Say Eggs Will Be Higher Than They Were Last Year.

Eggs will be even higher this year than last, according to members of the Indiana and Western Ohio Egg and Poultry association, who met in a special session in Indianapolis Thursday. .The expected increase in the price of eggs is due, the association members say, to the severe winter. “There is no doubt in my mind,” said J. A. Long, of Portland, president Of the association, “that eggs will be much higher this year than last The season is late for one thing and the poultry has been injured by the excessively cold weather. Feed has been high and scarce and on account of this the farmers have been marketing an unusually large number of chickens already. More chickens have been marketed since the first of the year, I believe, than ever before.” J. A Long was re-elected president of the association, and Robert R. Reagan, of Indianapolis, was elected secretary to' succeed Frank Hadley, of. Seymour.
