15- It is the opinion of the majority of Canadian egg dealers, that the 

 Canadian Egg Trade sustains a loss of at least 17 per cent. This means 

 that for every 30-dozen case marketed, there is a loss equal to the value of 

 five dozen eggs. This loss is very largely the result of defective methods 

 of production and marketing. 



16. The chief fault of the present method of marketing eggs is the 

 "case count," or "flat rate" system of buying and selling the product. 



17. Eggs should be bought and sold on merit. The price received or 

 paid should be strictly in accord with the quality of the product. 



18. To allow as much for inferior eggs as for eggs of the highest 

 quality is practically the same as placing a premium on careless and 

 dilatory methods. 



19. The basis of payment of an Egg Selling Association or an Egg 

 Circle is that of quality. Only first-class eggs receive a first-class price. 

 All eggs are paid for according to their grade, as shown by the process of 

 candling. 



20. In an Egg Circle, members have the advantages of more frequent 

 marketing, cheaper transportation, the elimination of unnecessary mid- 

 dlemen, access to the latest and best in poultry knowledge, and expert 

 salesmanship, all of which naturally result in the elimination of loss, a 

 higher class product, a keen demand for their product, and larger net 

 profits.
