Predict Egg Prices
To Average 5c Higher
In Next 12 Months
U S faun egg puces for the
12 month period beginning Julj
1 are expected to aierage about
fue cents per dozen abo\e the
preceding 12 months, accoidmg
to a report released recently b\
the Poultry Survey Committee
It was also estimated higher la
bor. interest, and feed costs
would eat up about 1 cent a doz
en of the increase
The report went on to predict
a 10-15% increase hatch of egg
type chicks during the first half
ot 1969 as compared to the same
period of this year Increases at
or above this level of hatch
would likely lead to over-expan
sion in the industry and subse
quently depress egg prices
U S farm turkej prices during
August-Novembei will likely av
erage 21 5 to 22 cents, about 2
to 2 5 cents per pound higher
than during the same period of
1967 Most of this price increase
for the new crop will occur dur
ing the latter part of the August-
Novera'bei period
July - December nine city
ready-to-cook broiler prices maj
average about 1 cent per pound
higher than a year earlier Julj -
September prices may average
26 5 to 27 cents while October-
December prices maj av erage
24 cents
