DR.. Brown stated that he short

friend in one of the smaller towns OF
the state, in which the letter inform

city wholesaler in an adjacent large
city forty-two dozen eggs and had re-
tailed them as products right Off the
vine.

wagons and go around over the city
palming themselves as being right off
the farm, and their eggs as the very

Not long ago one of the retailers
in the city told DR.. Frazier of this de-
partment an instance of man try

He said that man, seemingly

several dozen eggs. The retailer was
leary of bogus goods, and so asked
him for his name, and the farm from
which the eggs came.

that In some places in the Southwest
wheat is being piled on the ground to

the ability Of the railroads to supply cars.
