CHAPTER XV, 
STORING SURPLUS EGGS 
One of the greatest problems of the egg 
producer is to get a market in the spring for 
ALL his eggs at a good price. It is probably 
the same problem in another branch that the 
farmer has to contend with in all his produc- 
tions. In the egg business I believe there is 
only one way it can be solved and do justice 
to farmer and egg producer. That is by 
establishing small local storage plants on a 
co-operative basis by which system the far- 
mer could take his eggs to storage during the 
flush season of spring, get his cash at the 
market price and then when his eggs are sold 
later from storage get some extra or pro 
rata share of the profits which now go into 
the hands of speculators. 
Most farmers and egg producers need the 
cash in the spring to pay their bills and so 
must sell their eggs as they can whatever
