even with the COM
mercial poultrymen a surplus. For the
past few years poultrymen have CO.
operated in storing this surplus. Stor-
ing serves a two-fold purpose. First II

has never heard so informing and in
