Miss Douglas Sass Egg Producers
are Sleeping on Their Rights.

Miss Zeila Douglas. who lives on
the Ferris pike near Rocket, was
in town this morning interviewing q
number al the business men and citi-
zsns win reference TO the organiza-
ton OF an Ellis county egg club.
She said she had been In conference
with Mrs Marshall of Dallas county
ard learned that the Dallas county
egg club has been doing a wonderful
service TO egg producers, and she
didn't sec any reason Why Ellis
county farmers and poultry raisers
could rot be likewise benefited. She
explained that the purpose of such
IN organization was 10 raise the
standard and bring better prices
for the eggs. She said the present
ystem OF marketing eggs causes the
careful producer 10 share the losses
high the careless producer. which In
/ ner opinion was altogether the
wrong method She thought the
person who sells bad eggs should
stand the loss.
In commenting upon the proposed
association Miss Douglas said there
were certain rules and regulations
to be observed by those who sold
eggs. which would insure better
prices and a higher standard she
drst OF all said 1t was essential TO
take the BOOSTERS Away from the
flock, use china nest eggs. gather
the eggs twice each day and keep
them in a cool place to oe marketed
three times each week
When talking OF the proposed as
soeiation for Waxahachie she pro-
posed that the club be called the
"El-co Choice. which IN time
should become recognized as a label
which guarantees quality.
