Cooperative Cream and Egs
Routes


While in Lee county recently
the writer met Mr.. Joe Barrett.
the driver of a cream truck that
hauls cream from GuntoWn to
Tupelo. We suggested to him
that he encourage his patrons to
add eggs to the enterprise. Not
any old eggs, but real good
freshly laid eggs, clean and guar
anteed.
On the same trip, one good
lady came into Tupelo and en-
gagged her eggs to an e%nterprising
citizen at a uniform price above
the market. These eggs are now
delivered through Mr.. Barrett.
This suggestion is not a new
thing by any means. 1t has been
tried out and proven successful
in many instances. Such a thing
as a fresh egg in hot weather,
delivered directly from the farm
twice per week, is attracting city
housewives These eggs may be
handled in Tupelo by the cream.
cry or by some local merchant if
the creamery does not care to
take it. Such eggs are worth a
few cents more per dozen than
common eggs and the housewives
are willing to pay the extra price
to get eggs that are absolutely
fresh, newly laid and handled in
sanitary cartons.
Miss Lena Bolt. county agent
in home economies, will gladly
cooperate with any community
in this matter and help in grading
and packing these eggs in the
proper cartons for delivery in
dezen lots.
One hundred pure bred we'll
fed hens on every farm in Lee
county will do more to help tide
over the change that is sure to
come on account of boil weevils
than any other live stock with
the same amount of Investment.
Again, the returns come daily.
They will take the place in money
income of three to four bales of
cotton when prices are ten cents
per pound and seed in proportion.
As proof of the above state
ment, we give the following re-
port from Mrs. j. P. Castles, bf
Sessums, who is a member of the
Go cooperative Egg Selling Asso-
citation. and whose husband is a
member of the Creamery Asso-
citation.
Mrs. Castles has kept 80 hens
this year in compliance with my
request to keep 100. She reports
for the first eight months as fol-
lows:
Eggs sold for breeding purposes

Eggs sold at market prices 122 Oh

No account is taken of the
hundreds of eggs used at home
and the many broilers eaten at
home, nor the Is pulle.s and %
eockerels on hand yet. She can
sell the stock on hand for more
than a dollar each. Some Of you
may think that is high, but she
has good stock and my demand
for such stock warrants me in
saying she can sell for more than
q dollar each.
