Commercial Grades for Market Eggs by Professor Lapp
William A. Lapp of the Town Agricultural College describes ordinary commercial egg grades in a circular. Extras are 24 to 28 ounces per dozen, uniform, clean, air cell small. Firsts 22 to 24 ounces, similar but with air cell not much larger. Seconds include gritty, dirty or stale eggs. Checks are slightly broken. Leakers are broken with liquid escape. Rejects are unfit for food. Lapp urges pride in selling good eggs, clean nests, proper temperature, and avoiding washing dirty market eggs. He notes higher grades often fetch better prices, citing Minnesota and Missouri co operatives where premiums raise extras and firsts.
