I with wholesale prices of eggs run nlng a trifle lower thla spring than last, although at present they are near a par with last year: fowls from 1 to 8 cents a pound less and broilers i considerable lower, there la a reeling afoot amorut poultry keepers that the i buslnssa haa been overdone and that thiM maw k. nminA nl iinnrntlt. there may be a period of tinproflt ableneae In the offing But why not examine the situation from another enaie? Wheat, with Its kyprodurta, forms an important part of poultry rations. la April, lead, No. js red winter wheat waa quoted In a range between ai.eo and 1 86 per bushel The recent April the seme grade ranged between 81.28 and 8180.

Com the two months was on an ap proximately level basis. The milder westhst accounted for a 10 per cent greater egg flow than a year ago. In other words, othr conditions being equal, the poultry keeper made a greater profit in the aprlng or than during the eprlng of 193S. Wheat Too High. i Buying lower priced feeds and ob talntng a little less for eggs nearly counter balanced each other, but gave the fowl owner an advantage Wheat la the best grain that can be fed the laying hen to Increase production.

Lsst year wheat was so high that the wheat farmer felt he could 111 afford to give It to his fowls. This year the price of wheat Is so much lower that It is a cheap grain to feed considering Its rslue ss sn egg promoter. From another viewpoint, there Is a constant tendency to keep larger nocae, wnicn materially cuts down labor costs, but there la nothing st present to Indicate that poultry keeping hss been materially overdone or that future prices will be auch as to exterminate profit from hensj If egg and market fowl prices had remained at. precisely the eame levels sa last year the flock earnings would have been materially Increased over year ago So, while It Is natural that the poultryman would like to obtain a high price for his product even while the coet Is essentially lower, Just aa would those engaged In any I other bualnees. there la no reason to cry if thla cannot be put over.

Hens More Prolific. i Poultry keepers are ever learning i better how to coa their biddies to 'ay tnoee precious fall mod' winter which factor, while It. has low rrt winter price to a1 extent, has reacted toward ex tractlng the profit from storage men AM. i vi.i. mil JIUUMlV9 the.

eggs, and there Is nothing In It. to alarm either the producer or con aumer. as both have profited by the mange tne egg farmer by having to sell where he formerly hsd none, or few. and the consumer bv b'n sbl to bu7 cheaper, and prob "umber of cases of eggs that reach the four leading markets of the United Statea Is Increaslnc vear hv The population of the states Is also Increasing. Not only that, but.

with tlieerede of eggs reaching the! constantly ImDrov Ing, the demand for them Is increaa 1 lhn population la en Urging. Al KXS founuins the call for egg iciiuig a mucn nigner ne mna. which accounte for a large number of rases of eggs a year, and 'o aemana more' Market fowl of the various small new concerns starting up every county fn poultry tstea. It would enpear that the busl must oe overdone, there Is yet no great danger, when the industry is considered aa a hni Swamped With Chicks. But there does seem to be an entirely changing seasonal demand for chicks, which first exhibited itasff during the 1B3 season.

Before that time the greatest demand hart Kn from Maroh 18 to April 30. Laat year mm waa tne Quiiest time of the aea aon for many concema and a larve number materially cut their aettlngs men, about April 30, Just the time when trsci in former years, the demand started with a Douna and caught tha betcherlee entirely unable to cope with it. Thla year vlrtuallv all mnrm batching commercial chick rkve been awamped with chlcka and nrtc have been lower. In many instances, than their production cost. Starting April 30.

or thereabout. a last year, the demand haa doubled. Whether the hatcherv huainiuu actually been overdone, or whether inese institutions must merelv re construct their business methods to meet the changed seasonal demands csn be now but conjecture. nowever, an oualnesaee sooner or later encounter the survlval of the flttest teat, and that commercial chick hatcherlea cannot continue to enjoy their almost sure thing profitable business may be stated with assurance, based on past history of other industries. The tendency for market fowle to drop in price thle year at an earlier date than laat would seem to indicate that more people engaged In the egg producing industry are finding It harder to run their plants at a profit and so are culling their flock earlier than usual, or that they are becoming panloky In expectation of further drop in egg and fowl price.

When the market price of wheat and corn and their by product are balanoed again th price of eggs and market fowle there Is nothing for ths poultry keeper to view with concern at present, nor to Indicate that th business will be lee profitable than It haa been.
