TELLS WHY ALABAMA
EGGS ARE INFERIOR
Blackboard Comments on the
Work Done at Missouri
Experimental Station

I'VE get a fair grade of eggs from
Alabama. but the best eggs come from
Missouri and Tennessee" said f. w.
Blackford of the William f. Donavan
Co, on Morris avenue yesterday "And
to that fact I attribute the need of
a state experimental station to fur
Their enlighten the Alabama farmer on
the proper sanitary care of poultry and
eggs. The federal government has a
bureau of animal industry station near
Nashville, Tenn, which serves the pur-
pose for the Tennessee farmer and
poultry man. But the ideal station that
l have in mind is the one I visited
some time ago at Mountain View, Mo-
There the state of Missouri has ac-
CURED 100 acres of high-grade farm
ing land for an experimental station
in poultry and eggs. Experiments are
going on all the time, conducted by
scientific experts in the breeding of
poultry. seeking which are the best
hens for laying and which for food
also the care and handling of eggs.
All the data gathered by these experts
Is printed into neat bulletin, which
is mailed to all the Missouri farmers
and chicken farm men.
Not only from the bulletin does the
Missouri farmer get scientific informa-
| ton regarding his poultry and eggs
but he visits the station and sees for
himself the latest and most scientific
methods of breedings hens. Daily farm
ers from surrounding villages, towns
and counties arrive and spend the day
in OF w ifl1a t.tt
station under the guidance of lectur-
ers who explain all methods. Such
campaign of education cannot help but
bring results, for Missouri has the best
grade of eggs and poultry, with Ten
nessee not far behind.
alabama eggs are improving, for
the Alabama farmer is progressive and
he sees the folly of having his hens
roaming all over the farm laying eggs
In any old place. Such conditions are
gradually disappearing in this state for
the farmer realizes his loss in money
from such state of affairs Hens un-
cared for gather disease and die. Eggs
laid on the hillside. in the fields and
gathered at the leisure of the farm
hand are often dirty and rotten. All
of this is monetary loss to the far
mer. We dealers do not lose on poor
eggs. The farmer ships his eggs to
us and We grade and candle the eggs.
We buy the good eggs and the rots and
the dirty ones remain a loss on the
farmers hands, which proves consid-
cradle If the proper sanitary condi-
tions do not prevail.
Il have great hopes for Alabama as
future egg and poultry market.
There is no reason why we should
not have as high grade eggs as Mis-
souri, and Tennessee. With a state ex-
perimental farm expert data can be
furnished the farmer and the Alabama
farmers natural progressiveness Will
soon put him in the lead In eggs and
poultry as well as in crops
