Continuing Low Poultry Prices Cause
Some Curtailment of Production
HARRISBURG Continued
low prices received by farmers
for eggs and poultry meats are
forcing some curtailment of poul
try operations in Pennsylvania*
the State Department of Agricul
ture -reported today.
In. efforts to combat the cost
price squeeze, many Keystone
State poultry farmers during
March culled out their poorer lay
ers, according to a production sur
vey of Pennsylvania Crop Report
ing Service.
Some sales of entire flocks have
occurred, the report declared.

March at 17.7 million was down
seasonally from February and
slightly below March 1956. 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.

Replacing Lining
Can Save Cost
Of New Coat
If a -worn, lining is giving your
coat a shabby appearance, and
you feel it’s time for a new coat
stop before you spend the
money.
Very often the lining wears out
before the coat, so maybe it’s a
new lining and not a new coat
you need.
Buy only good quality lining

The fabric should be pre-shrunk
and color fast, so it will not fade
or stain your clothes. Some fab
rics are perspiration proof and
guaranteed to hold up for the life
of the garment. For this kind of
information read fabric labels
carefully before making your pur
case. The fabric should also be
firmly woven, so that seams will
not pull out —it should be smooth
enough for you to slip easily in
and out of your coat.
Most lining fabric comes in
widths of 39 to 45 inches. To de
termine how much fabric you
need, measure the length of the

coat from the shoulder at the
neckline to the hem, add two
inches for a hem, muliply this
number by two, and add the
sleeve length. These inchs figur
ed into yards will allow ample
yardage for cutting out a new
lining. Add an additional half
yard if your coat is full.
Use the old lining as a pattern
and follow the grain line of the
original pieces. Cut and assemble
the lining pieces, and replace the
entire lining in the coat. Have
your coat cleaned before remov
ing the old lining, since it’s much
nicer to work with a clean gar
ment.
