Nermillion.-The state food and
drug commissioner is taking vigorous
methods to enforce the law against
the sale of rotten eggs in South Da-
kota. A prosecution was made at De
Smet of a buyer who makes it a
practice to purchase eggs as they
come and sci them without Gambling
or other sorting. Inspector A. Prest-
wick, of Summit, secured the evidence
and the offender plead guilty to the
charge. Other cases are under inves-
tigation and further prosecutions may
be expected. A campaign of educa-
ton is being carried on for the i'm
provement Of conditions at the pro-
ducing end Of the egg business, in
placed in nearly every grocery store
in the state copies of a placard fur
nished by the United States Bureau
OF Animal Industry. This placard
shows plainly the different effects Of
heat on the fertile and infertile eggs,
and points out the advantages of pro-
ducing infertile eggs
In addition about 10000 copies of a
department bulletin dealing with the
care and handling of eggs have been
distributed through merchants among
the farmers of hte state.
Most Of the commission men of the
state now buy eggs on the loss off,
basis; that is, they pay for good eggs
only. A few. however, still pay for
the eggs as they come. rot and all. If
is the latter class of buyers that the
God and drug department is trying
to discourage, as methods
careless handling of eggs by the coun.
try merchants, who. in turn. are not as
strict as they should be with the farm
ers who furnish the eggs.
