New Ulm is rapidly becoming one
of the most important egg and poultry
centers in Minnesota and by the end
Of the year will have shipped the enor-
nous total Of 100000 dozen eggs
and 100000 pounds sf dressed poultry
to the leading markets Of east and
west, according to the present reports
of commission men. As much busi-
ness has been done in nine months
this year as during the IL months
of 1921, commission men assert.
Offer Good Income.
Year by year farmers and city folks
as well are raising more poultry and
selling more eggs, dealers report. This
situation is attributed to the fact that
eggs and poultry offer a good consistent
form of income. While it is true that
the price this year has not been up
to that of last, dealers assert that the
larger amount of eggs and poultry
sold by the producers will more than
make up for the decline.
MANY farmers are more than pay
ing for their groceries and dry goods
with eggs,' Charles H. Stuebe of
Stuebe Bros, asserted. I'VE have
customers who are bringing in three
and foui cases Of eggs a week. Poul-
try raising is not confined to farmers
for city folks, too, are realizing the
value ia flock of chickens"
Poultry Beats Grain.
Farmers are making more money
out Of eggs, poultry and cream than
grain," Mrs. Ida Ozias, secretary for
Stork Bros, explained. while the
price now Of 30 cents for eggs and Is
cents for poultry is not up to last
year, nevertheless, the greater extent
Of the business will bring in as much
to the producers
New Ulm eggs and poultry are
shipped to New York, Chicago, Phi
ladelphia and other large eastern
markets. There are poultry shipments
made to California where the residents
desire Minnesota Plymouth Rocks,
| Wyandottes and Brahmas foe eating
purposes in place Of the smaller Leg
horns which flood the country.
! Expert Market May Open. -ss
Chances are favorable that the ex-
port market for poultry will again
open,s affording better price locally,
dealers reported. Already South
America and Australia are exporting
poultry, some of it reaching this
country, and it is felt that the United
States should not lose any time in
getting into the game.
Dealers warned that the price Of
Of poultry now was better than it
would be after the first snowfall
Many producers keep their chickens
until after the snow is on the ground,
they explained, with the result that
the rush at that time forces down tbs
