Egg DownGrading
Costs Producers

Down-grading OF eggs is costing
many Virginia producers LOT Of
money
Agricultural economists at VPl
point out that the market price for
Grade A large and medium eggs
has made substantial gain in the
past month or so But the egg check
for many farmers is remaining
about the same Most eggs are
Grade A when they are laid. but
some Of them are BIS and C's when
they are delivered to the grading
station.
Down-grading can be costly
luxury to any producer and hot
weather can cause egg quality to
take d tumble,
lii July on the Harrisonburg mar
ket there was a price difference Of
IS cents a dozen between Grade A
large and Grade B large eggs. lii
Richmond and Roanoke the price
differences We're III and II ID cents
respectively Somebody is losing
quite a sum Of money BY down
grading since the weather turned
hot, the economists say.
A Virginia study indicated that
good commercial egg producer
should average around IS per cent
or 80 per cent Grade A quality eggs.
with maybe % or more OF the total
falling into the Grade A large class
Producers who have q good egg
room and follow recommended man.
agement practices should not be
troubled much by hot weather. the
economists say.

adequate. and dependable. II you're
in doubt about the purity Of the
water supply, check with a repre-
sentative Of your local health de-
partment. Check the rate Of flow Of
your spring OF well. Check the depth
from the surface to the water level
II Your source is Well
Don't assume that Just because a
wen has always supplied enough
water BY hand methods that It Is
satisfactory for an electric pump.
When water is pumped and carried
BY hand. only about 10 gallons per
person per day are used. With mod
ern plumbing and equipment, this
figure may climb to so gallons per
person per day. And more water
will be used for poultry. livestock,
and other needs when ii is always
easily available.
II the source Of water is satisfac-
tory, you are ready to decide what
pump capacity to use. Estimate
your greatest demand for water at
any one time and select a pump
which will deliver it. The pump Sc
iected should be capable OF supply
ing your total daily needs for water
in two hours of pumping time.
Compare the pump capacity Sc
lected with the yield OF your spring
or well. If the flow OF the source is
greater than your peak demand,
there is no problem But if the peak
demand is greater than the yield OF
the source you will need to provide
extra water storage. II the source Is
spring. water storage can be pro
yided by installing reservoir be-
low the spring. Then connect the
pump to the large reserve supply Of
water in the reservoir. II the source
is q well. you can install pump Of
low capacity to deliver water from
the reservoir to the piping system
Compare this two-pump method
With the estimated cost Of drilling
a deeper well to get an adequate
source Of water. Choose the method
that is most economical ior your
situation.
