Parasites will always be with

The need for better breeding

STORAGE EFFORTS
SLASH EGG PRICES
PORTLAND, JanT 16. (AP) A
survey of the egg market showed
today a recently sharp downward
trend resulted from efforts to move
eggs Into storage.
Market experts said the action
was normal in Junuury, near the
flush season, and wift always swift
and somewhat artificial in an effort
to get the market down to bed
rock so accumulating surpluses
would be moved into storage.
Prices at the same period of the
year since 1930 have shown a simi
lar trend toward or below'the pres
ent price of 21 cents.
Wholesalers said today low
prices were resulting In vastly in
creased immediate consumption of
eggs.
