EGGS IN COLD STORAGE.

‘ NEED FOR ORGANISATION. Mr F. C. Brown, Chief Poultry Instructor for the New Zealand Government, recently wrote to the secretary of the New Zealand Poultry Association in relation to eggs and egg bye-products in cold storage. He stated that on June 30th, 1926, the quantity of eggs and egg pulp in cold storage throughout the Dominion was as follows:

Eggs in isliell, 3,855 dozen. Egg pulp, 394,542 lbs. • Frozen whites, 722 lbs. Egg yolk nil. In reviewing the probable condition of the coining season it was further pointed out that there will be a carry-over into the next season of about 250,000 lbs of' egg pulp on 31st July, or, in other words, about half the amount that will probably be required by consumers during the. next scarce season of supply. In view of this the question of organising for the export of eggs during the forthcoming season appears to he a matter calling for urgent consideration on the part of all who are interested in the industry, particularly producers, who should be impressed with the necessity of unloading the forthcoming spring surplus of eggs, for the maintenance of local paying values during that period.
