COUNTY EGG PRODUCTION

Ask Poultrymen To Increase Output For War C«p« May County poultrymen art asked by the government to produce approximately 1,638,000 dozen egga this year, an increase over 1942 production of less than one per cent, as their share in the Food for Victory program, the Northeastern Poultry Producers Council estimated today. This county goal is based on h an increase suggested for New Jersey by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, it was explained by Leon Todd, managing director of NEPPCO. Because of New Jersey’s relatively high egg production in 1942, this state is ' ed for one of the smallest creases in the northeastern gkm, well below the average national increase of eight per cent. Todd declared that farmers can reach these goals if adequate supplies of labor and feed are avail-

able.

“Poultry farmers are working harder than ever in all-out war production," Todd said, “continuing the magnificent job they did last year by producing approximately 1,536,000 dozen eggs in this county to help supply civilians, military and lend-lease BMda. Also, two developments during the last year have resulted in larger laying flocks on most farms today. "First, egg prices as shown by records of one of the larger purchasers of New Jersey eggs, the A A P Tea Company, which last year paid $1 ^88^30 in this state for 3,828,610 dozen, were so favorable that farmers saved an unusually large proportion of potential layers. "Second, conditions were good in 1942 for raising pullet*; fall weather was generally mild and the average hatching date was
