Show EGGS SPOIL WHEN DIPPED IN FLUID GROWERS WARNED Dipping eggs in water or any other artificial treatment ruins their keeping keep-ing quality and thus entirely destroys all commercial value, declared Benjamin Ben-jamin Brown, director of markets for the Utdh Poultry Producers Cooperative Coopera-tive Association, during a recent visit to Utah. Water dipped eggs are not only positively worthless for sale after the first few days but their presence on the New York market as Utah pro-i ducts reflects on the whole poultry industry in-dustry of this state. A few dipped or artificially treated eggs in Utah ship- J -ments will damage the reputation of all those sent from this state. j iReports indicate that some eggs have been coming onto the New York market as "Utah eggs," after they have been treated with water or some other liquid. They naturally spoiled . in a short time and though no particu-lar particu-lar damage was done to the trade, persistent repetition would certainly kill the public confidence and esteem for Utah quality which has required years to build up. Utah produced eggs, according to j the visitor, now have a stronger hold ' on the New York egg market than j ever before. The great quantities of j beneficial publicity given the local product several months ago when an attempted racketeers' boycott was in- j vestigated by New York state officials have lead to a priceless public goodwill. good-will. Beehive state producers are still realizing as fair a price as can be expected, ex-pected, considering other commodity prices and general business and econ-, econ-, omic depression. Mr. Brown will make j a plant inspection tour through Utah befor returning to Ntw York. |
