The egg trust is not of white Wyandottes nor Rhode Is- land reds. The egg trust a col- lection of unestimable plotters who mect aceasionally in Kansas City and sttempt to? fix the price which the country must pay for its cggs. According to the food commis- sioner of New Ydrk state, the trust in question held a recent. meceting in which it was decided to do every- thing. possible to bring down the price of hest western eggs (which determine the market for the whole country) to 18 cents per dozen to the producer. , The wholesale price in New York for the best cggs is now 26 cents, and the consumer, at retaii should not pay more than 30 cents dozen for best Western eggs, or cents for mnative cggs, according the commissioner's estimate, The egg trust is thus shown to bhe at present attempting fo put down the price of eggs to the lowest gible figure. But is this a benevol- once? Far from it—it has a speci fic and rapacious purpose. The trust controls the cold storage capacity of the country. The season for putting eggs into storage is approaching. The trust now wants to shove the price of eggs down to the lowest quanitics at rock bottom prices for {he pur- pose of putting them into storage and selling them for high prices when cggs are ‘‘up” again next aufumn. Tt's a game that never can Io bLeaten, probably, so long as the trust centrols the storage facilitics, or until some genius invents a houschold riethod of keeping eggs fresh for an indefinite period. PBut the New York food commissioner's advice is *“Buy cggs-—use them freely for the next two months.” Tt is good advice, it means huying a valuable food when the priee is low. and at the same time, “soaking” the cgg trust.
