Fewer Hens, Eggs Forecast By Fall Poultrymen Plan On Cutting Flocks WASHINGTON (INS) —Fewer hens H*d fewer ergs by fall. Agriculture department experts said today that the present outlook indicates chat by Oct. 1 poultrymen may reduce their laying Hocks by six to eight per cent from the level at a year earlier. A cut at that site could have a rather substantial effect in pushing prices upward, especially with the holiday season just around the corner. The reduction, however, very probably will be, offset in part by the fact that egg production per hen has been rising for a long time and thia trend is expected to continue. The fall prospect has helped to bolster prices through . April and into the first half of May because , there have been reasonably large purchases of eggs for storage in anticipation of lower production this fall. In the broiler industry, prices have declined somewhat since mid April as ;< result of the larger number of birds coming to market. Placements of broiler chicks in April were the highest ever recorded and indications are that May placements wiU be large —alaa. — — Agriculture department marketing specialists expect a slight increase in broilers ready to market by June or July, but they also ‘ DID YOU SEE Mansfield Motor Sales—FßEE Offer in Today’s Paper?

Commission Votes Self From Existence New Harmony Group Turns Over Funds INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —The New Harmony memorial commission has voted iteelf out of existence and turned its *93,000 over to the general fund. The 16-year effort to restore the 19th century experiment in communal living tai Posey county became the ward of the state conservation department but there was some question that the funde could be used for the memorial by any body other than the commission. Carl Mullen, Indiana AFL president from Hammond, who is a member of the New Harmony commission, charged that lack of cooperation on the part of residents of the Posey county community hindered the project. Indiana University president Herman B. Wells, who also is a member of the commission, said he would be happy to appear before state fiscal officers in support of appropriation !n 1957 to continue the memorial.
