Excerpt from Care and Marketing of Eggs It has been pointed out repeatedly that the 'case - count' system of buying eggs has been largely the cause of the general unsatisfactory condition of the trade. For many years eggs have been purchased by number without regard to quality. This has been decidedly unfair to the farmers and other producers who have taken pains to market good. Clean. Fresh eggs, and through placing no premium on good eggs the system referred to has really become an incentive to the continu ance of careless and dilatory methods. It has made possible the disposal of eggs in all stages of decomposition. And has encouraged farmers and local buyers to hold eggs at certain seasons of the year when they have no satisfactory places for storing them. This whole subject has been thoroughly discussed at recent meetings of produce dealers. Of the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Officials from both the Federal and Ontario Departments of Agriculture were present at these meetings, and endeavoured strongly to present the imperative need of a radical change in the system of handling and marketing eggs.
