Although eggs are cheaper than they have been for many years, E. V. Williams, a poul try farmer of Selbyville, believes In conserving them at any cost. A few days ago he went into the poultry house to gather the eggs, collecting a total of about 13 dozen In a basket. The poultry house is up ofl the ground being necessary to mount some doz en steps to the doorway.

While col lecting the basket of eggs, someone appened to place a small round log In front of the door. Upon leaving the poultry house with the basket of eggs on his arm, Mr. Williams step ped on the roller and in another second found himself taking an in- entory of conditions at the foot of the steps. It was discovered that he was badly bruised including a frac tured rib, but not one of the fifteen dozen eggs was so much ar cracked. Mr.

Williams is nn uncle of Mrs. J. IL Middleton of near Laurel. The fanners of this section have just experienced one of their poorest years in the history of the sweet po tato Industry. While the yield was fairly good and the quality very high the depressed conditions in the coun try in general have resulted in a small demand for the crop and the growers and brokers have been fore ed to dispute of the crop for what price was available.

As a general rule the price ad vances during the lste Winter and prlng months, but suii has not. been the case this season. The farmer who sold his crop at. harvesting time at the current market, price was much better off than the one who took a chance and stored the crop to await hlghrr prices. Shipments are still going on.

but there are only a few sweets left in this part of the penin sula. However in spite of conditions. farmers are going on and making plans for srowing another crop. It Is expected that the acreage will be reduced somewhat a.s many farmers are not going to be able to finance the work on such a large scale this season.
