BIG EGG LOSS PREVENTABLE
Consumer Compelled to Pay Higher
Price for That Portion Which
Finally Reaches Him.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In marketing poultry and eggs there
is an euormous preventable loss In
Quality and value between the produc
er and the consumer. It has been
conservatively estimated that this loss
amounts annually to $75,000,000 In
poultry and $45,000,000 In eggs. While
this loss falls upon all who handle
poultry and eggs It Is borne chiefly by
the producers and the consumers. The
producers' loss, caused bj a decrease
in price, under present conditions rep
resents that due to spoilage or poor
quality. The consumers' loss Is due
to a curtailed supply because nf th
pouuds pf poultry and dozens of eggs
mat are eitner or poor quality or
totel loss; hence the consumer has to
pay a higher price for that portion
which finally reaches him. -
