Outlooks Pttre forecast for six months at a time" 'due to mfl.iy influencing factors. I Eggs:? Prices of eggs during the first t,ix months of 1032 may be ex pected to average about the same as in- 1931. With production and receipt likely to be slightly less than during :the preceding year, prices might be expected to exceed those 19?;L> but the reduced .demand for- consumption stoi^e -purposes, during. ,tJ\e ? ? cbuirteg^^ jihe lower prices jlomw i general price level will tend to off set the infulence of moderate receipts. Poultry: ? There will be a substan tial increase in broilers during the winter and spring, as the result of profits during 1931 and cheap feed. Broiler prices during most of 1932 are expected to average lower than in 1931, as the result of increased pro duction, larger storage stocks and curtailed consumer purchasing power. Although prices of eggs and poultry have decliined to about pre-war levels, the prices of feed hive dropped even more. .Poultry raisers must get ac customed to the lower prices that are likely to continue for the next decade and plan to produce to sell at the low er price level. As South Carolina is a deficit poultry producing state, with thousands of cases of eg"?? shipped in hroughout the year, there is an op portunity for increased production to meet the demand for fresh eggs in the local and nearby markets and to supply a larger portion of food for the home needs. Keep production costs down by the following means: '1 ? 'Hatch all chicks early. 2 ? Start with strong B. W. I), test ed chick*. , 3 ? Use economically constructed brooder house and brick brooder. 4 ? Use good home-mixed feeds. 5?-j Carry out a sanitation program of management. ' 6 ? Push chicktf for rapid develop ment, and sell cockerels as soon as they reach 2 pounds in weight. 7 ? Develop pullets on good range (alfalfa, cow peas with com, s?">y beans or bermuda sod).
