New Egg Regulations Effective March 1

New Territorial egg regulations will go into effect March l, throughout Alaska, according to James Wilson, Territorial Com missioner of Agriculture.
 The regulations will require that eggs imported to the Terri tory be inspected prior to ship ment and that all eggs sold in the Territory shall be graded and labeled to show the grade, size, and name of packer or produc- CT.
 Wilson pointed out that the regulations have come about be- cause the Department of Agricul- ture has found such variation in the quality of eggs being of fered to the public.
 From meetings and hearings that have been held with produc- CTS and suppliers, here and in the States, we have found that most fthem are most seriously inter ested in improving the egg in- dustry and are definitely behind the regulation program" Wilson stated.
 Egg producers will receive cop ies of the new regulations. Cop ies are also available at the De- partment of Agriculture office in the Wright building.
