Department's aummary of traffic 1 September 23-28 How To Select Eggs For Fair Exhibit By: SModte B. Wilson, Asst Co. Agricultural Agent Selecting eggs for showing is (somewhat different from sending eggs to market. All twelve eggs should be perfect in every resepct. or as nearly so as possible. A few small defects can lower the score < considerably for eggs entered in a i show. 1 Interior quality is most important and has the most point value when eggs are judged for showing pur- : pose. You should, select the best in terior quality eggs and this can be done when you are candling. A few of the things you want to look for in selecting eggs for the highest interior quality are: a well centered ? yolk, thick albumen or white, and a small air cell (usually in the large ead). Also, while candling eggs, Is the best time to determine sMl i porosity, thin spots, bliqd checks., and hkMmfcj crocks. Porous and 1 rough gjiells break - easily and tlkf* J ?jgs to spoil more quickly. The 1 shell of each egg should be smooth < and sound. I Uniformity is a key factor in < selecting eggs for external quali- 1 ties. Egg* should be uniform in size, weight, color, and shape. All ' eggs should be of die size for the < weight class In which they are en- > tared. Although a little different in aim, some eggs may weigh the ' same, wbfle on the other. hand, ' some eggs may be the same size 1 but not weigh tiw same. Make sure all eggs you select weigh die same or as near the same as posstole. The Jumbo, 30-32 ounces; Extra large, Weight of each class is as follows: 27-29; Large. 24-26; Medium, 21-23; and Small, 18-20 . All eggs entered in an egg show should be CLEAN. Eggs with dirt, stains, foreign matter, or that show ? discoloration should not be selected. After you have seelcted your eggs for showing, place all the selected eggs on a level table. You will want to check them again to see if all eggs in each dozen are uniform and have the ideal shape. As each egg is packed in a carton, make sure that each one is clean, free from stains, and cracks. Mark or identify each filled carton of eggs according to weight and the class you wish to enter it in the show.

Field Demonstration For Soil And Water Conservation At Sarecfa On Wednesday Farmers in Duplin County are be coming more concerned each year about the passing of topsoil which is washing or blowing away and can never be recovered. They are justified in their concern for that soil which is leaving fields and sett ling either in woods or streams of the county. 'Putting the problem on a simple dollar basis, it is estimated that for each ton of topsoil lost there is a loss in value for growing corn of 18 cents and on tdbacco land the field suffers a 35 cent per ton .loss in growing capacity. Practically every farmer knows the cost of keeping ditches cleaned out and if he has sloping fields, he has seen the settlement building up in the edge of woods or hedge rows on the be cut down and in some cases prac All of this has been valuable land. All of this loss, however small or great, adds up year after year and in most cases can never be recover ed. Fortunately, the annual loss can be cut down and in some caes prac tically eliminated. To point out the seriousness of this problem, the Southeastern Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors are sponsoring a field demonstration on the Sitterson Farm at Sarecta. The time will be 2 p. m. on Wed nesday afternoon, September 25.
