OLEO SALES JUMP
THERECORDSSHOW
More Licenses Have Been
Issued Than Ever Known
in States History

From the fact that more licenses for
the sale of oleomargarine have been
issued this year than ever before and
from the fact that branch agencies are
constantly being licensed, State Off
ctals believe that more oleomargar-
inc is being sold now than ever known
in Pennsylvania. Approximately 1900
licenses have been issued for the sale
OF oleo, yielding a handsome revenue
which goes direct from the Depart
ment of Agriculture to the State Treas
ury and then into the general fund
without being applied to department
uses.
Oleo licenses ten years ago amount
ed to small item of business for the
dairy and food division, but the num-
ber has jumped since 1909 until they
have become one of the big revenue
producers for the department and next
year may make another record.
Agents of the Department will start
in December to enforce the State cold
storage law relative to the storage of
eggs. All eggs stored in April will be
ordered out of cold storage on the
corresponding day in December and
the same with May eggs when January
comes around. The agents have been
given Instructions to watch the time
limit on butter of which immense
quantities were stored last Spring The
inspectors will go to the offices of each
cold storage plant and examine the
receipt book for deposits and give no
tice that eggs not taken out are to be
considered outlawed and prohibited
from sale in the State. According to
reports immense quantities of eggs
viii be taken out of storage between
now and Christmas day.
Agents of the department are also
getting after sausage which has been
found to be adulterated in many in
stances and some of the samples have
been found so full of -four as to cause
arrests.
