Egg Production
Down 6 Per Cent
From Last Year
Pennsylvania laying flocks
laid 269 million eggs during
January 1963, 6 percent less
than a year earlier according
to the Pennsylvania Crop Re
porting Service. This was the
lowest January output since
1949. *
There were 15.4 million lay
ers in the State’s laying flocks
in January, slightly greater
than the total in December,
but 3 percent less than a year
earlier. The January produc
tion of 17.42 eggs per bird
was the same as the December
average, but 2 percent less
than a year ago. There is
normally an increase in laying
rate from December to Janu
ary. The comparatively low
January 1963 rate of lay was
principally due to the below
average cold, snowy -weather
experienced during January
throughout the Common
wealth.
Poultry losses resulting from
disease, accident, exposure, etc
were nearly the same as a
month earlier, but slightly
higher than a year ago Cull
mgs, at nearly 6 percent of the
total number of layers, were up
seasonally from December, but
the same as a year ago. Few
laymg flocks during January
er pullets were added to the
than a month ago, but more
than January 1962 Growers
expect to purchase 4 percent
more chicks in 1963 than they
did. in 1962.

When buying gloves for
children, it’s a good idea to
take them with you if pos
sible. But if you can’t measure
each child’s hand when he
closes it This will be a good
guide for the size It’s better
to have gloves or mittens a
little too large tnan a little
too small.
