" W^1'1 THE McHElfRY PLAWDCALER Farmers VIEW OF EGG PRICES IN YEAkl AHEAD GIVEN This has been a good year for most poultrymen. Next year seems likely to bring more competition and smaller profits. This year has been notable for several things: Feed costs have probably averaged 8 to 10 per cent under 1952 levels. This decrease has helped to keep production costs under control. Egg production and sales have been the' ^largest on record, and prices have averaged higher than in any other recent year. Broiler outpfrt also has been at a record high, with prices among the ?>est since ,1948. Turkey production is second only to that of last year, and prices are near last year's figures. As we look ahead, egg production seems likely to run slightly above year-earlier figures. Numbers of hens and pullets on farms give a clue to future output. On October 1, farmers had 196 million hens, 5 per cent more than they had a year before. At the same time they had 289 million pullets, 1 or 2 per cent less than they had last year. These facts forecaat a laying flock one to two per cent on Jan. 1, 1954, than a year earlier. Egg production per hen will probably be larger during the next few months than it was a year earlier. Rate of lay has increased in eleven of the past seventeen years. For all seventeen years, the average annual increase in rate of lay is around 3 per cent. Rate of lay has now increased rather steadily for three successive years, and another moderate increase, of perhaps 2 or s per cent, aeems likely in 1954. The storage situation was the key to the market last winter and spring, and it may be again. In recent years most eggs for storage have been broken out and frozen rather thai) stored in the shell. Supplies are built up during the high production months of February to June. Frozen eggs are used by institutions, bakeries and manufacturers of baking mixes. The year 1953 began with stocks of frozen eggs at a very low level, and buying of eggs for freezing was very active. Now stocks of frozen eggs are evfcn lower than they were a year ago, and processors may be forced tj? begin buying as early as they did last year, if not earlier. Egg prices seem likely to average a little lower in 1954 than in 1953 and to follow a more normal seasonal pattern. That is, the decline from November to February is likely to be considerably more than the ten cents recorded last winter. If egg prices follow their usual seasonal pattern, they win decline one-fourth to one-third from November to February. Prices usually remain low f:om February through most of June and rise one-third from June to October. Best prices of th4 year are made in the four months from September through December, but most Illinois farmers produce and sell most of their eggs in the low months of February to June. -v LAY AWAY YOUR SEWING MACHINE • NOW • For Christmas X: Easy terms, no, Interest or carrying charges ftew and used straight sewers and Zig Zags FREUNDS SEWM6 MACHINE Sales 8c Service Across from Hunterville Subd, KRONE 064-J-fc BCeiflBNRY, ILL.
