URGENT NEED TO SALVAGE EGG CASES Due to some neglect in the return of egg cases to wholesalers, some less handling, a shortage of lumber and other incidental causes there now a definite shortage of egg cases in Canada, states the Dominion Department of Agriculture. This shortage threatens not only to handicap the movement of eggs into the domestic trade but also tc egg drying plants where egg powder is made for export to Britain. In view of the fact that it is difficult to obtain adequate supplies of iew cases, the Department makes i special appeal to everyone handling gg cases not only to return them and the accompanying packing material promptly to the shipper but also to avoid damaging them in any way.
