EGG MARKETING
Sir,—Mr T. S. Dove and Mr MeGlinchy know the reason why the egg producers are pulling down their fowlhouses. Why all this sparring and where is the 3d a d9zen above 1941 price? Producers selling to city stores on June 4, 1941, were receiving for heavy 2s 9d, firsts 2s 7d, seconds 2s sd. The Egg Floor is paying 2s 5a and top price to the consumer is 3s 4id. This explains the famine, and the sooner the Egg Floor and the Poultry Board are put out of action the better it will be for the producers. The Hon. J. G. Barclay says that if the egg market was entirely free producers would be gettting 100 per cent, more than stabilised prices. Let the Government take over the Egg Floor and pay producers last year’s store prices if Mr Barclay wants to save the egg industry from dying.—Yours, etc., OLD GAME. June 7, 1943.
