Miss Elizabeth Brocks is stress-
ing, egg preservation and improve-
ment of the, qu.TTtfy of eggs in
meeting of. San Patricio County
Home Demonstration club women.
•Already one meeting has been held,
in the St: Paul club and other dem-
onstrations are planned, according
to a recent announcement from the
county ^agent,
The present over-production of
eggs, said to be the greatest in-a
period of ten years, has been caused
by oyer stock-trig of-drying plants,
lack of freezing, storage space (since
so much has been alloted to the'
Army and Navy), crates being held
up, and other- factors, Miss Brooks
pointed,, out.
In co-operating with the newly
organized War Food Committee, the
HD’women will assist in increasing
the utilization of eggs in daily diets
and also will hold demonstrations
on the #ays of egg preservation as
necommended-.by the extension ■de-
partment of A and M college.
However. Miss jjrooks ,«ays that
whenever possible farm peopie and
others whi>, raise poultry, should
have a well planned program to
have year around production of
eggs rather than preserving them.
But if eggs are to lie preserved,
emphasis should be given on the
proper selection- and care.
According' to OPA stalld.irds
thebe are five grades of eggs:
1 ’ - .. v
No. 1. Small, weighing about 18.
ounces per dozen;
No, 2, Medium, weighing 21
ounces: 1
No. 3. La,rge, weighing 24 ounces;
No. 4. Extra Large' weighing 26
ounces; and '
No. 5. Jumbo, weighing 28 ounces
and over.
Already some :San Patricio coun-
ty HI) club women have flocks that
are producing eggs-that Nvill meet
.the righer requirements, mention-
ing Mrs. Joe Franklin of the St.
Paul Club, Mrs, L. cf. Stanley. Taft,,
and Mrs. J. H. Sorthum, Ingleside.
To obtain high, egg production
Miss Brooks' stated, it is necessary
that the hens lie properly, fed. Eith-
er a commercial mash or a bone
mixed' mash may be fed -to meet the
requirements for production, saying
that since most people living on
farms have ti supply of home grown
grains, they can by following tested
formulas, and prepare at home a
standard grain mixture: She also
urges anyone interested to call at
her office for information.
Other practices that will lend to
better quality eggs, the Home dem-
onstration agent said, is to gather
eggs three times dally thereby pre-
venting evaporation and furthers
the keeping quality.
