AGE STAMPED ON EVERY EGG
Nebraskan Has Bill to Prevent Sale
of Bad Nest Produce-Heavy
Penalty Asked.

Omaha, Neb.-Senator Busby of
Kimball county has bill to be intro
duced in the Nebraska legislature to
stop the marketing of bad eggs. 1t
has been passed upon by the best law
yers in Nebraska, who say that if it
becomes a law its provisions can be
enforced.
The Busby bill provides for an egg
marking system, the purpose being to
keep an accurate record of their fresh
ness. To prevent fraud, heavy penal
ties are provided for false marking in
any manner.
Two years ago an attempt was
made to pass an egg marking law,
but majority of the Nebraska law
makers frowned upon the bill, as it
provided for an automatic device in
the nest where the egg was deposited.
The proposed law turns everything
over to rubber stamps and the persons
manipulating them.
The proposed pure egg law will
provide that when a farmer gathers
his eggs he shall stamp each one,
using indelible ink that the letters
and figures thereon shall show the
date on which the egg was laid. Then
when the egg goes to market the deal
sr on each egg purchased shall stamp
the date on which 1t came into his pos
session. No egg shall be sold within
the state, from cold storage or other
wise, that is more than sixty days
old. Penalties are provided for sell
Ing eggs that are more aged, and pen
alties are also provided for changing
the dates on an egg.
