Poor Egg Shell
Quality Costs $
The Oyster Shell Institute,
Inc., reports that nation-wide,
eggs that are unmarketable toe
cause of weak shells amount
to 5 7 percent of the total
production.
They suggest that if the
number of cracked, checked or
broken eggs were reduced to
2 percent by improving shell
strength, egg income would
be increased by 16 to 26%
cents per hen .per year.
This estimate is based on an
average pioduction of 213 eggs
per bird per year, with an
average market price of 30
cents per dozen.
Let’s see how this reason
ing would work out for Penn
sylvania farms. According to
the USD A statistics for 1963,
we had an average egg price
in Pennsylvania of 37 8 cents
per dozen. The average eggs
per bird was recorded at 213.
If we were able to increase
our marketable eggs by four
percent (they say 5-7 percent
lost to weak shells so we as-
grains of the Holstein Associa
tion. Still more have achieved
similar goals in unofficial
testing programs.
i 1 >
sumed an average figure of
6 percent; 6 reduced to '2 per
cent would mean a net in
crease in marketable eggs of
4 percent) we would gain
8.52 eggs per bird x 3.15 cents
per egg. This would amount
to an increase in gross income
per bird of 26.8 cents per
year, if our arithmetic is cor
rect.
Some other small differences
that can effect the egg prof
it picture are pointed out by
Donald Bell, University of
California Faim Advisor. He
suggests that a 1 percent in
crease in egg production is
worth 8 cents per hen per
year; that 5 percent more
large eggs is worth 5 cents
per hen per year; and that
1/10 pound better feed con
veision is worth 6 cents per
hen per year In a period of

DEALERS MUST RETEST
CARRYOVER SEED STOCKS
With the approach of spring
the Stale Agriculture Depait
ment today cautioned seed
dealers, that carry-over seeds
from last season must be ic
tested and relabeled befo;e
they are sold.
Henry F. Nixon, director of
the department’s Bureau of
Plant Industry, pointed out
that the Pennsylvania Seed
Act requires retesting if pilot
tests were made nine months
or more before seed is sold,
Tests include those for ge t .
nunation, purity and freedom
from noxious weeds.
