EGG DEALERS MEET
1 IN CLINTON
A meeting was held in the agri-
cultural board room Monday after-
' noon attended by storekeepers of
4' Clintcn and district who handle eggs.
1 The purpose of the meeting was to
discuss the new egg grading regula-
tions and marketing laws. The guest C
speaker was E. R. Hooey, federal le
poultry promoter, London, svho was
accompanied by J. E. Murray, also of it
the agricultural department, Lu,tclott.
Agricultural Representative J. C.
Shearer called the 'meeting to order
1 and called for nominations for dash•-
, man. Mr. Shearer was the only nom -
ince. He outlined briefly the purpo:=e
of the meeting and called on Mr. le
Hooey t:
r• address the h t
s r. neetitc •.
Y He
R
first gave a review of the egg report f
market as at this time. Ducting the
past summer the export of eggs to a
Britain fell off owing to the inferior- e
i ity of the product being shipped from it,
Canada. We are now overproducing a
fat' beyond domestic requirements. to
l Oar annual production approximates TI
300,000,000, 30 -dozen crates of eggs sit
1 and in order to hold the British mar-
ket for our surplus we must improve
the quality of the product. He stated to
that Canada captured the British egg . re
market from. nearby Holland, Den-
mark and other European countries el
during the Great War and held it for x
five years after the war while those r•e
countries were regaining normalcy in na
stocks and equipment. If we Oast I1olcl'
the British market now when: the pro- fo
duction there is nil we should be able col
to hold ittor ten. years after the war sti
is over for they will practically have of
to start from scratch and build up en
their flocks. lit
Notwithstanding the inferiority in th
quality and grading Canada exported.
during the nconths, Feb. 3 to Nov. 3, pa
347,148 cases of 30 -dozen each as
compared with 10,000 three years ago.
Of that quantity 159,122 cases were
from Ontario. The speaker touched
upon the difficulty that may seem
to confront the store peeper in the
smaller places as compared with those
in larger centres, They will be prac-
tically forced to identify their egg Sp
purchases with a registered grading a r
station, while dealers in larger towns , gkv
would have the option of having
theirs identified at a registered grade
ing station easily available.
The government regulations were
taken ep clause by clause, typed
sheets of which were supplied
throughout the audience and an op-
portunity was given to ask questions
of which several took advantage,
among whom were G. W, Elliott,
Bayfield, and E. 8. Smith, Clinton.
Those in attendance were: Gordon
Taylor, R. J. Phillips, Auburn; 3. H.
Reid, G. W. Elliott, E: F. Feather-
stone, Bayfield; C. M. Shearing, C.
