TWENTY-SECOND WEEK IN STORRS CONTEST Hundred Eggs Under Mark Reached Last eYar. than 200 esgs under the mark made in the corresponding week a year ago. A. Allan's Reds from Newport, R. I, won first honors for the week with a production of 56 eggs. Windsweep Farm’s pen of White Leghorns from Redding, Conn., got second best piace for the week with a yield of 54 eggs: Merritt M. Clark’s Barred Rocks from Brookfield Center, Conn., Cloyes & Sullivan's Buff Wyamiottes from Hart- ford, and Springdale Poultrp. Farm’'s Rhode Island Reds from Durham, Conn,, all tied for third place with 52 eggs each. White Leghorn, No. 567 from Strousburg, Pa. laid an egs weighing only one-half an ouncq or the small- est of the more than %000 eggs that were produced. On the other hand White Plymouth Rock, No. 109 frem Derry, N. H., Jaid an egg that weigh- ed four ounces or the largest that was produced during the week. In this connection it is Interesting to . note that the récords made at the laying contest seem to prove . conclasively that hens are more likely to lay very small eggs or very large esgs at and during_the height of the laying sea- son. "It is a more or less common belief that abnormally small or large eggs marl either the beginning or the end of a hen’s clutch, bu: this theory is_no longer tenable. The records show that these unusual eggs are more likely to occur at the time of heavy production. Neithér the little eggs therefore, nor the big one, means that 8 hen has just started to lay or that she has finished and is about to be- come broody. Two For the first time in many weeks the hens in the laying contest at Storrs have eased up a little. They laid a total of 4403 esgs in the twenty-sec- ond week or virtually the same num- ber as in the preceding week bu "l‘h? three l;e!t pens in each of the .. principal varieties are as follo 3 Pay a little more for |c.. = Barea p:i;numsao:k.m REAL RU-*R-OID 6 Fairfield’s .
