Storrs Conn., July 19.—Cool cloudy weather seems to just suit the Leg- horsn, for they made another clean- up in the thirfq-seventh week of the laying contest 'at Storrs. Windsweep Farm’s pen from Redding Ridge, Conn., were an easy first with a yield of fifty- nine eggs. A. P. Robinson's pen ‘from Calverton, N. Y., was second with a production of fifty-five eggs. F. M. Peasley’s pen from Cheshire, Connec- ticut, was a close third with fifty-four, while A. B. Hall, Wallingford Con- necticut and Will Barron, Bartle, Eng- land, tied for fourth place with fifty- three eggs each. Three Connecticut pens, one from Pennsylvania, and one from ~Vermont, a# Leghorns tied for next place with fifty-two eggs each. In other words the Leghorns got away with -the fifst ten places. The total yield for all pens amounted to 3,904, or about forty eggs better than for last week and also forty eggs better than for the corresponding week last year. Six individuals, Including White Wy- andottes, Rhode Islands Reds, Orp- ingtons and Leghorns, laid over size eges during the week. The perform- ance of Dhode Island Red, No. 389 from Southport, Connecticut, was much more unusual than any of the others. This hen laid only three eggs duing the week but they were all very large. The were exactly equivalent by weight to fiv average size eggs. In other words if one could breed a family of hens that would lay eggs of this size he ought to get %5 cents a dozen for them when average eggs are sellin at 50 cents. The three best pens of the princi- pal varfeties are as follows: Pen Barred Plymouth Rocks. 6 Fairfields Poultry Farms, Short Falls, N. H. .. 1566 Merritt M. Clark, Brookfield Center, Conn. ......

Food Supply Committes of Stats Coun- cil of Defense Makes Recommenda- tions. The committee on food supply of the state council of defense made recom- mendations in regard to exemptions for agricultural labor. They ask that three classes receive consideration in this connection: First—Men with a technical educa- tion capable of supervising agricul- tural projects, including boys' farm iabor camps, and managers of farms conducted on a commercial basis. This would include county agricultural agents, supervisors, etc. Second—Trained dairymen and but- termakers (men who are familiar with pasteurizing, bottling and the care of milk in general) and herdsmen having knowledge of feeding. Third—"One-man” farmers. Men who are working their own farms with- out regular help and whose land and equipment would remain idle if they were removed. This action was taken by the.com- mittee of food supply in response to requests from W. J. Spillman, chief of the office of farm management, United States department of agriculture, and from Herbert Knox Smith, chairman of the committee on man power and labor of the state council for defense. The department of farm management, which is handling the question of farm labor during the present crisis, has been called upon to make recommend- ations to the war department in regard | scOUTS ANXIOUS TO to exemptions of agricultural workers, and in order to do so intelligently is asking the co-operation of the commit- tees on food supply in the various states. The granges of the state are being called upon to assist in the state-wide campaign to _eliminate the non-pro- ducing hens of the state. In a letter from the headquarters of the Connecti- Cut state master of the grange, Charles T. Davis, the following appeal was made: 5 A campalgn has been launched to eliminate non-productive hens. It is stated by the poultry department of the Connmecticut Agricultural college that there are at least half a million hens in Connecticut that have stopped producing for the season. These hens should be killed. They are consuming at least 50,000 bushels of grain per month, which is as truly wasted as though thrown away. If killed, it would stop this waste beside adding about two million pounds of food to our sup- ply. If killed, the expense of poultry keepers will be reduced and the profits correspondingly increased. Everyone in the state may know how these unproductive hens may be select- ed from the layers. Every member of the poultry department of the Connec- ticut Agricultural college has agreed to devote his time, up to the first of Octo- ber, to_demonstrate how the poor lay- ers and the non-layvers may be select- ed. This appears to me an especially opportune time to make the selective demonstration a part of the grange program for three reasons: First—The demonstrators are avail- able. Second—Abnormal make it necessary to economize in feeding as much as possible. Third—By utilizing the meat and saving grain we are performing a di- rectly patriotic service. Granges wishing to make a selective demonstration a part of their program should make arrangemen with their county farm bureau or local town di- rector. prices of grain Made District Manager. Alonzo Tetendre has resigned his position as manager of the Lenox House to accept a position as district manager for a Chicazo picture en- larging concern.
