"There is something wrong when we have a surplus of eggs and can't get them to market", he added. "Just at the moment our produce-rs are caught badly, and the stores and cooperatives are in the sume position. The danger is that our farmers may be obliged to kill off their hens and not raise any chickens, and they will not then be able to meet the demand when the egg market readjusts it- self."
