STATE POULTRYMEN
GETTING LOW PRICES
[ContinHed from First Pase]

The average number of laying
hens left in farm fiocks on February
/ was about per cent greater than
on the same date late year but is
slightly below the 1930-34 average.
The present number of hens is not
considered excessive for production
of eggs under normal winter condi-
tions.
Egg production continued to show
the influence of mild weather in the
central and eastern portions of the
county. The total production of eggs
in farm fiocks on February l was
running 16 per cent greater than a
year ago and slightly above average.
The bulk of the increase this winter
is in the states east of the Mississi-
ppi River. In the west north central
states egg production on February /
was about the same as last year.
