Large Chick Hatch
Benson Sees Lower Egg Prices
December hatchings of egg ed would be a cause for con
type chicks will be about 40 cern.
to 50 percent above last
December, Secretary of Ag
riculture Ezra Taft Benson
warned today, citing figures
from the latest hatchery re
port.
Fearing that this is indica
tive of a trend toward un
duly large increases in com
ing months, the Secretary
said that likely consequences
of such large hatchings if
not soon tempered would
be to sharply expand egg
marketings after mid-1961,
and thus to weaken egg pri
ces.
The USDA monthly hatch
ery report issued Dec. 15th,
summarizing activities in the
approximately 4.200 com
mercial , -' ,f "heries in the
Tnited States, showed
on Dec. - were 43%
more eggs in incubators for
the production of egg-type
chicks. The increase thus
indicated for hatchings in
the first three weeks of the
month would follow an in
crease of 27 percent " 50
million chicks in the pre
ceding seven months
While the percentage in
crease in these seven months
was large, it occured mostly
during a period of seasonal
ly small hatchings I-i eonj
ing months, hatchings will
rise to a seasonal peak, and
even modest percentage in
creases in those months will
create large increases in
terms of numbers of chicks
USDA had previously indi
cated that spri igtime in
creases beyond in nercent in
the number of chickens rais-

“Egg prices have been fav

Secretary said “However, if
the indicated increases are
not tempered, they will re

(From page u
in the most recent test”
Dr. Clarkson added that
current information indicates
that the percentage of bru
cellosis infection in commer
cial dairy herds has dropped
to .014 per cent this year
Pennsylvania is modified
as brucellosis-free by the
federal government This cer
tification was granted March
13, 1958, when fewer than 1
per cent of the cattle and 5
per cent of the herds in the
state were infected with
brucellosis.
Presently two counties are
certified as brucellosis free.
In Philadelphia and Monroe
County, recent tests have
shown that fewer than 1 per
cent of the herds and 2 per
cent of the cattle are infect
ed with the disease
