Show Midvale, Utah, Thursday, February 12, 1931 Volume 6. PCOAUNLDTLRIYNMC ELNESCSEOTN • Approximately sixty members of the Midvale Poultry association met last Monday night in the hall back of the Midvale Home Finance corporation offices for their reg:ular monthly meeting. A number of business matters were attended to and those present listened to a lecture and demonstration on the candling and care of eggs. During the course of the meeting it was necessary to change the by-laws and articles of incorporation in order to allow for the election of two additional members of the board of directors. After this action was taken J. A. Alcorn and H. S. Carmer, both of Midvale, were elected to the directorate. This gives a representation of three members on the board from the west side of the valley, three from the east side, and three from Midvale. Henry G. Tempest, manager of the Midvale candling plant of the Utah Poultry Producers' Cooperative association, gave a demonstration showing the producers of eggs how this product is handled to determine quality in grading. Following this Mr. Tempest explained the proper method of caring for the eggs from the time they are laid until delivered to the candling plant, in order to insure a higher grading. Urges Proper Care "The care of an egg begins the moment it is laid," Mr. Tempest said. "More is required of the poultryman than to simply gather the eggs, pack them and haul them to the grading shed. Eggs should be gathered frequently during the day to add to their cleanliness. A washed egg may look well, but in all cases where such eggs are placed in storage they are sure to decay. "After they are gathered," he continued, "eggs should be immediately placed in a humid condition, preferably in a basement, where they are not subjected to heat or drafts. Those not equipped with basements in their homes should place their eggs in the coolest available place and wrap the cases in damp burlap. This will insure a much higher grading than could otherwise be obtained. Shown in Candling "Eggs subjected to heat will immediately show, on being passed through a .. candling booth, that the albumen has thinned considerably, allowing the yolk to drop down toward the bottom of the egg and the' air cell to enlarge. V,Vhen subjected to candling such an egg appears considerably darker than one properly handled, and, consequently, loses much of its market value. Eggs kept too long before shipping will likewise show a falling off in quality. "Eggs that require washing before marketing invariably show a shrinkage. This contraction begins immediately after washing, due to the pores of the shell becQming opened through the action of the water on (Continued on last pags:) Number42. Q~~~~~~~~~~ j.
