April 8. 1954 | Farmers'Outlook Poultry And Egg Output Increasing Farmers are increasing their production of eggs, chickens and turkeys. Good profits last year have encouraged an expansion that is bringing lower prices for all major poultry items. First part of the poultry industry to suffer was the broiler business. More recently prices for eggs have been declining, and by next fall returns from turkeys will probably not be satisfactory to many growers. Broilers. -- Prices for broilers record levels throughout Februranged from S5 to SO tents tjary a fid fcffcrcfr. About® per cent pound through most of 1953, but I WSere were placed this year than dropped to around 18 tents At"-'* the year end. At this level % pound of broiler was worth only as much as 3.5 pounds of feed compared with 5.8 pounds the year before and a two-year average (1952-1953) of 5.1 pounds. Marketings and slaughter of broilers continued to increase during the winter, probably reaching a record high in Mafah. Prices have recovered to some extent. The average so far in 1954 has been around 23 cents a pound with 28 cents a year ago. Despite the low prices for broilers, placements of chicks continued at record or neartaefc IfH formal thaa an Easter parade picture, bat bmm the family album. ( ' ' "The Photographers Will Snap You • • •' 1AHESE days everyone Is whistling and singing the praises of the young lady whose Easter bonnet is bound to be the hit of the fiaster parade. But we're thinking of the lines from that song which predict "the photographers will snap you and you'll find that you're in the rotogravure." It's a good reminder to all of us 10 ready our cameras and get in a good supply of film for making our iwn Easter parade pictures. For most of us, the chances of our turning up in the rotogravure sections of a newspaper are small. But there isn't a reason in the world why each and every one of us can't take a proper place in the family album--resplendent in our Easter finery. Actually, it is a wonderful time for picturing people. Whether they have new clothes, or have merely •spruced up last year's suit with a new tie or a piece of costume jewelry-- everybody seems to be looking their very best. And the fact that Spring is in the sir and a season is dawning seems to show in their faces. When there are children in the family, we almost instinctively think of photographing them. That is fine. At Easter time they have not only new clothes as a good reason for taking a picture, but have the props for many interesting snapshot situations. The rabbits and the chickens that come to your house--whether they are alive, stuffed, or of the edible variety--will make good centers of attention for your small fry subjects. Their interest in the novelties of the day should provide good expressions and natural poses without any effort on your part But don't forget the grown-ups in the family. They, too, belong in the snapshot album. Mother and dad together and a subject all too frequently overlooked during the days when the children are small. A cooperative friend or neighbor will be glad to take your place behind the camera so that you can be in front of it with the rest Of the family. --John Van Guilder Portuguese is spoken in Brazil by four times as many people as in Portugal.

Eggs. -- Prices of eggs held up better than usual this past winter. They continued strong into February this year, whereas tftiey often begin to slide in. December or before. Production increased slowly this winter, probably because pullets added to flocks were hatched later than usual. Birds in farm laying flocks on March 1 numbered about 267 million -- 3 per cent more than were on hand the year before. These birds were laying at a rate of 58 per cent against 55 per cent in 1953. Total daily egg production was 212 million, up nearly 8 per cent from 1953. aoi BRAND NEW SPINET PIANOS Full 88 Note Keyboard hi Mahogany $469°° USED SPINETS FROM $37500 USED GRANDS FROM $345< ALSO MO SAVINOS ON FLOOR SAMPLES SAVE UP TO $200°° Large Select! 0® To Choose From '8 Egg production usually hits its peak for the year in April. Peak output this year seems likely to be 8 to 10 per cent over yearbefore figures. Stock of storage eggs, in shell and frozen, in 35 principal cities totalled only 704,000 cases on March 6 com par with 826,000 in 1953 and 1,762,000 in 1952. In mid-March egg prices were six to nine cents under yearbefore levels in ^several markets. The prospect of ^'continued high level output will probably hold prices a little below year-before figures during the rest of this year. Hatchings for laying flock replacements were moderately larger this winter than the year before. This fact points to a slight increase in laying flocks next fall and winter. Turkeys. -- Last December farmers reported that they expected to increase turkey production by 6 per cent this year. It now seems likely that the increase will exceed 6 per cent, especially in the light breeds ani|. winter hatched poults. Th|> USDA now expects turkey production to increase by at leasiT 13 per cent and to exceed the record output of 1952. In that year the government bought 6 per cent of the turkey crop to support prices. A palindrome is a word or^ sentence that reads the eeUBe backwards as forwards.
