Filtered Air Used
for Drying

The drying room is described as
embodying all the latest features in
the sanitary handling of this prod
uct. The air used in the drying
process is thoroughly filtered, being
forced through the drying apparatus
under heavy steam pressure. The
egg yolks or whites come out Of the
dryer in fakes, which are allowed TO
cool to a temperature slightly above
the freezing point. Then the prod
yet goes to the packing room, where
1t is placed in boxes lined with
waxed paper, which are stencilled
and made ready for shipment.
For the freezing Of eggs the
separation and straining are carried
out just as for the manufacture Of

dry yolks, only after the stralnlng
the large cans are taken to the
freezing chambers. Here the tenn
perature is kept close to zero, Fan
renheit. and the separate whites and
yolks are poured into cans standing
on racks that line the walls Of the
freezing chamber.
The cans, which contain thirty
pounds Of egg-either white or yolk,
as the case may be-are as sterile as
live steam at 100 degrees, cent?
grade, can make them before the
eggs are frozen in them. They are
packed two cans to the case and are
shipped as fast as cold storage ia
cilities can be secured on the steam
ers.
The demand for frozen eggs in
the United States is already large,
and is said to be growing rapidly.
The plants at Shanghai which ship
large quantities of frozen and dried
eggs to this country are regularly
inspected by the United States
health officer stationed in that city.
In the United States the expert
ence has been that each case of eggs
contains five pounds Of shells, eigh-
teen pounds of yolks and seventeen
pounds of whites. The Chinese egg,
being from a smaller and different
variety Of chicken, runs about 90
per cent of white. In drying the
egg it has been found that two
pounds Of yolk make one pound OF
flake, while it takes seven pounds OF
whites TO make one pound of dry
product, so that the whites are much
more expensive than the yolks.
By taking dry whites and yolks
in proper proportion and allowing
them to absorb the proper amount Of
moisture they can be made into an
omelet, scrambled eggs and, in fact,
any form Of egg dish except fried
and poached eggs. However, at the
present time they are used more
largely amorg bakers than in the
household.

strong inducement to the prospective
absentee landlord TO dispose of his
land to the prospective tenant much
of the speculative holding of land
would be quickly eliminated and
prices OF land to prospective pur-
chasers would much more nearly
equal their productive value. The
inducement to transfer Investment
from land to other forms of prop
erty would work no great hardship
TO the owner, because under the rural
credit law land mortgage bonds
would be available, as well as other
types of securities, the absentee own
ership of which does not bring such
serious difficulties in business man
agement as does the absentee owner
ship of land.

Land Speculation
Must Be Prevented

The passage Of the recent rural
credits law is step in the right di-
rection. But such law, without sc-
companying legislation TO prevent
land speculation, is likely to result
in increase in land values, thus de-
irving the prospective purchaser Of
the intended benefits. The passage
Of a law providing for land APP
praisal boards empowered to deter
mine the price at which the land
should be sold has been suggested.
Such legislation has been utilized in
foreign countries with success, but
il appears that the existence Of such
boards in America would be ineffec-
tive, for the reason that, unless they
had compulsory powers, the owner
of the property could not be COM
PEELED 10 dispose of his property at
any price lower than the one fixed
by himself. Land appraisal boards
with compulsory powers would
amount to practically land rstionali-
zation, a step which America is not
yet ready TO take.
The most hopeful solution appears
to be the control of tensntry through
the exercise Of the taxing power. If
the tax were so adjusted as TO give a

average age or the tenant class Is
rising and that from year to year
Fewer men are crossing the border
from tensntry 10 ownership. The
separation Of ownership from the
operation of farms involves a divi-
sion Of the total income from the
land. The rise in land values, re-
sardless Of what farm income inves-
tigators show to be the immediate
effect in comparatively larger re
turn to tenants than owners, can
only mean that ultimately the share
Of the income that goes to the land
lord will increase through rising
rents or will become permanent
burden on the land through the price
paid for it by the purchaser. The
effect in either case is to give TO the
landlord an increasing and perma-
nent share in what the land pro
duces and to give either 20 the ten
ant or 20 the future purchaser an
income which appears to correspond
closely 70 what skilled labor receives
in the cities. So long as land owner
ship does not give to the owner a
social status, as it does in some for
eign countries, the tendency will be
for prospective owners to purchase
land either at a price which will
yield rent return corresponding to
interest rates on investments else
where, or for a return due to the
speculative increase in the value Of
the land. The outlook for the ten
ants in America is not encouraging so
far as incomes are concerned, even
though for the time being they are
apparently the principal recipients
Of the benefits Of increases of prices
Of food products. The advantages
due to the farm operator that result
from the present tendency toward
adjustment of wealth distribution
between rural and urban communities
tend to go, not TO the farmer, but to
the farm owner, who may live in the
neighboring village or in the city;
and the hoped-for increase in eco
nomic welfare of the man with the
hoe, upon which depends those ma
terial comforts which the farming
population has so long lacked, and
which are recognized as the essen
tial foundation Of a satisfying stand
ard of living sufficient to make farm
life attractive, is tending to miss the
man who deserves it and to pass on
to the urban resident. Thus the
building of sound economic founda-
ton for a wholesome rural civiliza-
ton is being prevented by the in
crease in tenantry.
Considerable concrete evidence as
to the effects Of tenantry upon the
fertility of the soil and upon farm
management is already available.
The conclusion is inevitable
that both from the point of view of
preserving the fertility of the soil
and Of the most efficient farm man
aEement the advance of tenantry is
disa strous.

Tenants Allow
Farms to Deteriorate


In travelling through the prosper
Gus sections Of the Mississippi Val
ley one is impressed on every hand
with the evidences Of prosperity in
the open country. The large, we'll
kept residences, lawns. good barns
and other buildings lead one to be-
lieve that, after all, there is little to
fear from the changes in tenure
which the census records show. But
q closer view of the subject does not
give so attractive a picture. It is a
mattsr Of common knowledge that in
many Of these prosperous communi-
ties homes that were once the pride
Of owner operators have begun 10
show the effects of tenant occupancy,
and the evidence is that the future
will show these effects much more
wildly than they can be observed at
the present time.
The interest Of both owner and
tenant is to secure larger incomes
from the farm, and neither is inter
ested in providing the best living
conditions on the tenant-operated
farm. Tenants take less care of
the owners house than they would
II it were their own, and owners are
slow TO make needed improvements
for the sake Of the tenant. We are
still in the period Of development of
American agriculture when we are
using much Of the original equip
ment OF American farms. If the
primitive loghouse or the sodhouse
has been displaced by the more pre-
tentious dwelling, or if the old make
shift barn Of pioneer days has been
displaced by the red barn so char
acteristic OF the corn belt, these dis
placements belong still to the period
in which farmers were farm own
ers and home makers. The time is
inevitably coming when present
equipment will have passed its use
fulness. Then the real significance
Of the transition from ownership TO
tenantry will become apparent.
Either old tumble-down houses. the
ghosts Of former prosperity, in
habited by low-grade population,
willing to live in inferior quarters.
will survive, or a new type Of houses,
built for tenants, will appear. Farm

The Egg Upside
Down in China
II Sells at So Per Thousand, the
Older the Better. and Is Dried
by the Ton for Export to the
United States
IMPORTS Of egg products this
\ year have amounted TO about
n 100000 pounds, valued on

wear have amounted 10 about
II 100000 pounds, valued on
the average at about 10 cents a
pound. These products are import
ed chiefly from Japan and China
and include eggs that have been
dried, frozen or powdered. They are
used in this country principally by
bakers in the manufacture OF vari-
Gus kinds of pastry.
1t may astonish the American
housewife, who pays 90 cents a doz-
en- for eggs in winter, to learn that
in Shanghai, China, eggs are deliv-
cred at the doors Of the large egg
products plants for only SO Mexican,
or $3.50 gold, a thousand, and that
in the summer time the price some
times goes as low as twelve dozen
eggs for one Mexican dollar, APP
proximately 90 cents in gold. These,
however, are the prices quoted by a
writer in THE Far Eastern Re
view" and, what seems still more
remarkable, he explains that they
are the prices paid for eggs which
would be labelled strictly fresh
