The proceeds from the eggs pro-

ant item TO the farmer. Last year
It amounted to over s12.0O0.0OO. Ac-
cording 10 statistics. however. about
100000 worth OF eggs were lost by
the farmer. due TO improper methods
OF marketing.
The loss came from the sale OF
small, dirty. broken. stale. rotten and
incubated eggs. The reason these
eggs were sold was because of lack
Of difference In price in favor of
fresh eggs.
Last winter a law was passed max
Ing II unlawful TO sell stale or rot
ten eggs as fresh eggs. and in order
to comply with this law. the buyers
commenced quoting loss of" prices

fresh eggs, for which they pay their
