COST CF HANDLING FOGS
The Creamery Department has recently re
ceived several requests for information
on the cost of handling eggs.
Reprinted here from the book "ICULTRY
HUGBA'TRY" by Forley A. Jull, copyright
1930, 5 s a table showing the various
costs incurred in marketing eggs from the
producer tc the dealer:
Cents per
case
Loss in bad eggs 17
Cost of handling & grading . . 30
Loss on low grade egga .... 18 3/4
Loss on cracked eggs. 1 1/4
Cost case and packing. 45
Freight and refrigeration. . . 100
Drayage.. . •. 5
Commission. 50
:■ rcn this table the author concluded the
cost, without storage., to be about 9pC
per dozen, Ire states that storage for
seven or eight"months would cost from 3
to 5 cents more.
Since, under local conditions, the costs
attributed to losses in bad and low grade
eggs, commission, and dravage nay be
eliminated, while the costs of handling
and grading, and case and packing are
somewhat -higher, a charge of $2.00 to
vc.10 per case should cover the cost of
handling when there is a sufficient
volume cf eggs passing through the
Creamery, This would amount to 62/3 to
7 cents per.dozen.
At the present tine, the mark-up on the
different grades, without cartons, is as
follows: Extra Large - 7/, Large - 6/,
Medium - 6/, Spall - 2^, Cracks - 4^,
‘■/hen these figures are properly weighted
to allow por the average number of dozen
of each grad.6 being handled at the
present time, the average mark-up made by
the Creamery is about 5.35 cents per
dozon, cr Cl.76 per case. .
