scr the claim that they are fresh. In
addit.cn, it IS claimed that the farmer
is in the habit Of selling incubator
eggs as the fresh product An incu-
bator egg, according to n member OF
the Pu-e Fooi commission, is one that
has been tried IN an incubator and
would not match out.
The complaint comes to the com
mission from Enid. the writer estimat-
ing that 50.000,000 dozen of the Okla.
homE egg crop goes into foreign
markets. The price IS from BE 10 &c
per dozen less than It should be, he
ccntenis, owing TO the poor rating
given Oklahoma eggs. He igurei
that the deception costs to the egg
trade $2.500,000 annually.
Practices such as indicated are vio-
lations OF the state law and would
be punishable as mlsdmeanor. The
commission has arranged for an an
notation Of the pure food law through
which the public will be informed as
TO its extent, and the penalties for It's
violation. City councils will De re
