EGGS VALUABLE FOR FOOD.

College Park, July 26.-PoultrymaD
Roy H. Waite, Of the Maryland Agrt
cultural Experiment Station, calls the
attention of poultry growers to the ad.
Yertising value of the high food value
of eggs. Mr.. Waite says: Recently
hIll-naged. colored advertisements
have been appearing in most of the
leading women's magazines, telling
how a certain kind Of baking powder
will take the place Of eggs. These ad.
vertisements say nothing about the de-
creased food values. During the win.
ter the newspapers Of the country con-
tanned many accounts of boycott OF
eggs on account of high prices.
Eggs contain considerable quaint
ties of protein, and, if not too high in
price, have a wide, etc, ETC., etc This
was quoted from recent publication,
and Is the way the value Of eggs as
compared with other similar food prod.
ucts is usually handled by writers on
the subject If not too high in price
What is high in price?'
"a few years ago eggs sold at q
very low price, and consumers do not
seem able to forget this price. II they
could only be made to appreciate the
full value OF eggs as food when com.
pared with other similar food sub
stances, consumers might look upon
eggs with a little different attitude.
They might consider them at their
true worth as compared with other
foodstuffs.
There has never been a campaign
made to teach the consumer the value
Of this product The only large or
ganization devoted to the interests OF
poultry has almost completely neglect
ed this field. while spending its
energies upon stimulating a greater
production.
NOW that the poultry raisers are
being induced to show their patriot
ism by raising large quantities of poul-
try products, it is only fair that some
attention be given toward educating
the public to appreciate the value OF
these products and an appreciation OF
what the poultry raisers are doing for
the country. In general, 1t may be
said that dozen eggs are worth just
a little more than a pound and one.
| half of meat; thus with beefsteak at
81 cents a pound, eggs would give an
equal amount of nutriuve material at
! the same price when selling at 4S
cents dozen A pound and one-half
of steak would cost 4S cents and would
be equal in food value to one dozen
eggs. There are, however. other
things to be taken into consideration
here. Eggs can be prepared for use
much more cheaply, and they will go
| further in serving
1T Is certainly time that consumers
| learned the value Of eggs SO that they
can give the poultry raisers their due.
