L. Whyte Says. The recent announcement of the Federal 'D.epartment. of Agriculture that the Special Products 13oard had increased their paying price for eggs by, ,five cents has resulted in the sug- gestion thee the action is costing Canadian consumer about two million dollars a month more for their eggs by putting into effect what is termed a contra -seasonal boost in egg prices.' This is incorrect according to W. I.. Whyte, Seaforth, chairman of the Poultry Industry Committee of On- tario, who pointed out that the five cents increase in the 'paying price of the Special Products Board simply means the floor price foe eggs has been increased by five cents. How- ever, at the present time eggs are selling above the fleer price because the domestic demand for eggs is tak- ing all available supplies. In addition the increase is not contra -seasonal, for it is a normal thing for egg prices to increase during hot weather of summer, when old hens are just about finished laying and most of the pul- lets are not yet started. "Eggs still provide what is probab- ly our cheapest protein food, or if you like, main dish," Mr. Whyte said, "A dozen eggs weigh a pound and a /half and there are very few meats selI-ing at a price per pound compar- able to the price of a dozen eggs. In other words, egg prices can still rise quite a bit before they are in line with the protein foods with which they compete."
