But a high rate of lay favored by relatively mild weather more than offset the drop in number of layers and egg output totaled 334 million for the month This was aboutthree per cent above a year earlier and the highest monthly production in years, the Depart ment said. Production of eggs on Pennsyl vania farms for the first three months of this year totals 956 million or 1 per cent above the 944 million for the same period in 1956. Demand for replacement chicks in laying flocks has been unusual ly light, the suvey showed. Hatch eries generally are hot operating at capacity during what normally is the peak season. Prices received by farmers for eggs at mid-March averaged 36 cents per dozen, a decline of 3 cents from a month previous and a 9-cent drop from March 15, 1956. It was the lowest mid-month average price since June 1950. Liveweight farm chicken at 17 cents per pound was up a half cent fom mid-February but 6.5 cents below a year earlier but 2.5 cents below March 15 last year and 8.5 cents below the same date two years ago. Turkey prices at 34 cents held to the low level of mid-February and fell a nickel short of March 15, 1956. Lancaster, Pa.
