Rasing his remarks on a report

clarcd.
The high rate Of egg produc-
ton coupled with large holdings
Of cold storage eggs and the fact
that consumer buying power IS
lower than q year ago have offset
the effect Of small laying flocks
uron the price Of eggs.
The outlook until mid-spring IS
for egg prices below those OF
1887. The bureau indicated, how
ever, that later in the year egg
production will be reduced as a
result Of the small llocks. After
that a gradual increase in prices
above the like period in 1887 may
occur.
As to the prospect for chicken
prices. Dcarstync said it is consid-
cred likely that the favorable feed
egg price ratio will tend to st!mu-
late hatchings this spring. There
fore, the outlook is for lower
chicken prices in the last half of
the year as compared with 1887.

HOME GARDENS
ARE TOO Few
Low Fruit Production One
Weak Spot in N. {.
Farm Lite ...

One Of the veal, points ol the
agricultural program of many
counties is the lack of home fruit
gardens. {. T. Williams, associate
horticulturist of the State college
experiment station, declared TO-
day.
With only a small! amount OF
planning, it is possible to have
fresh, home grown fruit almost
the year around, as we'll as Il pam
try filled with preserves, jams
and jellics. Williams said.
Generally fruit grown for home
consumption is superior "a that
bought in local stores because the
backyard fruit can be left until
it is fully ripe. Also moe teHd"r
varieties that win not stand up IN
the shipping process can be used.
One OF the fayorit@ home
fruits is the peach. TIE earliest
qualityp peach il Golden Jubilee
which ripens about the first OF
JUiv. This is followed in order
by Hi,cv. Georgia Belle. tJnnta
and Hale. Any O. these varieties
may DC grown successfully IN the
backyard.
The home garden should also
include such bunch @raD"i as
Moore's Early, Ontario, Niagara,
Delaware, Concord. Sheridan aud
Catawba. The Muscadine grapes
are not adapted to the mount@ins,
but in the east. ScUppcrnong,
Thomas, James and Memory are
suitable varieties, Williams OK
planned.
The home grower has Il large
choice from which 10 select his
apples. For early sorts, Williams
recommends Red June, Early Har-
vest, Yellow Transparent and
Horse. For fall use, Bonum, De
licious and Golden Delicious are
the most popular. Winter needs
can be supplied by Stayman. Red
Winesap and Black Twig.
Other fruits such as cherries,
plums, figs and pcrSimmoGs are
easily grown, the horticulturist
said, and should be used by more
families in balancing their diet
needs.
