WASHING SPOLS MANY
MILLION EGGS YEARLY
Water Ruins Covering That Keeps
Out Air and Germs.

approximately 5.O16,OoO dozen egg,
spoil needlessly every year in cold
storage simply because some one hn.
let clean eggs get wet or has washed
dirty eggs before sending them q
market. according to specialists OF
the Department OF Agriculture.
Careful Investigations of large
quantities of stored eggs show that
from Il to % per cent of washed
eggs become worthless in storage
whereas only 4 to S per cent of dirty
eggs stored unwashed spoil.
The explanation is simple. Water
removes from the shell OF the egg
a gelatinOus covering which helps to
keep air and germs out of the inside
OF the egg. Once this covering is
removed by washing. or by rain
which gets to eggs in the nest, germs
and molds find ready access to the
contents and spoil the eggs.
This enormous loss in storage eggs
largely can be prevented II producers
and egg handlers, especially during
March, April, and May. will refrain
from washing eggs destined for the
storage markets and take pains to
reduce the number OF dirty eggs by
providing plenty OF clean, sheltered
nests for their hens.
The department urges country
storekeepers and hucksters not to &C
cept washed eggs for shipment in
case lots. All washed eggs should
be sold locally for immediate con-
sumption.
