The obituary of Mr. .Charles Layton read as that of Mrs. Charles Layton throughout. The obituary should have read that Mr. Charles Layton, 89, who was born in Tucker- smith Township, died Dec. 25 in Toronto where he has been liv- ing for some time. He is survived by his sister, Mrs. Fred Pepper, of Clinton; a brother, Watt, of Bayfielci, and another brother,';.John, of London, Ont, census statistics, inchoate feW- er small flocks in Canada, Mr. Hill says. Eighty-two percent of the flocks surveyed had less than 500 hens; 98 percent. of 223,694 farms reporting laying bens in the 1961. census had flocks of less 'than 528. The same census is helpful in pinpointing (the .swing to lar- ger flocks, In 1961, 320 of the 223;694 producers, or 0,1 percent, had floOks of 4,973 or more hens, In the survey, 334-.--about two percent of the total number queried—reported having 5,000 or more. Significantly, the study revealed flocks of 40,000 and over, Size Increasing In general the study showed that 42 percent of Canadian producers surveyed have in- creased the size of their flocks since 1959; 34 percent have re- duced them, and 'the remainder have maintained flocks of the same size. Saskatchewan was the only province where flock reductions outnumbered Increases, the eco- nomist says, Forty-three per- cent of the producers there re- ported cutbacks, while 37 per- cent have enlarged their flocks. The greatest expansion in egg production has been. in British Oolurithia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland. Sixty percent of the British Columbia producers surveyed reported bigger flocks, 28 per- cent reported reductions. In the same order, the figures for New Brunswick were 58 percent and 27 percent, and for Newfound- land, 75 percent and 15 percent. Three factors most .influenc- ed a producer's decision regard- ing his egg operation, the sur- vey revealed. These were feed costs, current egg prices and the previous year's income, Replies to the questionnaire also showed that 84 percent of the producers considered eggs as• a "sideline" operation, Mr. Hill says. Most raised beef, cer- eal grains or hogs, or were en- gaged in dairying, in addition to producing eggs. Touching on marketing pat- terns, the survey showed that most producers sold their eggs to registered grading stations. Only 11 percent graded their own for sale directly to con- sumers: or to wholesale and re- tail outlets. Mrs J. C.
