All Eggs to Be Candled in North Dakota
Mrs. R. A. Sprague, federal food administrator for North Dakota, announced that from this date all eggs sold locally must be candled by buyers or sellers to prevent spoilage. US Food Administration data show 25 percent losses and 40 percent depreciation from June to October, due to improper handling, with further figures on spoilage and contamination within a 100 mile radius of Fargo. Regulations require candling of every egg lot, discarding defective eggs, paying only for good edible eggs, returning rejects to producers for inspection, and storing good eggs in a cool dry place until shipment.
