means fewer hens ON farms this fall
than last
3. Egg production for July was de-
cidedly lower than July 1929, and
the heat was responsible for lar
ger number Of poor quality eggs.
Prices of storage eggs increased &c
per dozen during July for fall de-
livery.
4. On account of the large surplus
of eggs in cold storage moderate
seasonal increases in price of eggs
can be expected this fall, but prices
are not likely to be as high as last
fall.
S. Prices after January l, 1881 can
be expected to increase considerably
over the first half of 1880.
6. Following a year of low prices
flocks are usually reduced too great
ly just as they are increased too
greatly following a year of high
prices.
AS a suggestion, keep about the
usual number of good early hatched
pullets, Gull the old hens closely and
do a good job of feeding and caring
for the birds and the poultry flock
will be profitable.

anchor was cast, hooks were baited
and made ready. Then came a chal-

that the one making the first catch
was to be known as the best fisher
man. Well, the challenger happened
to hook the first fish. At the end of
three hours about one hundred and
ten pounds of crOakers, one founder
and two very large sharks and a
smaller one were caught. Oh, sure,
some of the large fish slipped off the
hook. Some one has said that some
fishermen are liars, but not all liars
are fishermen. Think it over.
