Scott County Farm Activities and Egg Production Outlook
Scott County faces rising egg prices driven by strong demand and tight supplies. A county extension briefing notes 1941 production at 53 million pounds and 1942 needs at 115 million, with housing for hens identified as a bottleneck. The Farm Bureau event in Benton features farm products, judging rules, and reminders on exhibit quality. Plans emphasize home canning and preservation to support defense needs and school lunches amid expected increases in demand for canned goods.

Nine hundred and two Scott county families made 1621 mattresses and 1428 comforters. Materials came from the Federal Surplus Commodity Corporation. AAA County Committee approved all applications while the Extension Service taught applicants. Ernest Hanselman and wife were appointed to supervise centers. Mattresses are standard full size for two persons and should improve health status among low income families. Lifespan of mattresses and several years for comforters are expected with proper care.
