previous week North Carolina s
price was down half cent to is

marva was up half a cent to II

Eggs
For the next two to three weeks
it looks like egg prices will stay
about where they are now But for
the next few months. indications
point to the usual rising seasonal
trend. Don't expect this rise to be
as high as last years.
Production is turning down sea
sonally and the number of layers
during June was reduced more than
normal. and there has been heavy
buying for storage.
From January to June the hatch
of egg type chicks was up II per
cent over last year. This will put
a large supply Of small and medium
size eggs into market during the
next few months.
In Virginia this week. egg prices
were unchanged to mostly lower
with the most decline on the
mediums. Richmond grade A large
eggs we're bringing 80 to 40 cents
off one penny from last week.

Veterans Receiving
Pensions Warned
To Keep Records

Veterans and widows of veterans
who are receiving pensions with
income limits Of Sl40O and 5000,
and who have some income other
than the VA pension should keep
running monthly record Of such
income
There are two excellent reasons
why it is good business to main
tain current income record. ~
once year all persons being paid
VA pensions must report their total
annual income, and a running &C
count removes the guessWork: ~
every pensioner is instructed TO
notify the VA Immediately OF re-
ceipt of, or anticipated receipt OF.
income which will exceed the ap-
propriate limitations figures. Rec
ords could prevent loss Of pension
or overpayment.
What happens to veteran or
widow Of veteran on the pension
rolls who fails to report promptly
unexpected income which raises
the yearly income above the legal
limit? The VA must declare the
person ineligible for the pension for
the full current year. and pension
already received during the year
must be paid back. If the pensioner
is unable to refund the overpay-
ment thus created, he does not
receive any money the next year
until the government has recovered
the overpayment charged against
him. If he had reported the excess
income when received, he would
have been cut off only for the re-
mainder of the calendar year and
would not have to return any part
of the pension received up to thai
time.

BrOilers
Don't look for strength in broiler
prices for the next week or two,
Slaughter has been running heavy
as growers unload at slightly i'm
proved prices
Prices dropped a little last week
after the holidays. and it will proba-
bly, be another week or SO before
slaughter drops back and prices re-
cover. But in about two weeks
broiler supplies for the nation will
dip below last year and prices
should rise. In August. supplies will
average about seven per cent be-
low a year ago.
The price rise may not be in pro-
portion to what happened during
previous production dips. There are
indications that broiler sales are not
responding as fast at retail as they
have in past years.
1t is a good time to take another
look at broiler plans for this fall.
Projected chick placements will
move above last year again about
the first week in October. This
could usher in another round Of be-
