PENS CAMPAIGNS: “EGGS
BEST BUY” REGARDLESS
OF RECORD HIGH PRICES
Poultry and Egg National
Board has undertaken a cam
paign to convince Mrs House
wife that although egg prices
have risen in recent months,
eggs are still an excellent buy.
In a special release to food
editors of the nation’s 512 lead
ing newspapers, Patricia Myles,
PENB director of home econom
ics, pointed out that even at 83
cents a dozen eggs are a better
buy than hamburger. That is be
cause the price per pound of
this high quality protein food,
even at a record high for eggs,
is only 49 cents a pound
By getting Mrs Housewife to
think of eggs in terms of price
per pound instead of price per
dozen, PENB is making it easi
er for her to compare the price
of eggs with the price of other
protein foods, most of which are
sold by the pound That way she
is less likely to start buying few
er eggs just because prices are
higher than they used to be
And if egg consumption remains
at a uniform level with produc
tion, prices will no longer fluc
tuate to the degree they did in
the past
Ten years ago consumers paid
twice as much for eggs during
the season of low productivity as
they did during the season of
high productivity. Miss Myles
noted m the release Since there
is now less variation in season
al production, there is less vari
ation in price In the not too dis
tant future there will be uni
form production and prices year
around, PENB predicts
How will this be achieved’ By
air conditioning hen houses,
Miss Myles explained In hot
weather older hens lay fewer
and smaller eggs When they’re
kept cool year around, they’ll
have no reason' to slow down '
