When you cat your next egg, remember that it is probably one of the 52,560,000 shipped into Portland from states east of us every year to supply the demand over and above the eggs the Oregon hens furnish. We pay on an average 30 cents a dozen for these eggs, or $1,314,000 a year. Every dollar of that amount ought to be paid to Oregon producers. More than that, we ought to be exporting instead of importing all poultry products, for there is no section of the coun try tinder the 'sun where-poultry will thrive as well as in Oregon.
