WEEKLY REVIEW
LIVE HENS - Prices of both
light «nd heavy hens held un
changed. Demand generally
good on both types and readily
clearing available supplies. Of
ferings of light type barely ade
quate for needs as producers
hold for further egg production
prior to Holiday period. Offer
ings for movement following
Eastern often heavy, heavy type
offerings generally short of in
terest in most quarters. Prices
paid at farm: light hens 4-6,
mostly 5V4-6, heavy hens 16-18 c
TURKEYS Limited trading
noted on small lots moving to
the retail ice-packed trade. Ad
vance interest for Easter needs
fair. Limited trading reported
ranging from 22-28 c depending
on weights and quality of birds.

HISTORY OF SOAPS
One view of history tells us
that the use of soap went hand
in hand with the greatest civili
zations of the past When Egyp
tian kings built palaces and
pyramids, when the Greek cul
ture flowered, and when Italian
art and music flourished, bath
ing was an important part of
everyday life. Conversely, low
points in history, like the Dark
(and dirty) Ages, were known
for the absence of cleanliness.
Americans today use an aver
age of 27 pounds of soap per
person a year! Newer develop
ments in soap, such as new de
odorant types, unheard of even
in our “modern” colonial times,
have brought deodorant protec
tion and antibacterial action to
the cleanliness routine.

MORE MEAT THAN CARS
How big is the meat business?
It’s so big that the 33 billion
pounds of meat produced annu

tonnage of all new autos pro
