Eggs are holding up the price pretty
we'll and would be higher if the farmers
would be more careful in sorting their
eggs. When the dealer ships his eggs to
tile city he knows that each egg will be
''canded'' and all bad ones thrown out.
This loss together with those he culls out
before shipping cuts down his margin OF
profit many times SO low that it would
take powerful glass to discover it. We
believe if only fresh eggs were marketed
that the price would materially rise.
