The numb ar of lajers in creased seasonally but the total was one million under a year ago, the Department said How ever, the inciease failed,to offset a decline in the average number of eggs per layer. During September the num ber of layers averaged 17,896,000 or 5 ner cent below the 18,840,- 000 of a year earlier Rata of lay continued the seas onal decline begun in June and reflected the addition of pullets to the laying flocks and the molting of old hens, the survey showed. Pennsylvania egg output for the first nine months of this year totals 2,685,000,000 or 15 per cent below the 2 727,000,000 for the same period last year. The relationship between in creased prices paid by farmers for poultiy feeds this September and the lower prices received for poultry and eggs was less favor able to producers than in Sep tember of last year, the Depart ment said.
