Poultryman Carl Frisch knecht of Utah State Agricultural College urges farmers to keep pullets and convert them to laying hens this summer to boost egg supply for Uncle Sam's food for defense program and producers' incomes. He notes no current shortage but a future risk, citing Army needs and overseas shipments.

He stresses withholding pullets from slaughter and notes brighter prices if broiler demand is balanced, also mentions gains in chick placement but slower farm inventories for June 1.
