Outlook Indicates Poultry Farmers Should Sit Tight
The 1937 outlook for poultry farmers warns against over expansion or sharp reductions in laying flocks. County agent A. J. Brown notes some flock liquidation due to scarce feed and high prices, with egg storage below normal and winter production likely lower than last year. Egg output may match 1936 in spring and exceed it later in 1937, keeping prices near last year through winter then rising in spring before easing again.

Extra holiday staffing is approved for the post office with Raymond Helfer appointed.
