Mr. Baldwin:

asked the Minister of Agriculture, whether, in order to encourage egg production he will grant a ration of one cwt. of poultry food for every case of 360 eggs delivered to a registered packing station.

No, Sir. the idea of basing rations on eggs sent to packing stations has been fully explored and rejected as impracticable, largely because of the difficulty of dealing with eggs for hatching and rations for breeding stock.
