Have you heard it? The cry of the Eugene chick owner. If you haven't you will. Just wait until the weather warms "up and your neighbor turns loose his newly feathered flock into the back lot. Right now that flock may be in his basement huddling be side hot water bottles, warm bricks, or nestling in the environs of a home-made electric brooder, but it will be out in the open once the adolescent feathers sprout and the sun rides high in the spring heavens. For Eugeneans are chick conscious.

Broadway 769 W. 6th meat conscious. Anyway, Eu geneans have been buying chicks this spring as they have never bought them before. A flock in every yard would seem to be the Eugene goal if the tremendous sale of baby chicks in this com munity is any indicator of events. "Hog wild and crazy over chicks" is the way one Eugene chick dealer summed up the chick-buying craze. He estimated that he has sold in the neighborhood of 25,000 chicks this season. Another deal-! er said that his sales have reached I the 2300 mark every week for the past eight weeks. A third dealer, approached for the num ber of his season's sales, uttered one word "astronomical." That's a lot of chicks running around. Enough to guarantee a breakfast egg for each of us for months to come to say nothing of an occasional fryer. Of course not all of these chick sales were to Eugene citizens, but a good half were to "city people" as one dealer expressed it, and he told of a business woman who recently bought 500 baby chicks which she intends to raise within the city limits. The number of chicks bought at a time has varied from five or six to place under an old hen to 1000 the nucleus of a young poultry ranch. The average number has been 1 uum au ro auu. prices nave rang ed from around 16 cents for the Mirny (mm Ml a i i : : jgES!Zt AU WITH COVHS SC " Z- J the secretary on, idle trucks, state grange meeting in Eugene and na tional farmers relation Act.

Cockerels have been i sold for $2 a hundred with one store reporting giving them away earlier in the season. People are buying chicks not only for egg production but for locker meat, it has been pointed out by several dealers. This ob-1 servation is based on fact that there ! have not been many calls for sex-i ed chickens, buyers preferring toi take the straight runs and having a percentage of fryers and broil ers after eight or nine weeks. Then too the fact that many calls have been for "colored stuff" or the meatier chicken shows that the buyer has his future meat supply in mind. Some dealers re- j port that a number of calls have been made for cockerels. The sale of New Hampshire Reds exceeds that of other breeds but the Barred Rocks, White Leg horns and Rhode Island Reds have found many takers. I The heavy demand for chicks : this year has the feed men, the! hatchery men and the chick deal er about at .their wits end. This ! week one dealer called a halt to his sales. Another can promise no more chicks until July 1 and still another has no idea when he will be able to again take orders. The feed and mill men hope that the supply of feed holds out for the season's unparaleled sale of chicks. They've got their fing ers crossed. The dealers in chic ken mash, water fountains, feed ing troughs and other chick rais ing paraphanalia are cleaned out and don't know where more is coming from. As one man said forlornly, "All I've got left is some leg bands." The egg is an elemental form but it is also an elemental neces sity. Eugeneans have found that out. In a few months dawn in Eu gene should be a raucous, strid ent affair with every backyard chanticlerr trying to be first to rouse the slumbering Eugene householders.
