Poultry, Egg
Prices May
Drdp to ’66
Prices of poultry and eggs
nay slip a little toward die end
of 1906. This is indicated by
conditions that favor expanded
production in the early part of
the new year.
If this anticipated expansion
occurs. North Carolina State
University economists foresee
Some downward fluctuation in
prices as compared to prices
received a year earlier. N.
Higher egg prices were M
ticipated for late 1965 and early
1966 as prospects of lower feed
prices stimulate expansion of
production.
“Increased production may
limit the season rise in egg
prices below the 1965 level by
the last quarter,” says the econ
omists.
Looking backward, low egg
prices early in ’65 brought about
a seven per cent reduction in
the number of flock replace
ments. The number was down
by about two million birds from
October, 1964.
In 1966, broiler production
began about 10 per cent above
a year earlier. The market was
unusually strong in 1965 due to
less competition from red meats
and a rise in consumer income.
Demand for broilers will
benefit from shrinking red
meat supplies through the first
half of 1966. Greater produc
tion may cause prices to drop
below year earlier levels.
The N. C. State economists
add that lower prices may slow
expansion late in the year.
Competition from red meat sup
plies will increase by late 1966.
As for turkeys, higher prices
and lower production costs have
set the stage for an increase
in production. The 1966 crop
will exceed the record 1961
crop. Competition will increase
in early 1966 from broilers and
late 1966 from beef and pork.
“If expected expansion occurs,
producer prices will likely
average below the 22 cents cur
rently estimated for 1965.”
Fruit, Vegetable
Growers To Face
Bigger Demand
North Carolina fruit and
vegetable producers are expect
ed to share in the increased
demand for food caused b; pop
ulation and income growth.
Economists at North Carolina
State University at Raleigh in
clude in their 1966 outlook re
port a forecast for slightly
higher seasonal prices for many
fruit and vegetable items in the
remainder of the 1965-66 mar
keting year.
This should indude canned
vegetables as a group and spe
ficially corn, pickles, tomatoes,
tomato products and asparagus.
Slightly higher prices during
the same period are in prospect
for canned and fnwen decidu
ous fruit in general and canned
peaches and frozen strawberries
in particular.
“This should provide a strong
er demand for these commodi
ties for the 1966 North Caro
lina crop year,” the N. C. State
report says.
Good quality fresh apples
will commend seasonally strong
prices. Cured sweet potato
prices in early 1966 should be
slight]; below normal because
shippers and storers have with
held heavy stocks in their ef
forts to raise prices.
Hie economists point out
that, with average weather con
ditions nationally and favorable
labor supply in North Carolina,
growers should realize above
average revenue from larger
supplies of Tar Heel apples,
strawberries, pickling encum
bers and vine-ripened tomatoes.
The long-term outlook for
fruits and vegetables at least
temporarily places North Caro
lina in a favorable position, due
largely to a favorable labor
situation and shifts in produc
tion centers.
The state has an edge over
some areas in labor available to
harvest its crops of vine-ripen
ed tomatoes, sweet potatoes,
strawberries, blueberries, pea
ch* and apples.

Bf M. E. GARDNER
Cast week t began the1 an* -
nouncement of the All-America
flower and vegetable selections
for I960. We bad only space to ,
describe two, cosmos “Sunset”
and pansy “Majestic White with
Bloteh". We continue.
Pansy “Giant Majestic Mix- %
ed” is a carefully Mended for
mula mixture of many separate
FI hybrid eokjrs or varieties',
including the “White with :
Blotch”. TMa formula provided |
a well-balanced color mixture, '
all new giant varieties trill*
striking blotches, never before
offered. With the same vigor
ous plants, free blooming even
in hot weather, those who desire
striking assorted eolors and
largest flowers on sturdiest
plants will delight m 'Giant
Majestic Mixed’. Start seeds af
pansies early and set out plants
as early in spring as soil can
be worked in cold areas. They
are usually hardy through most
southern winters.
Sweet William “Red Mon
arch” blooms as an annual If
is the first and only seif or
solid red Sweet William. It is
sown in early spring for sum
mer blooming, or in the fall for
early spring blooming. Flowers
of rich scarlet red with white
stamens are borne in well
rounded clusters surmounting
erect healthy green plants. It
reaches about 10 inch height
from spring sowing, about 16
inches from autumn sowing.
Usually a biennial bedding
flower, ‘Red Monarch’ also
brings us a highly useful cut
flower.
Snapdragon “Bright Butter
flies” is a formula mixture of
separate FI hybrid colors or
Varieties in this new class of
garden snaps. The wide and
well balanced blending of col
ors really resembles a garden
of bright butterflies. Instead of
the tubular throated snapdrag
ons, these are open faced, the
dwarf Peloric or Juliwa type as
known in Europe. But, with
Bright Butterflies, we have
vigorous hybrids of three-foot
height, midsummer blooming
like the previously awarded
Rocket snaps, with long spikes
of open faced flowers. Stocky,
base branching plants produce
to a* dozen frolar spires. Cut
back after blooming or cutting,
they produce a second or third
crop of flowers during the sea
son. They should make snap
dragons more popular than
ever.
Verbena “Amethyst” Call
ed mid-blue, this is the new and
only sky-blue dwarf compact
verbena. Flattish flower clust
ers of 2 3/4 inch diameter near
ly blanket the cushion-like 10
15 inch spread of six-inch
plants. Most everybody wants
blue flowers and there are so
few, especially low and com
pactly growing for edging
walks, patios, borders and for
low beds. Here they are, uni
form and neat cool and invit
ing. Edge a border or bed of
marigold “Spun Yellow” with
verbena “Amethyst”.
No Sale
Modoe, Norway — When a
young man in sweater, overalls
and rubber boots walked into
an automobile agency and told
the salesman he wanted 16
cars, the salesman walked
away saying, “I have no time
for jokes.” The customer went
across the street to a rival
dealer and paid $70,000 cash
for 16 cars for his fellow crew
man of a Norwegian trawler.
