Thoso aro two conclusions reached by spoclnllsts of tho Unltod Suites department of agriculture as tho re sult of n series of experiments with cold storago eggs recently reported. Tho eggs woro produced mainly In the middle west, mid nil woro. stored In warehouses In tliu onst Other conclusions reached nro ns follows: Preservation In tho sholl of under grade ogfis, Including thoso that tiro dirty, cracked, leaking, hontod or stale, should not bo attempted. If not murkotod for prompt consump tion, tho contents should bo removed under propor conditions und frozen. Tho frozen product will koop lu good condition for n year or moro whore thero would bo n marked loss by spoilage In a few months It tho oggs woro stored In tho shell, Spring oggs on tho market nro usually froshor than summer eggs, nnd for that reason kuop better In storage. Most of tho ogiss storod aro produced In tlio spring. .Selection .Method Inefficient. Tho common method of grading from current receipts by inspection', mid by clicking to determine cracked sholls is Inofllclout.

J. Overturf, recently aiecieufpresiucni, saia inai it was yet too early to make a statement ro gardlngv the plans for tho Improve mont at the property, but that as ioon a?; tho board of directors could mceli tMvs matter would bo taken up for full consideration. As to tho Bin Hereof membership, a commlttco Is now--working on that detail. All former .members of tho club ao to be given an opportunity to Join. After that' has been determined, it Is .likely that tho club will bo ono of limited membership. As to the character of tho club, Mr. Overturf said it was designed to mako the Kmblcm club purely social In character and to carry It along lines similar to thoso which made It u featuro under W. D. Cheney, of Seattle, its father. The '.property has wonderful possi bilities 'for an organization' of this character and an effort w.ilt bo made to mnko tho most of these possi bilities. Of tho nverngo of 1S.5 bad oggs to tho caso of eggs when selection was based on clicking, after long periods In storage, nino wero due to direct spoilage of damaged eggs or to their contamination of neighbor ing eggs by molding. Tho deteriora tion of tho balanco was charged to deleterious prestontxa conditions, such ns dirty, stained, washed, or honied eggs, many of which could havo bcon eliminated by candling. ChniiKttl During Ktornirc- Tho rata of evaporation of mois ture from eggs was remarkably uni form during tho storago- period, averaging from throe to four ounces u caso a month In all of tho storago rooms under observation, Tho mois ture Qvnporntcd from tho eggs Is con densed on tho brtno pipes and ab sorbed by tho ulr, caso and fillers. Most of tho absorption of moisture by tho egg package occurs during tho first few months in storago. Eggs that, nro fresh whon stored show after storing on increased air upaco and often a tlnga of yellow In tho whlto. Tho yolk mombruno Is slightly weakened, but commorclal separation into whlto, and yolk Is easily accomplished, oven nfter 11 months In storage Tho porcentngo of nmmonlacnl nitrogen In oggs Increases during storago, tlio rlsu bolng fastest in tho early part of tho storago period. Tho amount of ummonlucal uitrogou In eggs Is u good Indus of chemical deterioration. Present evidence indicates that the cold storago tusto which begins to dovolop about tho sovonth ml) nth lu storago. and becomes stronger tho longer tho eg-gu nro stored, Is duo to tho nbsorptlon of odors from the surrounding environment mid par ticularly from tho strawbonrd flllors, KxporlmeutH to prevent absorption of tlio tnsto from tho llllors aro. in progress, Tho detailed results of tho Investi gations uro embodied in i bulletin, "Commorclal Preservation of Egss by Cold StoVngo," to bo Issuod ns Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 775. tagoVthaTiJr' of W. l5:Chency, 'madeiMcontly, that Jf the club rwero INCREASE OF POWER HINTED K.

To make a Purvey of tho situation hero, esti mate tho city's needs, and tho best manner of meeting tho demand, his present visit lo Bend Is due, but he admitted that bo Is not certain as to just how an increased power supply Is to bo produced. "Our plans navo always been to go south of Bend for further power development," Mr. Miller stated, "but tho company has always had in mind tho larger Interests of Central Oregon, and must bo careful not to undortako any policy which would interfero with stata and federal 'Irri gation work. Our problem Is a com plicated ono on account of this, and wo cannot mako a definite announce ment to tho people of Bend because wo bavo arrived at no definite solu tion ourselves." Interest Felt In City. Mr. Miller emphasized the need of "keeping ahead of tho came" in public scrvlco work, and declared that it is always the policy of the Bend Water. Light & Power Co. to try to anticlpato tho needs of the pooplo it serves rather than to wait until the demand i presented before making improvements In service and in qunntity of power available fqr delivery. Ho -expressed himself ns being sincerely interested in tho city's future, and mentioned that many of his associates in tho cast aro closely watching tho growth of tho Central Oregon city.

"I did not know what tho exact dobt was, nnd consequently I watted until an export accountant could go over tho books before paying up," ho said. Iu addition to tho warrants which woro brought into tho recorder's ot tlco, Mr. Ellis stated that ho had ap proximately $500 worth, which had boon Issued to him from month to month in payment of his salary. When ho mado a payment of $2004.31 to tho city, on April 15, ho had recently purchased soma ot tho warrants which went to mako up tho total, using a certified check mado to tho rocorder's oftlco to buy up the additional warrants. Tho amount, however, was meroly nominal, ho said. As to tho $386,25 which still stands against him ou tho city's books, according to Accountant Mux Crmidall's financial report, Mr. Ellis declares that this part ot tho account hits not boon audited, mid that ns soon us It la ho will bo ready to pay overy coin which It is found lie owes. In connection with his using war rants to mako his payment iu April,, ho states that ho did so on Mr. Cran- Mall'a advlco. "Tho city can't refuse Its own paper," ho said.
