Another Boost For Poultry.

The Poultry Department at the
University of Missouri, has been in
formed that the Food Research Lab
oratory of the Bureau of Chemistry
heretofore located at Nashville, Ten
nessee, and under the direction of
Doctor Mary f. Pennington and Pro-
fessor H. c. Pierce, is to be removed
to Sedalia, Missouri. The work OF
this laboratory consists OF studying
the marketing of eggs and poultry
from the producer to the consumer.
There is great need of such work
in Missouri. A conservative estimate
places the loss in eggs during single
year at SO, 900, 10000. A large per-
centage of this loss is borne by the
farmer and the loss is due to the aver
age low quality of eggs and the con-
sequent low prices.
One of the first steps will be to
organize the dealers in the state to
buy eggs on quality basis. The
elimination of bad eggs at the receiv-
ing station, where it has been tried in
this state, results in an increase in the
price Of eggs OF three cents per dozen.
This means that the producer of poor
eggs pays the penalty, and the pro-
ducer Of good eggs reaps
the reward. ( II is only on this
basis that the egg industry in
Missouri can approach its possibili-
| ties and Missouri is to be congratu.
