EGG MARKETING
Sir,—Does Mr Ferguson think his stamping machine will produce any more eggs? Since the egg floor has been operating, producers selling to stores before have lost 6s 3d a box of 30 dozen on standards and 12s 6d a box of heavies. What worker on wages has been cut down like this? Result—empty fowl houses! And this from a Labour Government, trying to force egg producers to sell to a monopoly! Dirty and stale eggs arid the black market must be a nightrriare to Mr Ferguson. I should like to see all producers hold a postal ballot, for or against the abolition of this monopoly, the central egg floor.—Yours, etc., OLD GAME. January 8, 1944.
