over the 3rd place spot by the
end of this year.
In 1962 eggs were Georgia’s
third-ranking income-produc
ing agricultural comm od i ty,
, contributing s9l million to the
. state’s record farm income of
I slightly over $B3l million. On
! ly California. Pennsylvania,
1 and lowa produce more eggs
i than Georgia.
A Cooperative Ext ens io n
| Service market information and
! outlook specialist this week
i cited some of the factors con
| tributing to the shift in egg
i production from the Midwest
to Georgia and other South
Atlantic states.
Paul C. Bunce of the Univer
sity of Georgia added that a
large part of the force for
change has been spent, and pre
dicted that shifts in the future
will be at a slower pace.
lie told Georgia producers
that they must depend on ad
vantages in production and
marketing costs to meet com
petition in the future, and
urged them to base any ex
pansion on proven low costs.
Mr. Bunce said little change
is expected in the number of
layers early in 1964. But he
added, however, that the rate
of lay is expected to be up
again. He gave as the reason
for this the continued shift
from farm flocks to large com
mercial operations with hens of
better breeding and more close
ly controlled management.
Citing the shift in egg pro
duction, Mr. Bunce pointed out
that in 1955 the South Atlantic
states supplied nine percent of
the national egg production.
“For the January-August 1963
period these states supplied
15 percent of the eggs.”
He listed five factors contri
buting to this change:
(1) Population has been
growing faster in the South
Atlantic region than in other
areas, with the exception of the
West.
(2) Reduced transportation
cost has allowed producers in
the South Atlantic region to
purchase Midwestern feed in
gredients at prices that made
their total production costs I
comoetitive.
(3) The South Atlantic re- i
gion until recently was a de
ficit egg area, producing less
eggs than were consumed in
the area. This allowed expan
sion at prices that were favor
able because of transportation
costs for competing eggs.
(4) As broiler production
became less profitable, many
facilities were shifted to layer
operations at small additional
cost.
(5) The decline in egg out
put in the Midwest has come
as a result of declining num
bers of small flocks as compe
tition made these operations
unprofitable.
MORE EGG MONEY
One way to improve income
from laying hens is to use less
feed to produce a dozen eggs. Ex
tension Paultryman Jerry Cox
says getting a feed conversion of
4. instead of 4-1/2. can result
in savings of as much as 30 to
140 cents per hen for the laying
I year.

A Technicolor
Christmas
The little top-hatted snow
man waves aloft the end of his
scarf in a saucy view-halloo,
as if saluting the oncoming
Christmas season.
Before him is a tiny Yule
tree topped by a brilliant star.
Beside him, framed in another
panel, is a snug-looking little
। house, its window Christmas
, wreathed, its chimney emitting
a curl of smoke.
You’ve recognized the dual
picture! The jaunty snowman,
\ and the festive little house,
gaily colored in bold reds and
blues against a background of
big snowflakes, are enlivening
this year’s Christmas Seals.
With the color and gaiety they
' contribute, festooning your mail
with 1963 Christmas Seals is
sort of like greeting and gift
ing your friends in technicolor.
But of course Christmas
Seals do more than just deco
rate. For nearly six decades
the Christmas Seal has been
a rallying banner in the fight
against tuberculosis and other
respiratory diseases. The gift
of health, hope and happiness
goes with your Christmas card
when the postage stamps on
, the front of the envelope are
accompanied by lavish strips or
blocks of Christmas Seals on
l the back.
And speaking of postage, this
■ year for the second time the
Post Office Department has its
own messengers of Christmas
gaiety in the shape of cheery,
colorful Christmas stamps.
Both Christmas stamps and
Christmas Seals belong on your
mail —the one to pay for cart
ing it to wherever it’s going,
the other to carry forward the
fight to eradicate tuberculosis
and control the other respira
tory diseases.
