Page Eight FRANK PRIEBE'S POU Dear Friends: When the government wanted an increase in the production of poultry and eggs at the beginning of the -war, they offered to support the price at of parity. And they got the increase. The price did the trick. Now they want a less eggs and less poultry than in 1945. But the price machinery can't be thrown into reverse.

The government is still committed to support the price at the level which first encouraged the increase in production. It seems to me there's about as much chance to reduce production if you maintain the price as there would be to back up a car if you kept it in low gear. Planned economy can look fine on paper. But I've seen too many plans that failed to take into consideration the question of profit, Will Be Supported Poultry and eggs have been profitable. And there is every reason to believe they will continue to be profitable.

This will be true particularly if the rumored price support program is carried out next spring. A couple of weeks ago I wrote you about the proposed compensatory plan, under the end of the producer would be paid the difference between the support price and the U. S. average price on every dozen eggs he had sold. That plan was ruled out.

I only hope that if they buy eggs they know what they're going to do with them. Government buying can bolster the market at the time of purchase, but a huge accumulation of government-owned eggs for which there is no apparent outlet can depress it just as much later. Whether the government can successfully discourage production by publicity at the same time they are encouraging it with price, I don't know. Reduce Production "Reduce your production because, if you don't, there may be a surplus of ,20,000,000 cases which the government will have to buy," doesn't sound to me like a very argument to an individual producer. However, when you stop to consider that when the government buys eggs, it buys them with the taxpayer's money YOUvR money you get a little different slant on the picture.

When you come right down to it, there's not much net gain a government-supported price. I think it's possible to cut production without a corresponding cut in profit and, in the end, it's the profit that counts. We all know that a lot of 'brooder houses and hen houses have been too crowded these last few years for really efficient production. During the war years, volume was the big factor in profits. But from now on in poultry raising as in every other business the profit will come from producing a reasonable volume of quality products and producing them at low cost.

Next year I'd raise all the chicks I could raise right, but no more. Sincerely, Zuber and Dennis of Homestead, Lucille Schaefer of East, William Hoppe, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Metz and family, and Mr. and Mrs.
