To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Three- fourths of the eggs sold, for example, came from flocks of 100 to 300 hens, and the average size of flock was just over 100, which produced only about one case of eggs a week. Large flocks with a predominance of the light breeds of chickens tended to be located in the northern part of the region; small flocks with a pre- dominance of the heavy breeds tended to be in the southern part. The most important type of outlet for farmers in the region was the local produce station. These station...s bought about 40 percent of the eggs sold by producers. At the first sales level, the percentage was more than twice as high west of the Mississippi river as east of it. Prices varied considerably, both by geography and by basis of pay- ment. From west to east there was a gradual rise in egg prices, and in all crop-reporting districts except four, producers received more for Grade A Large eggs than for current receipts. Producers in districts adjacent to large consuming centers received the highest prices for eggs, whether for current receipts or for Grade A Large, because they capi- talized on their favorable location by selling to institutions and directly to consumers.
