prices it is still good business for
farmers to start baby chicks this
spring, according to Tom Porter,
co-^wner of the Porter Feed & Seed
Company, located on East Broad-
way.
“This drop in prices may cause
some farmers to give up on baby
chicks this year”, Porter staled,
"and we may wind up with an egg
shorage next winter.”
Porter pointed out the population
growth since the h. i “baby chick
season” will swell (he normal de-
mand upwards of a billion eggs
next fall. The present market seems
to be having the tendency to de-
crease production too much.
“Tlic logical result o fa heavy I
decline in replacement chicks,” he
said, “will be fewer next fall when
the chicks put down now will be j
laying best."
lie reminded farmers of a simil-
ar market condition a couple of
years ago, when Ihe egg market
broke sharply in Ihe spring, but | concludo(|. “and he stands a good
back to new peaks the following chance tn show a satisfactory poul-

"Good weather, better breeding1 '
lo make a temporary egg supply j
larger than usual,” he explained. I
"Obviously, this has forced the egg
prices down, but the sitaution of- i
fers an unusual opportunity for j
egg profits next fall, according to
most market experts. And here is |
their reason—some poultry keep-
ers will not raise chicks this spring.
So, there should be fewer pullets
and fewer eggs next fall and win-
ter' In Ihe past, this has made ex-
tra high egg prices during that
time of year.
“Don’t bo misled into cutting
down on chicks this spring,” be cau-
tioned, “let the other fellow quit."
Some poultry flock owners were
panicked into getting out of Ihe egg
business in 1950 when egg prices
dropped to 30.7e that spring. Yet
in Ihe fall and winter of '50, prices
hit 57.7c per dozen, Porter stated.
"The farmers who has chickens
in production next fall should have
some mighty good property,” he
