PAT TT .TRY FARMER'S OUTLOOK GOOD OVER STATE, STUDY SHOWS A study of the cost of commer cial egg production In Oregon be ing conducted by tho poultry and farm management departments of the Oregon Agricultural t'olV'ge Indicates that the poultry faVmer need have no fear of tho future. If he develops a rcnsonablo effi ciency In the orgnqlzation and op eration of his farm. The study, copies which have Just been re ceived locally, -Indicates that the necessary degree of efficiency is quite within tho reach of tho aver age farmer. An analysis of tho progress re port of the study prepared by Cecil L. Griggs, Instructor In Agricul ture at the linlon High school, for uso In the Junior and senior rami management course of that school gives some of me Jngn ngius oi the study which will be of Interest to Union county farmers who are interested In poultry raising as a .farm enterprise. "Cooperative marketing of eggs has rendered marked aid In Ore gon and. the I'nclflc Coust slates in successfully disposing of use reglouul surplus and. miiintainlng prices thereby", nsserts the re port. "In tho I'nited Hlnles chick ens have increased from 2S0 mil lion in 11110 lo 414 million in 1U2B while egg production has increased from 1575 million dozen In IMO to 1913 million dozen ill 1U26. In Oregon the clilcien population doubled in thai period giving a total In 1826 of 8, 238.000 chickens and a yield of 20 (inllllon dozen eggs n year. Willi the rate of in- I creuse In production approximat ing six times the rate of Increase In population, this indicates rather forcibly the possibility and Indeed the' danger of reaching tho satura tion point for home consumption, although the V. S. now consumes practically all of tho eggs we pro duce." ' : Regions included in Hit. study Included S2 farms. In, th" Wllla lllCtle valley, 25 farms .in Knslern Oregon, -17 in the coast section, and 10 In Soulhern Oregon. The Knstern Oregon section Included jjlx farms In Umatilla counly. three In Morrow county, and Hi In Des chutes county. Only commercial egg producing flocks were Includ ed, avoiding the small farm flocks as one extreme mid Ihe highly specialized breeding farms us the other extreme.

It was found that the average flock contained 5S per cent pullets. 112 per cent one-year-old hens, and nine per cent of oljler hens. About half of the rioek was repluced annually with new stock. The average rate of culling out was found to be about .15 tier cent of the flock each year, while the average death rate whh found to be 11 Ptr cent. The hig-h dealh rate was chiefly attributed to the factor of soil Infection.

Tho Investment was divided us follows: stock, 31 per cent: luylns houses, 30.4 per cent; other poul try buildings. 11.9 per cent: land, 13.8 per cent: poultry feed, 4.9 per cent: equipment, 4.1 per cent: auto and truck, 3.9 per cent. In determining tho cost of pro ducing eggs, a total of more than 40 fuctors was studied, covering every detail from the cost of tho baby chicks to Interest and taxes. Tho results showed that tho aver age net cot of production, was 27.9 'cents a dozen. This Included 7.3 cenls for man and horse labor; 1 8.6 cents for feed: 5.9 cenls for miscellaneous: expenses lucludiJiH straw, fuel, tuxes. Insurance, chicks, and similar expenses: 1.4 cents depreciation of equipment and 1.7 cents interest on Invest ment making a total of 34.8 cents which was reduced to 27.9 cents ns the average net cost of eggs by the fact that there were receipts from other sources than eggs to the amount of 6.9 cenls a dozen. The average "biddy" produced 173 eggs a--year, coaling a total of $4.00 tho figures of tho survny showed. The chief Item In the cost of her maintenance was that of feed, which was. 2,G0 per hen, ' nroat of which had to beiurchased to the extent of J2.49 per hen In fact. In all $3.23 out of a total gross cost of production per hen had to be paid out in cash, the balance of 36 per cent being fur nished by the furhi. Rome .slurtliug figures are shown in the study of variations In cost. Kleven farms actually pro duced eggs at an average cost of 1 17.9 cenls a dozen, while 32 aver aged as low as 20.8 cents a dozen. "These farms are making money right along and can witlisland a lot of competition successfully." Is the terse way Ihe Investigators comment on these facts. No ad vantages 111 location or other fea tures were found on these farms, the -lower cost being caused simply by bettor organization and effi cient operation. About right per cent of tho farms had a cost of ; production of more than 30 cents a dozen. ' The production of eggs per hen was found lo greatly nrrect liio cost of eggs.
