Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poultry and Egg Situation, Vol. 30: June 1, 1939 The feed - egg ratio (based on Chicago prices) has risen steadily during the past 2 months. This is in marked contrast to the sharp decline in the ra tio which occurred last year after April 16. During the 5 weeks ending April 15 of this year the ratio averaged 4 percent below the corresponding weeks of 1958, but during the first 5 weeks of May the ratio was 22 percent above last year and 5 percent above the 1928 - 57 average. In terms of eggs, it required about lé dozen more to purchase 100 pounds of poultry ration at Chicago during the week ending May 20 than in the corresponding week last year.
