Zs > ® Luzerne County Hens Help Farm Income Higher Hens of Luzerne County have con- tributed materially this year in as- sisting farm income to the highest level since 1929, Estimates indicate that the farm gross income in 1941 will exceed eleven billion dollars for the first time in 12 years, two bil- lion higher than in 1940. Heavy production coupled with a favorable market means that in- come from eggs should exceed $600,- 000,000, The nation’s hens are ex- pected to produce forty billion eggs this year, on the basis of produc- tion figures assembled at the Chi- cago Mercantile ‘Exchange.

Chain stores, which last year purchased more than a third of the eggs produced in Pennsylvania, report consumer de- maind holding rather well, aided by higher national income and mass distribution methods which reduce the spread between producer and consumer prices. The favorable price situation is illustrated by the fact that, as an average this season, only 5.84 doz- en eggs have been required to buy 100 pounds of poultry ration, com- pared with 7.51 dozen last year. The equivalent of more than 200,000,000 dozen eggs in shell, froz- en or powdered form has been pur- chased since the lend-lease bill passed. Quality campaigns, resulting in a better grade of eggs in Pennsyl- vania, have brought about increased purchasing by the mass distributors. One chain, bought 6,173,000 dozen Pennsylvania eggs in 1940. Production in Pennsylvania is ex- pected to exceed 177,310,000 in 1941, with Luzerne County contrib- uting more than 1,650,000 of this total.

Army Planes Sighted The back mountain countryside was startled on Monday afternoon when the air was riddled with the pounding of the engines of seven army planes. The planes were flying so low, some of ‘the spectators wondered whether they were U. S. planes or enemy planes that were bent on destruction. As they passed out of sight with no disastrous results they that they still enjoy security with Uncle Sam keeping watch over them, Postmaster Resigning Lewis Hackling who has been postmaster in Noxen for the past eight years has resigned to take the seemingly inferior position of rural mail carrier, When explanation re- vealed that the new position meant more than double increase in salary it did not appear so inferior. Mr. Hackling has relinquished his school bus route along with the postmastership and is still bettered financially. Mr. Hackling has served the pub- lic commendably and his genial per- {sonality will be greatly missed at the post office window. He started his new duties Thursday, January 15th. | Mrs, Chona Fritz will be acting postmaster until a future appoint- ment is made. !
