Plenty of eggs will be available
for Easter in Bluffton this year, and
prices will be about the same as last
spring, with quotations to farmers
now ranging from 80 to 81 cents
per dozen, and housewives buying
them from retail sources at 38 cents.
Demand is especially good because
of the usual Easter and Lent up
swing, plus a demand for Matching
eggs, but mild weather thruout
March and the first part of April
has assured a plentiful supply.
Prices thruout the Easter season
are expected to remain steady, with
little fluctuation in either direction.

Eggs For Easter Plentiful Here And
Price Holds Steady At 80 Cents Retail

Altho this years selling price is
about the same as in 1945, quota
tions are some 10 cents dozen
higher than in 1914 when an over
supply dropped the market to its
lowest level in recent years.
Steady demand for eggs here
indicates that wartime habits, when
the family ate more eggs to relieve
the meat shortage, have become a
part and parcel in home menus.
Eggs are a valuable source of
proteins, iron, and Vitamins A, B
and d. In addition they lend them
selves readily to many forms of
cooking skill.
