The egg situation which has
been of major Interest to Klam
ath producers Is explulucd as
follows by Nool liunnion, exten
sion poultryman of Oregon Stulo
college: "Hecently thoro havo
been a few complaint un t,
price of eggs, Wo would all Ilka
lo see the producer gutting more
money. However, tills Is tho sell
son of the year when the margin
of profit Is nlwuys narrow In Mm
poultry business. Feed casta are
high and there lias been the
usual seasonal decline in t li e
price of eggs. However, eggs ure
Q still ubout SO per cent higher
than they were a year ugo unci
feed Is from ;i 3 to 40 per ci-nl
higher. Tho feed egg ratio i
slightly nioro favorable- than it
win a year ugo and above the
luyeur uverage.
"1'oultry producers should lie
reminded thai leaders in the In
dustry, from the secretary of
agriculture on down, havo ad
vised iiij.aii.-l expansion In the
poultry business by going into
debt buying or building new
equipment. It has been stated
on many uccu.iions Hint adequate
facilities are available to tuke
cure of tho desired increase il
used efficiently. Poultry produc
ers In this state have been urged
to stuy In lino with state and
federal guuls. Stulo und federal
reports show that since tho first
of the year receipts of eggs in .
Oregon huva been running from ;
10 to 15 per cent higher com
pared with lust year.
"The federul government has
stated they would support the
price of eggs at B per cent par
ity until Juno 30, 10-13. Under
tho Sleagull amendment tho sec
retary has tho authority to raise,
lower or extend this prlco sup
port. "At present tho seasonal ad
justed parity price on eggs is
25.01 cents per dozen. Eighty
'fivo per cent of parity would be
22.02 cents per dozen. It should
ba kept In mind Hint parity price
on eggs varies throughout the
year, depending on the price of
commodities that furmers huvc
to buy and the seasonal varia
tion In tho prlco of eggs. While
present purity on eggs is 25.01
cents per dozen, In November It
may bo 30 cents or more per
Qdozcn.
"At the present time the nuni
per of laying hens lis the United
States is 12 per ccr.t higher com
pared with last your. Tho total
egg output for lust month was
17 per cent higher than a year
ago.
"Poultry producers expect to
raise 12 per cent more chicks
this year than last. These figures
Indicate the 1042 goal will be
more than surpassed.
"Tho Bureau of Agricultural
Economics states that tho feed
egg ratio is expected to continue
favorable for egg production,
but it probably will not he as
favorable for this year as a
whole as for 1041."
