EGGS

From Business Chronicle, Seattle
Residents of Pacific Northwest need
70 be reminded once in awhile that
This region produces eggs of the finest
quality in the world. Eggs shipped
from Pacific Northwest have prefer
ence in New York and other great
markets of Atlantic Seaboard, which
would seem to justify all claims that
they are unexcelled. 1t is very COM
mon knowledge that this region sup
plies the high-class markets of the
world with apples of superior quality
and pack, but also have recognized
reputation for supplying the select
.rade with superior eggs. BY way of
reminder that this is true, the reader
is urged to scan these statements pre-
;ented by N. G. Westerfield in Pacific
Poultryman, Seattle:
Eggs from the Pacific Northwest,
which includes Oregon, Washington,
and portions of Idaho, have earned in
The great consuming centers of the
country, even among the entire At
lantic Coast, more than 1000 miles from
The point of production, the enviable
position of being the highest quality
eggs being sold in any of the eastern
markets and actually command
premium over locally produced eggs.
Ordinarily long journey across the
continent will lower the quality of
eggs; not so with Oregon and WASH
ngton eggs. Even then, the handicap
of distance has no terrors for the
poultrymen of the Pacific Northwest.
There is no doubt that climatical
conditions are exceedingly favorable
for the production Of qualit. eggs, eggs
that are properly sealed with close,
well-knit shells that protect the con-
tents and permit long distance trans
portation without deterioration, and
the very fact that eggs from the
Pacific Northwest do arrive in the
eastern markets in prime condition and
sell at a premium, is ample proof that
we owe much to favorable climate.
ut often occurs that the people of
given locality are not aware of the
advantages possessed by their own
section and fail to take advantage of
Of all that natural advantages offer
and therefore fail to capitalize, or take
advantage of their rightful heritage.
Some people even doubt and refuse
to believe that their locality really
does possess such advantages and for
these doubling Thomases we will offer
little proof and this proof comes from
the university of great state, whose
poultrymen are compelled to meet the
competition of our western eggs, even
though these eggs have gone through
the ordeal of a long haul clear across
the continent. yet, in the face of the
strongest competition are sold in the
most exacting markets, to the shrewdest
buyers in the world; and these eggs

IA letter was recently sent out by the
University Of New York telling their
people how our western eggs are taking

or rather preferred before their own,
and actually closes the article with
words something like this: We must
admit that their splendid position has
been gained through quality What
more do VIC want to convince ourselves
that right here in Oregon and Wash
ington is the very locality where we
can produce eggs of quality that sell
anywhere in the world after their
value has been established, and sell ut
