I EG G S, In the year 1956 Denmark exported 10,551,267 great hundred fresh and 1,130,050 great hundreds of preserved eggs.

The mark is shown in natural size and on kept in cold storage have to be marked with the word “Danish" but without the oval, and not in red. In addition to the marking of the single eggs it is also required that the packing is marked in a special manner. Both end pieces of the egg cases shall indicate the kind of eggs contained. Danish eggs must only be exported under the following designations: “Fresh Danish Eggs“, “Cold-stored Danish Eggs", “Preserved Danish Eggs", “Paraffined Danish Eggs“, “Sterilized Danish Eggs“ and. “Chipped Danish Eggs“. Below this designation must be shown the class weight, (weight of 120 eggs as a rule indicated in Ibs.).

The term “Paraffined Danish Eggs** is applied on eggs the shells of which have been sealed with pa- raffine or the like. „Sterilized Danish Eggs“ are eggs which have been preserved in an indifferent gas. The term “Chipped Danish Eggs" is used for eggs which on account of cracks have been assorted. Danish eggs of second quality may not be exported. By second quality eggs is understood eggs which are not fresh and which do not come under one of the above- named designations, also soiled or washed eggs and eggs which have been damaged under the hen, by heating, or in any other way. The Lur-mark and the egg-mark indicate the nationa- Iity of the goods and afford a guarantee of their being under public control and of a certain high quality. The date or week marks indicate the age of the ware, the class number on the side of bacon and the egg cases indicate respectively the class according to the degree of fat in the bacon and the size of the eggs. Without these indications Danish butter, bacon and eggs do not pass beyond the horders of Denmark. The wliole of this marking system has been introduced for the information of customers and for promoting greater honesty in trade; and the effective and thorough control with the maintenance of the demands justifying the use of the marks has established and preserved the confidence placed in Danish agricultural products.
