EGGS SHOULD Be
PROPERLY PACKED
Local Insurance Agent Suggests That
More Care Should Be Taken In
Sending To Market.

AT one time the payment Of Iosse:
caused by fire or the elements consti
tuted the sum total Of the business Of
big insurance companies" said c
Donnan Holzmueller, the local agent
of the Hartford Fire Insurance Com
pany to a reporter of this paper. "But
times have changed. No longer is an
insurance company satisfied to simply
collect premiums and pay losses. To-
day cooperation with property own
ers for the prevention of financial loss
is an important part of the service of
the big companies, particularly of the
Hartford.
Take the matter of loss caused bv
eggs broken in shipment to market.
for instance.
Nobody would imagine that an in
surance company would give thought
to the losses of farmers because eggs
are broken, yet recently special study
has brought out the fact that it is
the long eggs that have caused most
of the trouble. There is a demand for
the larger eggs, especially for the
city hotel and restaurant market, but
it seems no thought has been given
to standardization and neat selling ap-
pearance. As a consequence, eggs 21b
and even "a inches long have been
packed in the Old-fashiOned honey
comb filler, which is only 21A inches
high and not deep enough to carry the
extra sized eggs safely. Where care is |
not taken in packing, the ends of the |
long eggs prOtrude above the filler |
and when flats or the usual excelsior
pads are put in and the cover nailed |
on prior to shipping, the ends of some |
Of the longer eggs are crushed, and /
somebody loses money.
80 the insurance company, as a
part of its policy of preventing loss
wherever found, points out that the
way to safety in shipping eggs is:
"1-sorting to size
"2-using filters Of the proper
size to fit the various grades.
"3-give attention to the appear
ance of the goods, for selling ap-
pearance will take care of the
slightly increased cost of the deep s
filters. I
In investigating the problems Of
eggs the insurance company t
found that sand blast is in success
,ul use at Petaluna, the famous egg S
producing point in California for T
cleaning eggs. The principal is the
same as that used in cleaning articles a
If stone or metal, and eggs cleaned \
With sand carry we'll. OF course ship
)ers know that washing eggs with n
water is not practical as it removes d
he natural coating that seals the
hell and makes it air tight" c

ed IS 9Un OF the area assessed, and the
column Ia this table Of cane production
per acre harvested" is based on this as
sumption. The same data is shown
graphically on Plate l.. From a study of
this graph it is seen how the ane yield
responds to the rainfall; the production
for any one year being the result Of the
previous years rain /. must be bone
40 mind, however. that even in the best
rainfall years there are very dry months
that greatly retard the growth of the
cane. and that with a little irrigation dur
ing these dry months the cane yield
would be materially increased even in
the most favorable years OF rainfall.
"A. It is the opinion Of the roana-
ger Of the La Grange Sugar Factory. Mr..
George Fleming. that 50inches 400 lineS)
of rainfall per annum, If properly dlstrr-
buted. is sufficient for good cane produc-
ton; and ii is the opinion Of Mr.. FoImer
Andersen, manager OF the West India
Sugar Factory, and who is probably the
closest student Of the subject on the Is
land. that 50 inches (480 lines) per an
rum is necessary and is sufficient for
good production.
Is. fIUm a study of the above facts,
and with giving due weight to the opin-
ions,Ot these men, and also keeping in
mind the predominant fac that it is not
physically possible to very crafty Ire
crease the water supply above the mean
annual rainfall and at the same time pro-
vide for an area sufficient to make irri-
cation feasible, il is the conclusion to
adopt a net duty or requirement on the
land of 480 lines per annum, including
beneficial rainfall to a maximum of 40
lines per month. The water requirements
are assumed to be distributed equally
throughout the IL months. and any month
in which the rainfall is less than 30 lines
the deficiency is to be supplied by irriga-
ton.
90. Regarding the question of the
proportion to ne irrigated in any one
season of the total area benefited by irri-
cation, it is said by the planters that
1917 of the area in cultivation is harvc y
ed each season and that this area needs
water 9 to 10 months out Of the year;
that $3.50 of the area is planted each year
and that this will need lrr CATION during
the driel months; and that the other so
is faIlow or is occupied by buildings. etc.
It is estimated that this will be equiva-
Isn't to the requirement for the coEtinu-
gus irrigation Of $40 of the area bene-
fitted.
