More Profit From Eggs
Our egg producers are pretty
happy these days. Egg prices are
the best they have been in a long
time. Also its good to see them
getting a better price for eggs
especially since egg prices were
below the cost of production most
of last year.
Since the outlook for egg pric
es during the next several months
looks good, we’d like to remind
our producers to do eveprthing
possible to keep production up
and take advantage of these satis
factory prices. At present prices,
$20 per month more profit can be
realised by increasing egg pro
duction five percent per 1,000
layers. Of course its pretty hard
to increase production on most
flocks that have already reached
their peak in production. On the
other hand it should be . ealized
that a drop in productioi can
cause a corresponding loss of pro
fit. And that’s where most pro
ducers can do something.
First, consider that the pre
sent egg-feed ratio, that is the
cost of feed as compared to the
price received for eggs is now
very favorable to the producer.
That means we can afford to
feed just a little more in order
to keep production up. Adequate
feeding will become more impor
tant as the weather turns colder.
Next, if those laying houses are
not ready for cold weather, get
them ready. The weatherman has
been too good to us thus far this
fall. We’re bound to have to catch
up with some cold and rainy
weather before long. Laying
houses must be adequately en
closed to prevent drafts but must
have good ventilation to keep
down excessive moisture in the
house. Excessive moisture is per
haps onQ of the chief causes of
respiratory infection in layers
which can cause a severe slump
in egg production.
Keep the litter dry in the lay
ing house. Wet litter probably
causes more disease troubles in
layers than any other one factor.
Many producers use a motor pow
ered garden tiller to keep litter
stired and aired at weekly inter
vals. Some also practice feeding
oats by throwing them on top of
the litter daily. In scratching for
the oats, the hens help keep the
litter stirred.
Remember that hens must have
plenty of water, even in freezing
weather. Use electric warmers in
the watering troughs, if possible.
Finally, gather eggs frequently
and carefully to both keep the
eggs clean and prevent breakage.
A 3 to 5 per cent loss due t o
breakage can cause considerable
loss of profit at present egg
prices.
Most of all, remember that the
main reason egg prices are good
is because the demand for eggs is
strong at this time of the year
and the supply gets smaller. The
producer who can keep his birds
at top production during this time
is the one who makes the profit.
1960 Year End Tax Management
Many farmers do not have to
worry much about paying income
taxes. This is true simply be
cause on many farms expenses,
plus depreciation, equals or ex
ceeds income.
However, for those farmers who
do anticipate having to pay in
come taxes for this year, it might
be a good time to do a little fig
uring on ways to keep down your
taxes as much as possible.
Remember that as income in
creases, the tax percentage in
creases. The best way to mini
mize tax is to keep income on an
even keel, not fluctuating from
year to year. Properly applied
tax management techniques, com
bined with sounl farm management
practices, can level income and
expenses, saving you perhaps
many dollars. If income in 1960
may be higher than expected in
come during 1961, then you will
w-ant to consider taking advan
tage of several practices that
w-ould adjust either income or ex
penses to the best applicable year.
For instance if income this year
is higher than you expect it to
be next year, you may w r ant to de
fer sale of certain crops or live
stock until after January 1, 1961.
Another way is to increase ex
penses during this year if this
year is expected to be a higher
income year than next year. This
can be done by purchasing a part
of your next year’s fertilizer or
other supplies before the end of
this year. Thus by shifting in
come to 1961 or by bringing ex
penses forward to this year, the
margin between income and ex
penses can be narrowed and may
result in a tax saving.
Remember too, that the best

BIRTH OF A SON
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Dawkins
of Greenville announce the birth
of a son in the Greenville Gener
al hospital Nov. 28. The Dawkins
have two other sons, Mike and
Benjie. Mrs. Dawkins is the for
mer Freda Lester. Mr. Dawkins
is the son of Magistrate and Mrs.
Ben F. Dawkins of Newberry.
way of all to keep track of al
lowable expenses and other de
ductions is to keep an accurate
farm account record. If you have
not done so this year, by all means
plan to start such a record at the
first of next year.
Turning the Corner
As we wind up this year’s farm
ing activities, it seems only nat
ural to reflect on what has hap
pened during this year. Some
farmers have had a pretty good
year, others have not fared too
well, income-wise, that is.
Some seem to think that' a new
administration in Washington will
solve a lot of the farmers’ pro
blems. This we believe is a bit
too much to hope for. Regardless
of what programs may come from
Washington or elsewhere, we be
lieve it will require about the
same things next year as were re
quired this year to make satis
factory profit from farming.
From our viewpoint, it seems
that it is those farmers who re
alize that farming is now a com
petitive, strictly business propo
sition are those who continue to
be successful. Times change and
so must farmers if they are to
stay in business. We hear a great
deal about efficiency today. And
that must be our watchword if
we are to continue in a competi
tive business. However, it seems
that too many farmers think this
means spending a great amount
of money to change or modern
ize their present operation. This
is not necessarily true. Efficiency
means making the best possible
use of the resources a farmer has,
including land, labor, equipment
and capital.
We feel that certain changes
can be made on most farms with
out spending a great deal of mon
ey that would make it more effi
cient. We urge you to give some
thought to this idea in making
your plans for next year.
