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.

"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."
