Des Moines Dairy Chief Urges Egg Price Boycott
W B Barney state dairy and food commissioner urges consumers to stop buying eggs at current high prices to force a drop. He says once eggs pass 35 to 40 cents a dozen they are no longer economical and substitutes should be used. A shortage in supply and speculators are blamed for the rise. He cites bread and milk as economical alternatives and calls for reduced egg consumption to allow hens to recover. He notes that under 30 cents a dozen eggs are a bargain and above 40 to 45 cents they are a luxury.
