eggs when prices are favorable in
stead of going around like a SILVER
ing porcupine for whom you feel
you should knit a sweater.
That brings us TO the point of
egg price per dozen. We had several
growers who had a good enough egg
price for the eggs which were sold
each month. But they did not have
enough eggs 10 sell when they were
receiving this good price, SO that it
pulled down their years average.
Those that received an average of
better than SIS cents a dozen for all
eggs laid, received just about twice
the labor income that was made by
those who received less than SIS
cents.
However there are some folks who
happen to live where they can't re-
ceive all the state market warrants.
We find the best prices in the Helena
area and next best west of the noun
talns. For n reason, eggs are paid
for on grade in these areas, and it
pays a grower to take care of his
eggs in order to have a greater per-
cent of them go into the top grade.
But if you don't happen to live
m these more favorable areas, you
probably have other advantages
which more than offset egg prices.
So don't feel put upon. Just use your
ingenuity and figure out how you
can lower the cost of your feed. If
you do not get top price for eggs,
then you certainly are not going to
receive any discrimination against
yolk color, so that you can substitute
o green feed in the ration.
Maintain Feed. Egg Ratio
Using skim milk to provide animal
protein is another means of lowering
the cost of the ration, that is, if you
have a plentiful supply on the ranch
In this way you a keep your feed
egg ratio in line. In case you have
forgotten, the feed, egg ratio is the
number of dozen eggs required tc
purchase 100 pounds of feed. The
smaller the figure, the more profit
one will receive. Those who kept the
feed, egg ratio at Z or lower had q
labor income of about Sc per bird
while those that let the ratio get out
of line or over 80, (either paying
too much for the feed or receiving
too little for their eggs, only re.
ceived about 81 per bird for theil
years work.
If you really would like to make
a more detailed study of the year.
report, we will be glad to supply
you with one, as we ran a few extra

about this summary is that, in spite
of all ideas to the contrary, this pas

Thus if the community feels that
higher jobless benefits will encour-
age people fraudently to claim the
benefits, the community is likely to
resist increasing them.
Delaware procedures for. detect
ing fraud "are calculated to reduce
it to a minimum" he said. He
pointed out that in Delaware every
payment of unemployment COM
pensation benefits is checked
against payrOlls records collected
from employers, to see that no per-
son was employed at the same time
he was receiving jobless poy. No
other states process equals Del
aware's thoroughness in making
this check, which is also aided here
by the wide coverage of the unem-
ployment compensation system.
Some of the material father
Becker is collecting here he plans
to use in a section of his book in
which he will review and sum-
marize the charges of abuse of job
less benefits which have been made
in several states. He plans to use
Delaware experience as the stand
ard in estimating the extent oi
fraud. He finished his work here OF
Tuesday.
Father Becker has been doing re-
search in unemployment compensa-
tion systems since 1916, when he
was granted fellowship for that
purpose. He has since visited many
states to father material at frs
hand from the state agencies ad
ministering the jobless benefit
