PLAN TO STOP The WASTE IN EGGS

Chilling Of eggs to 60 degrees Fair
chase as possible, was advocated
Most eggs are fertile, and the life
germ will deteriorate fast if not
chilled. Even in infertile eggs the
bacterial growth develops very soon.
Wholesalers were urged to equip their
plants with the latest cooling machin-
cry.
All second-grade eggs. heated,
shrunken or cracked. should be mar
keted as often and as near the source
as possible. These are usually dessi-
Gated or frozen, and are used by con-
fectiOners and bakers.
Before shipping, all eggs should be
carefully rehandled and those badly
"checked"-that is, with shells
cracked--should be removed Packing
in standard cases is recommended. 10
prevent breakage. Eggs should be
gathered by farmers daily and market
ed at least twice a week.
Cause Of Many Scandals.
The practice of selling poultry with
feed, sand or gravel in their crops
which is paid for by weight with the
bird, is discouraged. This crafty de-
vice has caused many scandals in the
industry, and several municipal inves-
legations, notably one in New York.
Dressed poultry should be sold with
the crop entirely empty. All birds
should be kept in sanitary coops and
yards, and rs soon as dressed should
be chilled to 40 degrees, or lower. to
prevent bacterial growth.
The conference passed resolutions of
support for the whole food administra-
ton program. including federal license
for dealers.
