8 Per Cent Expansion In Chick Buying Indicated For 1939
Farm poultry producers expect about 8 percent more hatchery chicks in 1939 than 1938 based on 22 000 USDA crop reporters. Increases vary by region with notable rises in the east north central seven percent in the middle Atlantic seven percent New England nineteen percent and the Rocky Mountain region twenty five percent. The south Atlantic twelve percent east south central twenty percent west south central fourteen percent and Pacific coast three percent. Last year actual purchases in some regions exceeded intentions but overall trend favors higher chick buying due to favorable egg and feed price relations.

Board of Trade Described as Study in Inertia
The Chicago board of trade is called a study in inertia as traders brood over regulation and declines in volume. The June 1936 commodities exchange act, the CEA and federal influence are blamed for a drag on trading and a shift toward government dominance. The Tribune notes volumes fell from 26.9 billion in 1925 to 7.5 billion in 1938 and lists famous names as bygone glamour in favor of federal control.
