C.-long had to im'>ort its egg supply because the local protu cers neglected satisfy the critical demands of the aome consumers.

Have a large assortme able WVr COLUMBIA SUP >2 Woet Gervais Street a pronable opportunity in the pro duction of superior quality, fresh eggs for the local market. He made a small start with a flock of White Leghorns on a precipitous mountain farm. Gradually, he expanded his operations as he developed a demand for his quality eggs until at present he maintains about 4,000 fine White Leghorn layers and annually reaps big returns from his poultry project. This Missourian has blazed the trail and showed the way to the other egg farmers of his adopted com munity. They are now profiting by his example. They have found that a fresh egg sold the (lay after it is laid is the kind of a product that the-con sumers of Asheville desire. These ultimate users are willing to pay quality prices for quality goods. The roucers are ascertaining that it is is easy to produce and market strict pfre' egs which command top prices as it i: to neglect the eggs and market them at less than two thirds the quality price when they .re reveral weeks old. An organized xis ow taking the risk and error out of the egg-farming in the Ashcvie neighborhood. The local Farmers' Fe(ieration has lineJ up its .00 membcrs to specialize in the r'i-oduction of high quality produce for the home market. The consequen ces are that this southern farming d(istrict is experiencing remarkable prosperity even during the current era when general agricultural prices are low. It is the peculiar system of cross roads store merchandising that has impeded the improvement of our countrywide egg producing opera tions. The people in the country have been accustomedd to barter the eggs and butter produced on their home farms at the country stored of their sections for sugar, salt ca!ico and other essentials an.1 haries ef rural residence. The country mer chant deals in eggs to attract trade to his store. Generally, he pays lit tle attention to the quality of the eggs that he accepts in trade for his goods. With him, the egg trade is only a side line. The prices that he allows for the country eggs in many case are not true reflections of mar ket quotations. He realizes his in come from the sale of groceries, dry goods and sundry farm supplies and he can afford to lose money on his ,egg trade if need be. The great bulk of the so-called fresh country eggs have been trans formed into stale city eggs by the time they are, offered to the metro politan consumers. The country merchant does not want to offend his customers by questioning the age and quality of the eggs which are offered to him in trade. He takes the poor, bad and indifferent eggs, packs them all together and ships them to the city dealer. The good eggs are sacrificed with the inferior ones. The average quality of the case is measured by the number of poor eggs which it contains. During the time the eggs are in storage in the country warehouse, they continue to deteriorate. Often the rural mer chant holds them many days waiting until he has enough to make up a full shipment. He sells the eggs fi nally on the case dliscount basis at dIisountedl prices for the city buyer knows that he is purchasing a "pig in a poke" when he gambles with the quality of country case count eggs. This undlesirable practice--it is now tradlitional andl at, established custom in thousands of rural commun ities-has placed a sort of premium on the mismanagement andl neglect of the farm flocks and the eggs wvhich they produce. The farmer's wife who levotes extra care and attention to her flock and markets eggs that are really fresh and q1uality goods, re ceives no more for them at the coun try store than 'the woman who dis poses of eggs that come from stolen nests. The evils of the system are that the production of infertile eggs has been dliscouragedl while no at tempts have been made generally to make it profitable for the producers to gather the eggs and market them as soon as possible after they are Egg hucksters, who make a farm to-farm canvas buying up eggs which they, subsequently market in the city, buy and sell quite generally ac ording to the case count system. A few of them have now been won over to the use of candiling outfits with which they test the eggs' as they are purchased in ordler to determine whether or not they are fertile.

The indiscriminate marketing of eggs is one of the most serious draw backs which is checking the normal and natural improvement of the egg business. The U. S. Department of Agriculture, the state extension ser vices of the different colleges, the county agentsand innumerable farm ers' organizations are doing their best to eradicate haphazard, catch-as-catch can methods of producing and market ing eggs from the ordinary farm cal endar. Only universal action on the part of all egg producers will ever I result in the permanent blacklisting of the objectionable practices. As matters now stand, the farmer re ceives less than their true value for his good eggs while the'consumer pays more than he should for the mix ed lot of medium-quality eggs which he ordinarily buys. The expenses in volved in handling the bad eggs in crease the costs and decrease the prof its which obtain from the sale of the fresh eggs. Uncle Sam recommends the production of infertile eg' , care ful handling in production and mar keting, candling before selling and the demanding of quality prices for qual ity eggs as the practical methods of taking the doubt out of eggs market ing and of increasing the dollar and cents incomes which result from the business.
