EGG GAMBLING
Demonstration TO BE Given In This

Two Experts.

Egg specialists from the Kentucky
Food and Drug Department and the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture are scheduled to be in Maysville
on June 10 for the purpose of conduct
ing a practical egg handling demon
stration. This is free and open to
all persons in the community who
wish to learn the best methods in
handling eggs.
The purpose of these demonstra-
tions is to aid the farmers, buyers,
and shippers in Gambling, packing, and
grading of eggs so they may bring
better prices and meet the require
ments of the laws affecting the sales
of eggs.
Estimates show a loss of over 49,

poor handling of eggs. But more i'm

When this army of harvest laborers
Is taken from the cities to the harvest
fields a large additional force will be

in Kansas alone 10000 men will be
taken to the harvest fields. With this
in mind it was recommended at the
Kansas City conference that cam
paign be waged to enlist women of
the villages towns and cities to go
to the country and assist the farm
women in their work as men are as

all that it would be possible to secure
the services of many thousands of wo-
men to assist In this big work. In
many instances there are school boys
unable to pitch wheat. who could be
used to peel potatoes, carry water,
wash dishes and help in other ways,
and it was planned to enlist a large
number of such boys to assist in this
work.
