General Softness in Broiler Demand
Seen Early in Week in Major Areas
PHILADELPHIA, June 24 A
slight easing of demand was seen
at the beginning of the week in
the major broiler producing areas.
Most trading in the Delmarva
area was at prices to be deter
nunted after the weekly auction
at the Eastern Shore Poultry
Growers Exchange.
The broiler-feed ratio last week
remained steady with the week
before, although both broiler
prices and feed prices rose ap
preciably. Feed gained from
SlOO 96 a ton to $102.36 a ton.
Broiler prices rose from 21.62
cents a pound to 22.10 cents a
pound.

Healthy Chicks Make Great Layers!
Keep The Eggs
From Your Various
Flocks Separate
Today many of our customers aie being paid on a graded
out basis for their eggs. Some of the reports that we are getting
on the percentage of “A” ’s and “AA” ’s being laid by Babcock
Bessies are fantastically high. Some of them are almost beyond
belief.
We do find that many of our customers are putting eggs from
several different ages of layers all in together. Also we find some
poultrymen experimenting with other birds in competition with
Bessies, and are packing all of these eggs in together in the
same cases
If you have a flock of birds that has been laying ,2 to 3
months, and if you are being paid on a graded basis, I would
suggest that you keep these eggs separate from a flock that has
been laying Bto 10 months. In this way you can mark your oases
and tell your buyer that you are keeping your various eggs
separate so that he can pay you the highest return, and also he
can get the best possible pack for his customers.
You will also find a tremendous variation in the quality of
eggs that different strains lay. We are eager that all of our cus
tomers and future customers keep the Bessie eggs separate from
eggs laid by other birds. It is only in this way that you can keep
accurate records on the quality eggs being laid by various birds
on your farm.
We would like to have you stop at Babcock Poultry Farm and
look at our eggs going over the graders. And we hope that you
can stop when we are breaking out eggs and judging their interior
quality and their freedom from bloodspots.
Please send for our free catalog and literature on our birds.
PS. You may find it too much work to keep all eggs separ
ate. But I feel that it is important to make a check about once a
month on the difference in egg quality between different strains
and different ages of birds.
