Thjs feeling was growing to alar-mi ing proportions, and "in fact, got to such a point that all Oregon eggs we're in danger of becoming considered a strictly second class product in other markets.

It is composed of practically all the egg dealers in Portland. Immediately after the association organized it decided to establish a standard 'system', of grading eggs that could be used as a basis of trade. Following are the grtCdes estab lished: The grades shall consist -of No. 1, No. 2, and No.

3 eggs. No. 1 eggs shall weigh not less than 55 pounds to the case, in. standard cases and shall be clean, full and i No. 2 eggs shall consist of slightly dirty, slightly shrunken, undersized eggs, and shall' be reasonably, fresh and sweet.

No. 3 eggs shall consist of stale, extremely small, dirty and cracked eggs, that are not leaking. Duck eggs, pickled and treated eggs shall be graded No. 2 or No. 3, according to quality.

All rots, spot rots, leakers, sour or musty eggs shall be considered dead loss. 1 All eggs shall be packed, in standard egg cases, new or good second hand that will stand shipping. Eggs packed in other than standard egg cases -hall be subject to a deduction of one-half cent per dozen.
