These so-called undergrade eggs, being sold as extras, to consum er, are being purchased below the established prices for top grade. More rigid enforcement of the state law regarding grading Is being de manded by local producers who claim tbat some outsiders are evading th Oregon statutes and bringing disaster TO tne inuusuy ana price. ( The selling of so-called undergrade eggs as well as the peddling by pro-1 ducers direct to retailers. Is resDon slble for much of the local disaster, according to E. J. Dixon, general man ager oi tne local co-ops. There was no chane In the en- era! butler market trade for the day on the open market for either cubes or prints, practically all offerings are oeing aosorDea at xuii prices. Northern Interests continue to hurt sales or cnicitens m the local trade as a result of forcing considerable light and medium weight hens on the market here. Springs and heavy hens ore in gooa can.
