las PLAN FOR EGG CIRCLES
Somewhat Novel Idea to Increase
Production Is Advocated by
Australian Expert.

A government poultry expert who
has just completed an extensive tour
of the several states of the Australian
commonwealth has issued recon-
mendations designed to increase and
cheaper the production of eggs.
The experts idea is, briefly, the
creation of egg circles" in the states
which have not yet adopted that
plan. One of the states has already
FL of these centers, consisting prin-
cipally of small farmers. The Sec
rotary of each center receives, tests
and grades the eggs, pays cash for
them at the current market rate, and
sends them to the government cool
stores. The government does the
marketing, and at the end of each
quarter any profits are divided
among the suppliers. The secretary
of each center receives one cent a
dozen for the eggs he handles. I'm
der this method there is no middle
mans profit. The grading and test
ing is very strict, and no egg under
two ounces in weight is passed.
The expert claims for his scheme
that it will increase the production
of eggs and table poultry throughout
the commonwealth by 800 per cent.

sentative Charles n. Fowler. of Eliza

ark lawyer. each filed petitions with the
secretary Of state to-day, declaring
themselves candidates for the United

provisions OF the act designed to make
the selection a subject OF popular choice.
1t was also announced that James z.
MARITIME, farmer orator." OF Plainheld,
would enter the lists with a petition to-
morrow morning.
Mr. Murphy and Mr. Fowler. with
former Gov. Stokes. who has already filed
his petition, are all aspirants for the seat
of Senator Kean. in the event OF the
next legislature being Republican. Mr.
McDermit and Mr.. MARITIME base their
hopes upon a turn in the tide which will
place the Democrats in control.
It is by no means likely that any single
candidate will receive the Endorsement

voters of the State. On the Republican
side Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Stokes are
likely 10 divide honors between the
northerly and more southerly counties.
