This paper is issued for the pur
pose of giving information and
news of the Matanuska Valley Far
mers Cooperating Association’s
work, problems, accomplishments,
and also hews of local and gen
eral interest; and to help foster
the cooperative spirit of the
farmers of the Matanuska Valley,
According to photographs and ex
periments the Poultry Tribune
warns us against keeping e^gs in
a warm room for even a short per
iod before shipping or marketing.
Eggs kept in a warm room 2 days
at 80° p. begin to deteriorate
and if kept in a warm room 6 days
are unfit for the market* While
fresh eggs placed immediately in
a cool place for a w ck in good
refrigeration 45 to 50° pt will
be in first class condition for
market. When improperly cooled
eggs reach the consumer and they
are opened for consumption, the
mistakes that have been made are
revealed quickly. Since good
eggs are the best assurance for
greater egg use, the producer has
a great opportunity on the farm
to market eggs of high quality.
Seme of the simple precautions
every egg producer should take
are: first, eliminate ell roost
ers from the flock of laying hens.
Second, ‘gather the eggs carefully
once a day and twice is much bet
ter; third, place the eg^s immed
iately in a cool place till taken
to market. Never keep eggs on
the farm longer than necessary be
fore taking them to market. If
these simple precautions are tak- ;
on, there i3 no reason to blame
the farmer for stale or fertile
eg rs
Like charity, precaution begins at
home, then if stale or otherwise
unsaleable eggs reach the consumer
it is time to check all along tho

Unwise merchants may hold eggs too
long. If cases and cartons are
properly dated, after careful grad
ing, nothing but first class eggs
wiH over roach the consumer.
If all precautions are taken by
the egg producer and complaints
are received, it is the duty for
every conscience egg producer to
investigate and find out the rea
son.
