Sometimes cleaning v adiustment will eliminate or
alleviate a trouble spot But there will always be insults
Oyster shell is extra msurance that you’ll have strong
eggshells to help minimize the results of insults

Price! were generally unchanged. The
market tone was steady. Demand covered
the full range, and was mostly moderate.
Supplies were adequate or available with
the heaviest sizes occasionally difficult to
secure partially due to molting and slaugh
tering the older birds. Breaking stock sup
plies were also adequate for the unaggres
sive demand. Live hen offerings were fully
adequate for the unaggressive demand.
