Broken eggs are responsible for two cents of the price on the eggs that are not broken, and the consumers have to pay the extra pennies because the railroads and express companies break the eggs and refuse to pay for the damage. Such is the complaint of Alton E. Briggs, executive secretary of the Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange, reported in the Boston Transcript. “Since October last,” Mr. Briggs says, “the railroads have discriminat- ed against eggs as against no other commodity, for they smash them by the thousands of dozens and refuse to pay for those they break; and today thousands of dollars in claims are un- settled because of the pernicious atti- tude of the railroads. “It should be stated that eggs take a very high freight rate, being rated as second class, and this high rate naturally exists because of the extra care the railroads are supposed to use in handling such a fragile product, and, further, to furnish funds to the railroads to repay for their breakage when same is due to their careless- ness. Perhaps the high-rate on eggs can be presented more clearly by stat- ing that the freight rate on beef, from Chicago to Boston, is 47¢. per 100 lbs. while on eggs from Chicago to Boston it is 85c. per 100, and the railroads re- cently had the effrontery to ask for a 15 per cent. rise in the rate on eggs, but asked no rise on beef. The rise was granted on eggs and this advance is shown in the figures already given above. “Follow with me a shipment of 100 cases of eggs from a point in Indiana to Boston. Eggs arrive in Boston and are examined by the receiver, who finds 20 cases more or less smashed and leaking. The very fact of this breakage is positive evidence that the whole lot has received rough treat- ment, but the railroads will not per- mit the remaining 80 cases to be ex- amined because they show no external evidence of damage, and in order to get these eggs at all the receiver must sign for them in ‘good order.” The chances are 100 to 1 that when these 80 cases are taken to the receiver’s warehouse a large amount of break- age is found, but the railroads will not recognize a claim for such breakage. On the 20 cases that showed external damage the railroads will recognize a claim, but only for broken eggs in ex- cess of one and one-half dozen. In other words, the railroads can smash 5 per cent. of the eggs in every case and will not pay a cent for the dam- age. “The shipper of eggs cannot stand such losses as follows {rom this atti- tude of the railroads; there is no rea- son why receivers shouli pay for eggs they do not receive; and the railroads say ‘pass the loss on to the consumer,’ and there is where it is going. “But here is ‘worse and more of it, for this system of the railroads, oper- ating since October last, is now being put in practice by the 2xupress compa- nies, and they are now refusing to pay claims for broken eggs, except for the excess of broken eggs above one and one-half dozen a case; for exam- ple, a little shipper on Cape Cod sends by express a case of ezgs to John Smith in Boston. The express system, supposed to be rapid and safe, may drop this case upon the platform and smash a lot of the eggs, but the ex- | press company will make somebody other than itself pay for one and one- half dozen of the eggs that the ex- press company itself broke.” As to Beans and Potatoes. “Unless the potato crop is blighted by the excessive rains, there will be a bigger yield in the potato regions of New York State than we have ever known,” remarked Charles A. Case- man, of Batavia, to the Washington Post. “The recommendations of the Agricultural Department and Mr. Hoover to plant potatoes everywhere were very generally followed. The Mayor of New York aided this move- ment very materially when he diverted 100 cars of Maine-grown potatoes purchased to supply the reople of New York to the potato-growing sec- tions for seed. These p..tatoes were sold to the farmers at $2.25 a kushel with freight added, under agreements by which the purchasers guaranteed to sell to the city of New York their crops at the market price. “Ordinarily the New York State po- tato region considers 10) bushels to the acre a fair average crop, but to judge from the appearance of thie po- tato fields today the avarage will be nearly twice that amoant, and the consequence is likelv to be that the market price will fall below 50 cents a bushel on the farm, which will mean a profit. “Congress proposes to fix a mini- mum price for wheat at $2 a bushel. Unless a minimum price for potatoes is fixed, I am afraid the farmers who followed the suggestions of the au- thorities will become greatly discour- aged, and that next year it will be difficult to induce them to plant an ad- equate acreage. “New York ranks next to Michigan as a bean-producing State. White heans, or as they are commonly called navy beans, are supplied to the mar- ket almost exclusively by those two States, although California is rapidly climbing to the front as a white-bean section. Beans are th: latest crop planted, aside from buckwheat, and this year, while the early prospects were good, the continual rains have caused serious injury, anil it begins to look as if there again will be a heavy shortage in beans. For a ten-year period! I think the average price of beans has ranged from 32 to $2.25 a bushel, and last fall the price went to $4.50, and before spring it reached double that figure. Farmers in our section who have failed to save their own seed, paid as high as $12 a bush- el. If the rains continue for the full 40- days after St. Swithin's day, the indications are that the Lean crop will be ruined.” But He’s On the Job. From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times. Mr. Hoover says there is no relief from high meat prices in sight. In fact, he almost intimates we are lucky that the butchers do not charge us for the steaks we do without. New Advertisements.
