The . purchasing r power a farmer gets from sale of a dozen eggs is at the lowest level since the depression years of the early 1930's. Measured against general farm production and living costs, farm prices for eggs in mid-Jan uary were relatively lower than at any time since January, 1934. 2 i Retail prices for eggs-r judging by a ' government survey at Baltimore, Md., last week 143 the lowest since 1942. Most consumers probably are getting a far : better price break relatively rela-tively than they did eight years ago, because they have far more money to spend for food. Per capita income, after payment of taxes, is up 49 per cent over 1942. Lowest in 26 Years Egg production and consumption consump-tion are believed . to be running at a record-high rate for this time of year. Production always falls off seasonally in the fall. This seasonal drop in production may be greater than usual this year. Reports indicate that farmers, because of the low prices they are getting for eggsLare cutting back their, orders for baby chicks, a move that, could result in a greater great-er than seasonal rise in egg prices next fall and winter. . . - Farm prices for eggs averaged 31.3 cents a dozen in mid-January compared with 47.1 cents in 1949. In mid-January, sale of a dozen eggs gave farmers on an average only enough money to buy- 9.3 pounds of poultry feed, the lowest "egg-feed price ratio" in 28 years of record. Over the years, a dozen eggs ..generally has been worth 12.8 pounds of poultry feed. WAS HE IN DOGHOUSE! HILLSDALE, Mich.

Veterans Join To File Suit, OnGlChcc! By UNITED PRESS A lawsuit against the -veterans administration is being organized by World War II veterans in Utah who feel they are being shorted in their G. I. 'insurance dividend checks. A delegation from Spanish Fork appeared Friday in Salt Lake to seek legal counsel and to contact as many veterans as possible who are in the same "plight" as them selves, r They have scheduled a meeting for Thursday at the Spanish Fork national guard armory to discuss plans for the suit. Delegation members are Dean Tuttle, Allen Bowen, Milo Andrew An-drew and Allen Francis. They explained that the legal action contemplated arises from a pro- vision of the soldiers' and sailors' civil relief ? act of 1040 under which the government paid premiums prem-iums on policies with private companies up to $5000. - , The act provided that the government gov-ernment would pay the policy premiums and take a lien on the policy. The veterans administra tion now is deducting the amount paid by the government from the insurance dividend checks. In some cases, veterans receive no dividend and find themselves still in debt to the government for their insurance, the - veterans asserted..'
