Gives Directions
FOR packing EGGS
Department OF Agriculture
Points Out Faults in
Grating.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Nearly Z
per cent. Of all eggs packed in crates
and shipped arrive at their destination
in bad order. according to figures Just
obtained b. the Food Research Lab
oratory of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. This means that
on an average 24.96 eggs out Of every
30 dozen packed and shipped arrive at
the market either as cracks, dents,
leakers or mashers.
These figures we're obtained as a
result Of the individual examination
of 5000 dozen eggs before and after
study of the condition Of n carloads,
or over 500 600 dozen eggs shipped
from SO packing-houses in the corn
belt 70 10 different markets on the
Eastern coast The results OF this
study have been formulated in a pre-
liminary report which is submitted &c
the Join. committee representing the
egg shippers, the railroads and the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
These figures mean that in New York
City alone ll666s 267 eggs arrive at the
railroads and other terminals in bad con-
dition. This represents a breakage Of
2406 eggs in each of the 4,666,ll7 80
dozen cases of eggs which represent New
York City's annual egg receipts.
As a result Of the study the Depart
ment's specialists have issued the fol-
lowing preliminary suggestions for the
consideration of the egg-shipping indus
try: "Use only sound, strong, new cases
and new lids. Never reuse filters and
flats. Use more care in handling eggs
to prevent cracked shells; do not permit
eggs already cracked TO enter the case
Handle the cases more carefully. Take
no chances on the shifting of the load
