EGG GRADING DISCUSSED BY 60V. INSPECTOR Many Intricate Features of new Act Explained, and Account of looting From Last Week’s Kin- cardino “Reporter” of Interest to Int-J ---v--' Inspector A. L. Morrison of the Dominion Live Stock Branch, gath- ered the merchants of Kincardine and Tiverton together at the Kincar- dine Creamery and gave them a talk and encouraged discussion on the Egg Grading Act. parts of which have been misunderstood through- out the country: v v..- Mr. Morrison has his subject well in hand. and his knowledge of poulâ€" try and eggs is complete in every‘ detail. The part of his visit that should be appreciated is that on his first visit in this section. he did not rush around and find fault. look- ing diligently for mistakes which he could check up, but called a meet- ing and in courteous manner, ex- plained the difficulties to the mer- chants. pointed out where they were wrong. showed how it should he done and assisted them in doing it. In the future. when Mr. Morrison comes around for inspection pur- ‘lposes. there will he no excuse in On Friday morning of last Vive‘qk, THE DURHAM CHRONICLE a statement on the forms as required in schedule A to these regulations,‘ provided that this regulation shall not. apply where producers market their eggs in less than fifteen dozen lots in any one day.” In this case, it does not mean that if a producer comes into a store and sells the merchant less than fifteen dozen that they do not have to be graded. They must be graded and aid for on at least a two grade asis. It means that the merchant does not have to present a grading slip to the farmer or producer if he brings in_ less than fifteen dozen, ‘ ‘fiâ€" A-tnn bhnl llu ”lil‘!aa l“ ‘UUD USO“..- -u- v- wâ€"_ as the merchant does for over that amount. But the merchant must keep some record of these small lots so that the Department will know how they figure their returns. Mr. Morrison, however, advised the mer- chants to give the grading slips. even in the case of fifteen dozen or less, and they could not go wrong. He also advised them to have the producers witness the candleing of the eggs and, he would soon learn the reason for grading and realize that it was for his own benefit. _“A Some other interesting statements were made by the inspector. He pointed out and emphasized the fact that egg grading was simply a scheme to raise the standard of pro- duction and marketing for the hen- fit of the producers themselves. It also eliminates the chance of using eggs that are harmful to the con- 81] mers.

Inspector Pound Short.” in Dairy Pound Prints. Toronto, who Is an inspector under checks up on the weight of butter sold in the local stores, with a view to protection of the purchaser in buying pound prints. , While here, Mr. Kidd found cases where the dairy butter sold was un- der weight, and the condition was so general that he requested us to refer to the matter, and give warn- ing that this is distinctly illegal, and places a person in line for a fine of from 810 to $50 and costs, . upon conviction. The local dairy prints were as much as two ounces, or an eighth, of a pound, shortâ€"which is some shortage for the purchaser at 40 cents a pound. At another point, Mr. Kidd had found “pound" prints of dairy but- ter that actually weighed 17% ounces, and the lady who had sold them to the local store had actually “done" herself out. of ten pounds of butter, or about $3. Evidently there is more Scotch around St. Vincent, as Mr. Kidd was unable to find anv overweight dairy prints, though .there were many that_were under. , f._LA “"3265 "chi "3i” tfi'is'bilt‘ier-weight business is this: No person has the righi._tq 8911 a pqund pript of but- ---lâ€"-_ -:-‘AA‘ ‘ ID...
