It , is possible thatthe introduc-
tion of the deficiency payment plan
frightened some producers "`into
disposing of their old hens before
the first of October; and this may
have had something to do with
the .apparent shortage. of the 'A'
'large eggs which resulted in; the
sharp increase in the; price over
the past few weeks, but 'it didn't -
last long. I. hope the producers.
,realize that the amount' above the.
floor will . now be used- to bring,
up the average price if eggs drop
below:for some period of the :year,;
This reduced produetion that
raised . the price was. soon Over-
come by the importation ,of eggs
from the United States. We were
told by the President of the .;On-

"car loads of eggs were brought in

never accepted the use of the 10 -

so, the Union does' not favor the

Dear Sir: Some years ,ago MY

to Huron county. 'I looked forward
with pleasure to •checking it at

ed in one of the best-appointed-di•n.-

One would get the impression
from the "smear campaign" that

it, --and the Sorry part, of it is that
