REDUCE EGG LOSSES

IF farmers would realize that the
annual value of the country's egg crop
is equal to the average value OF It's
annual wheat crop-approximately
100000, ,OO0-and that nearly 8 per
cent of the eggs marketed are olst
through spoilage or breakage, the in
dustry undoubtedly would be put on
a more businesslike basis, says a Far
mers" Bulletin of the United States
Department of Agriculture, The Com
munity Egg Circle, recently reprinted.
Improper handling between the farm
and the market, the bulletin declares,
is responsible for large part OF the
loss. This loss, it is suggested, could
be greatly decreased If farmers would
cooperate more generally and market
their eggs through community egg
circles. These organizations take care
of the frequent collection and the
proper packing and marketing Of the
eggs of members, attend to account
| ing and making collections, establish
standards, encourage the raising OF
better breeds of poultry, the use OF
improved methods, and the production
of infertile eggs.
The bulletin tells farmers how to 60
about the formation of a community
egg circle and prints a suggested con-
stitution and bylaws for such an or
ganization. Copies of the bulletin may
