OverviewExcerpt from Poultry and Egg Situation: November 7, 1938 The outlook for 1939 points to an increase in poultry and egg supplies. The expected expansion of the industry in 1939 may lead to some temporary contraction of production in 1940. Unless unfavorable conditions intervene, however, the swing of production over the next 4 or 5 years is likely to be upward from.the relatively low levels of the past several seasons. The high point in numbers of chickens on farms, around 475 millions, was reached in 1928. Since that time numbers have declined to about 587 millions in 1938 due to droughts and disturbing economic conditions. In view of the volume of production of the poultry industry at its peak in 1928, it seems reasonable to expect some re-expansion over the next few years. While the increase in population over the past decade would require some increase in average production if per capita consumption is to be maintained, the trend toward increased efficiency of layers has been such that former levels of pro duction can be attained with fewer birds.
