Col. Biddle worked with the

Mrs. Biddle were married in
Frankfort, Germany. in July,
1916, Mrs. Biddle organized the

third of the people living here
have affiliations outside the Dis

The association does favor the
District having representation in
Congress, however, he said.
In another action, the group
adopted a resolution opposing an
increase in the minimum wage
from 40 cents an hour to IS cents,
as proposed IN a bill now before
Congress. The group said it ia

of marketing to demand. Here two
factors are involved production
planning on the farm, and regu-
lating marketing of the processed
product to avoid market gluts.
When marketings exceed demand
at profitable prices, prices fall
seriously, frequently more than the
surplus warrants. When supplies
are short relative to demand, prices
go up out of reason. No one group
in the industry can be blamed for
this situation The industry will
probably never be able to eliminate
these ups and downs completely,
certainly as concerns production,
but much can be done to stabilize
prices by gearing the movement
into channels according to demand,
So long as our only facilities are
those for preparing ice-packed
birds, the problem of widely fiuc-
tuating prices will be with us. What
we need are facilities for freezing
storing. eviscerating, and packag-
ing in various ways. We need these
facilities to take advantage of all
market outlets. and to open up new
markets. Market demands are

average weight of hens sold has al
so increased during the last few
years, but the increase has been
negligible. Hence, the average for
the last 5'years, or 81 pounds, was
used.
Egg Consumption Considered
Now, two other assumptions mad
to be made before there could be
any estimate of the amount of farm
poultry meat available in the fu-
ture. The first was as to the prob
able consumption of eggs in the
coming years The average prewar
per- capita consumption of eggs was
298. In 194S, an estimated 1882 eggs
per capita were consumed. During
the last 5 years the average con-
sumption was about 375. For many
years a goal of 365 eggs-"an egg
day7-has been accepted as nu-
tritionally desirable. This level
was greatly exceeded during the
war and has been consistently ex-
ceeded since, owing largely to the
shortage of red meats! But as the
supply of red meats increases, the
per capita consumption of eggs is
| likely to decrease. Therefore, as a
reasonable level of egg consump-
tion in the next 10 years, the old
goal of 365 eggs per capita was
used in the study
i The second assumption was as
to the future per capita consump-
tion of chicken meat. The pre-wa1
average was about 17.9 pounds. Tn
194S it was about 22.5 pounds
which was low compared with the
previous 5-year average of 25.l
pounds, owing to a very short croI
of farm chickens. For the purpose.
of the PIMA study, a consumption
of % pounds per capita was as
sumed.
These facts provide a basis fo
estimating the probable production
of farm chicken meat 10 years from
!, now. From this estimate we cal
! compute the number of broiler
4. necessarily to give any desired lev
: ell of poultry meat consumption
l in this case, % pounds per capita.
: In 1886, when the broiler indus
: try was small, only per cent G
the poultry meat consumed cam
b from commercial broilers, so pc
: cent came from young farm chick
= ems, and "A per cent from hens.
1947, IL .years later, broilers ha
r increased to % per cent, wheres
Milford chronicle., 1949-05-06

young farm chickens had fallen to
3S per cent and hens to 40 percent.
The important point is that COM
broilers have about made
up for the reduced output of young
farm chickens. In other words,
consumption of all young chickens,
including broilers, has not increas-
ed materially in relation to hen
consumption. But tbs percentage
of broiler consumption to total
poultry consumption has increased
very substantially.
Proportion of BrOiIers Expected
10 Increase
If we extended these lines, based
on the results of the study, to 1860.
we might expect that Al per cent of
the poultry meat consumption
would be from broilers, and only
% per cent from young farm chick
ems and 81 per cent from hens. The
slope of the line representing total
young chickens between 1896 and
194S is similar to the slope of the
line for later years, although ii
shows a considerably smaller per-
centage of total young chickens,
This can be accounted for by the
very large production of eggs, a
substantial number of which were
being purchased by the Govern
ment for lend-lease and support
Operations beginning in 1910.
In time, producers in any section
are sure to be faced with eyer-in-
creasing competition from Other
production areas. Whether produc
ers in certain localities survive de
pends on the leadership in certain
+ essentials.
The first essential is the gearing
Milford chronicle., 1949-05-06

growth. 1t is not unlikely that the
rate of increase will slow down to
something in the neighborhood of
a million q year. This is the rate
used in the study.
Another important factor consid-
cred in the PIMA study is the ratio
of hens to pullets in laying fiocks.
1t has been demonstrated that ALL
pullet fiocks are more profitable
than mixed pullet-hen fiocks. On
January 1, 1885, 60 per cent of the
layers on farms we're pullets; the
rest were hens. Thirteen years
later, on January 1, 194S, the per-
centage of pullets had increased to
67-nearly half bird a year.
Naturally, as the ratio of pull
lets to hens increases, a relatively
larger number of chickens must be
raised, because more birds are
needed for flock replacement. This
will mean more chicken meat from
farm production. But this increase
i is more than Offset by the other
/ factors tending to decrease farm
meat production. USDA production
specialists say that the ratio of pull
lets to hens will continue to in
+ crease. In this study it was assum-
ed that there would be an annual
increase in the percentages of pull
let's in the laying flock as of jan
uary / of four-tenths of / per cent.
4 Still another important factor
bearing on future broiler produc-
ton is the number of chickens that
must be raised before one pullet
can be added to, the laying flock
i The increase in the practice of sex
ing has reduced the number Oi
chickens that need to be raised t.
replace one pullet in the laying
flock. In 1881 it was necessary tC
T raise 81 chickens in order to place
! one pullet in the laying flock OF
January 1, 1882. In 1947, only o.
? chickens were needed. This rela
lively small decrease makes biz
r difference in the number of youni
: farm chickens available as meat
: There is no reason why this de
: crease should not continue for
) number of years. In the PIMA stu
4 dy, the downward trend was follow
;. ed until it reached 2.25.
Several other factors, althoug
less important, had to be consider
y ed in the study. First was mortal
s ity. For several years there ha
n been no pronounced trend, up G
down, in the mortality rate of farl
s chickens. So IT'S per cent, the rat
e during the last years, was used
: Another minor but necessary fa'
II tor was average live weight. TT
S. average live weight of young chicl
Ie ems sold from farms has increase
Ie slightly during the last II year
ID During the last 5 years the averal
A weight has been 3.6 pounds. Th
n figure was used, rather than Il
l. trend figure, since the overall i
crease during the last IL yea
IN was less than half a pound. II

new areas continues to increase,
local markets will become satisfied
and producers will begin to COM
pete in one another's markets. AL
ready, for example, many carloads
of eastern broilers have been ship
ped to the Midwest. Some have been
reshipped as far as the west coast,
and a few have even been returned
to east coast cities, such as New
York, in frozen eviscerated form.
This type of uneconomical rehand-
ling would rapidly disappear if To-
cal production increased further,
would be for Midwest-produced
birds to move to the east coast and
begin competing for markets.
So much for the gloomy side of
broiler prospects. The encouraging
side is that all signs point to a
continuing growth of the industry
for at least two reasons. First,
the primary factor responsible for
the industry's past growth-the in
crease in the number of eggs pro-
duced per hen each year-will con
tinue for a number of years to
come. Second, our total population
is continuing to increase each year

Problems
The objective of the PIMA stud!
was to estimate how many broilerI
would be needed 10 years from
now.
The first factor considered wa
the phenomenal increase in the rat
of lay per hen. In 1880 the aver
age hen laid about 120 eggs pc
year. In 1910 the rate was 1876 eggs
In 194S it was about 100 eggs. TIL
longtime average increase in tb
rate Of lay per bird has amounte
to about 2.5 eggs per year. USDl
production specialists see no reasO
why this increase should not con
tinue for some years to come.
The second factor is populatio
