Show 111 PRICES ARE PAID FOR EGGS The Weber County Farm Bureau bulletin says: "All of the egg dealers of Salt Lake City are npw paying the producers $20 per case or G6c per dozen for eggs. When a commission of ?2 is allowed to the wholesale dealer and ?1.50 to the retailer, it brings the price to the consumer con-sumer of $23.50 per case or 78c per dozen. This price seems high an to some may seem unwarranted, but when the high cost of feed and general maintenance, and the loss sustained during tho past year and a half by the poultrymen, arc accounted for,- it will i be found that even at these figures tho price, of eggs is not in proportion to the price of. other materials." |
