THE CALL OF THE HOME
(By Miles Cannon, Director of Farm
Economics, U. S. Bureau of
Reclamation


IN a former article we mentioned
the poultry industry and discussed
the fact that the consuming public
was willing and anxious to purchase
spring frys every day in the year,
even at prices, served on the table,
ranging from seventy!five cents to a
dollar and half per half-chicken and,
it would seem, the higher the price,
the smaller the chicken.
1t has been suggested heretofore
that eggs should be fresh and stand
ardized and in this connection we
here reproduce the observations OF
Mr.. R. E. Shepard, of Jerome, Idaho,
the very efficient General Manager of
the North Side Twin Falls project:
Having found that the egg crop
of Idaho for 1922 exceeded in mar
ket value the wheat crop of the
same year even at the then pre-
vailing prices for eggs, began to
study somewhat into the poultry
situation. 1t seems no trick at all
to stir up the animals and elect
l never heard anybody elect get
ting very excited over hens eggs,
and yet when it comes to dollars
and cents they are of more i'm
portance.
"On given day several weeks
back eggs were selling in Jer-
ONE for 13c a dozen. That is
what the farmer got for good
fresh eggs. On the same day
they were selling at wholesale at
Los Angeles at something over
30c, depending upon the quality.
This seemed like a very wide
spread. | got our creamery here
to buy 20 cases of eggs that day
from the farmers, and pay them
lie a dozen, and they were ship
ped to Los Angeles along with a
carload of butter. The eggs were
indifferently packed, but at that
they sold on the Los Angeles mar
ket making a net return to the
creamery of 25c dozen.
"a study of the game revealed
the fact that had we been in the
business a little stronger and
known how to classify eggs and
had packed them according to
market requirements, we could un-
doubtedly have received net re-
turn Of about CSC. This set me
going, and | found that II would
be no trick at all to increase the
farmers income from his poultry
by from 25 to 1907.
Take this poultry game and
put 1t another way found you
could ship a dollars worth OF
eggs to Los Angeles for about
3lkc a dollars worth of wheat to
the same point at about 6Oc, and
a dollars worth of butter at about
&C."
In view of the fact that New York
City alone will take in a week all the
eggs that any western state is at this
time shipping in year. the idea that
Mr.. Shepard presents is very interest
ing. II We are unable to beat freight
rates on commodities, the thing to do
Is to find a way to avoid this extra.
ordinary feature in our development
by a system OF condensation, stand
ardbzation and distribution. With
the lead Mr.. Shepard has given us
we will go into this question more in
detail In our next article.
