Freshness Explained
Simple Test For Egg
An egg is a sealed package ot fin<
food when it is laid by the hen. I
is the only product that Nature give
us that is sealed without the toucl
of human hands.
"However," poins out T. T. Brown
extension poultryman of N. C. Stat<
College, "eggs that bring a premiurr
on the market are those that the
consumer desires ? eggs that ar<
fresh, large, clean, uniform in sizi
and color, and sound in shell. Mos
consumers will buy the more pleas
ing-looking product, but their con
tinued purchases depend upon tht
actual interior quality of the eggs."
The State College man suggests i
simple home method of determininj
if eggs are fresh. "Place eggs in s
pan of water," he says, "and the gooc
ones will rest flat on the bottom ol
the vessel; those that have lost som<
of their quality will stand on end

and very poor ones will rise some
what. Those that rise are older or
poorly kept."
Brown explained that an egg does
not have an nir cell when it is laid
| by the hen. As it cools, the water,
evaporates from it and the two shell j
membranes at the large end of the
egg separate and form an air cell. \
In hot weather, moisture is drawn '
from the egg. just as water is drawn I
from the soil and from all vegeta
tion. The depth of the air cell is a
measure yf quality in eggs.
"It is beyond the ability of man to
improve the quality of an egg." de
clared Brown, "hut it is within his
ability to maintain that quality
through to the consumer. Ortc of the
most important steps is rapid cooling
of eggs. Eggs, when laid, are about
at the body temperature of the hen,
which is 106 degrees. They must be
cooled rapidly to about 68 degrees
to keep fresh."

Present Problems
Curs for '42 undoubtedly will have
less aluminum, nickel, zinc and oth
er vital defense materials than their
predecessors, and of course there'll
be fewer new ones. Materials just i
have to be saved for actual defense i
use. At the same time, adequate j
transportation has to be provided for'
defense workers, and to maintain
civilian transit and food-delivery fa
cilities. Reduction in over-all weight
might be a solution to this two-edged
problem.
