Selling Eggs 
This is the time when egg prices drop. 
Hens that merely ate and loafed all Win¬ 
ter now start cackling, and lay at least 
enough to sit on. A9 the backyard flocks 
are on the job. The production differ¬ 
ence in well-kept commercial flocks is not 
so great proportionately, but there are 
multitudes of small flocks which, because 
of poor-laying inheritance, age and in¬ 
different Winter housing and care, take 
a vacation from early Fall to April, and 
then for a month do their best to over¬ 
load the market. 
Thus the man who is making his living 
from selling eggs suddenly finds his re¬ 
turns cut in two, or perhaps worse, and 
starts searching for a better market. The 
nearby small town or city where he may 
have been selling appears to be swamped 
with eggs, and he naturally turns toward 
the large city markets. This may or may 
not be wise. The attractive New York 
quotation shrinks surprisingly after ex¬ 
press and selling charges are deducted. 
New York can handle great quantities 
of eggs for its April storage as well as 
regular consumptive demand—3,780.000 
dozen were received here in two recent 
days, but the selling advantage as a rule 
is with the large or nearby producers. 
The man with only one or two crates a 
week is likely to find that he never gets 
the top price. This may be because the 
eggs are defective in quality or grading, 
or because the dealer handling them is 
less concerned about small shippers in 
flush supply times. 
It is wise for small producers to make 
sure that no local demand has been over¬ 
looked. A thorough search of the local 
restaurants, lunch rooms, lunch wagons 
and perhaps a canvass of private families 
or a card in the local paper may help.
