The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-01-15
Editor The Times:

Editor The Times:
A legislative bill requiring storage,
preserved and foreign eggs to be
plainly stamped or stenciled as sug
gested by recent meeting of the
housewives of Seattle has long ap-
peared to me to be the most impOr-
tant step-the first thing to be done
in checking present abuses, and it is
to be hoped that with a moderation
in prices the ladies will not allow
enthusiasm to lag. With proper
provisi ons for its enforcement this
will prevent the most fragrant and
despicable frauds that affiict the con-
sumner.
To prove that combinations of local
and country wide dealers exist is
another matter. To provide for the
proper supervision of the healhtful-
ness of poultry products is still
another phase that in time no doubt
will be taken up and successfully
solved.
Both producer and consumer are
robbed when grocer buys two cases
of fresh and two cases of storage and
by mixing them has four cases Of eggs
he sells as fresh. Under present con-
ditions this trick is as easy as rolling
off from log. Two eggs for break
fast-one fresh and sweet, the other
rank, means something wrong some
where.
Numerous legislative bills have
died at Olympia intended to remedy
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-01-15

stir themselves now to help the poul-
try raisers, while at the same time
assuring a better grade Of eggs for
their own tables in the cities.
1t doesn't look right for the women
of Seattle and other cities to be
clamoring so strongly for the reduc-
ton of the price on a commodity
that nets the producer so little profit,
and large proportion OF the pro-
ducers women. These same ladies
who objected TO the winter price of
fresh laid eggs at time when not
five per cent of the hens throughout
the country we're laying were paying
35 cents a pound for steak at the
same time without murmur. That
