DO AMERICAN POULTRYM EX I
NEED TARIFF PROTECTION?
Millions of Chinese Eggs, Produced
by "Scavenger" liens, l)umi>ed
on Markets of United States
Annually.
(By B. E. Adams, Charleston, S. C.)
President South Carolina Poultry
^ . Breeders' Association.
J future of the industry is
?ied by Oriental competition."
saj tine rrotection or the roultry
Industry" committee of the American
Poultry Association. This committee
has filed a brief with the House ways
and means committee favoring a
tariff on eggs, egg products and poultry.
This Is a problem worthy the
^ serious consideration of every one
interested in the poultry industry.
"".While the industry in the Southern
States is not seriously threatened at
this time by the importation of Chinese
eggs the breeders should not be
too hasty in criticising the egg farmer
of the Pacific coast because they
are seeking protection for their products.
Harry H. Collier, oT Tacoma,
Wash., one of the leaders in the poultry
world, stated in a speech before
the American Poultry Association at
ivansas last August tnat poultry
breeders in the interior and along
the eastern coast could not possibly
realize what poultry men were up
against along the Pacific coast." Mr.
Collier told of how shiploads of eggs
from the Orient were dumped on the
market at prices far below the cost
of production of the American product
The large number of poultry men
foiming the committee now at work
for national legislation represent every
section of the country and have
made out an interesting case. They
show that "eggs are produced in
China from Scavenger hens and are1
j in principal Chinese markets at
prices ranging from 4 tQ C cents per
dozen in normal times, and at prices1
ranging from 6 to 12 cents in abnormal
times."
The American farmer cannot profitably
produce and market egps in
normal times at less than 25 rents
per dozen. Yet the new laid, strictly
fresh, clean, sanitary egg he produces
must compete in a way with the
small unsanitary, aped, cold storage
product from the "scavenger" hens
of China. There is absolutely no comparison
In the value of the two. True|
it is the fresh laid epps brinp a premium
over what is termed "the market
epps." At the same time the price
to be paid for the first class product,
is reckoned according to the quotations
for the shipped or foreign product.
Imports of epps and egg products
increased from $1,577,471 in 1914 to
$16,268,293 in 1921 based on import
value. This increase, in the face
of heavy shipments tQ Europe during
the same period, indicates greater increases
in American imports when
'~*urope returns to normal sourc ? of
supply.
In the past the principal imports
have been in the form of frozen and
dried epps. but recent developments
in snipping facilities make it possible
to import shelled eggs in unlimited
quantities under refrigeration at low
freight rates. One recent shipment arrived
in New York consisting of 6,000
tons of eggs and egg products.
Transportation rates from the Orient
to the United States are less than
fieight rates from principal producing
centers to New York markets, according
to figures from traffic
schedules.
Many breakfast plates on American
tables would be left untouched if
the prospective diner could gaze
across the Pacific and see the conditions
under which his questionable
egg was produced. The fowls are aliwed
to eat whatever they can find,
^ result being that all manner of
Uf caved stuff is consumed by the hen$
El\s are not gathered regularly but
remain in the foul nests for several
d days before being collected, boxed
and shipping to the brokerage houses

| When a cargo has been assembled it
|is sent down to the waterside, and
jthere awaits the arrival of the "oceun
going perfuniebator." The eggs are
ai last loaded into the hold and the
journey starts. After many days or
possibly weeks the ship reaches an
American port and then the profiteering
begins. These eggs costing only
a few cents per dozen to produce
und deliver in the United States are
dumped on the markets at many
times their cost, which is even then
below the price at which American
poultry men, keeping their fowls under
sanitary conditions and using the
best grain food, can possibly produce
eees.
In addition to the great quantities
of shell eggs being imported into the
United States from the Orient thousands
and thousands of pounds of
frozen or dried egg products are
shipped in. These tire used in tiie
great baking establishments of the
'country and in other manufactured
j products. This great inflow of foreign
material naturally lessens the
.demand for the home raised products.
I The American poultry man pays a
,tax on his farm, building, incubators,
brooders, wire, trucks, feed and everything
else he uses yet a foreign
pioduct is allowed to glut his market
and pay nothing for the privilege.
| Every six dozen eggs produced in foreign
countries and consumed in the
j United States puts an American hen
out of business. "Shall we kill the
lien, that lays the golifen egg?"
The census for l<i?n siimvc
[ sonic of the States in the Union have
| less poultry now than they had ten
years ago and in most of the States,
from which the census returns are
|a\ailable, less chicken s were roared
in 1910 than 111 1909. This together
| with the important effect of the reJ
cent large receipts in New York city
| of sixteen thousands cases 0f Chinese
i eggs within a month on a falling mar(
ket when eggs dropped -10 Cents per
dozen within two weeks time should
i he sufficient to make the members
j of thc poultry fraternity sit up and
i think about protection for the industry.
Although there wore other contributarv
factors, the Oriental eggs
had a marked effect in lowering
prices.
The poultry industry is one of
America's most important agricultural
enterprises producing $1,250,J
000,000 wealth annually. I t supports
1 many industries entirely and contrl|
butes largely to the support of others.
| Ii is estimated that more than $600,000,000
worth of grain and grain
products are consumed annually by
the American hen and her family.
With the hue and cry of starvation
one hears from China it would appear
that the millions of eggs shipped
to the United States might be
used to better advantage in the Orien.
