HENS SLACKEN SOME IN STORRS CONTEST But Reserve Will Carry Through Suc- cessfully is the Belief. g Storrs, Conn, May 30. 1918—The hens in the laying trials at Storrs have yielded a little ground 'in the 30th week but they are still'in good. order. Not only this, but’ they ssem to have sufficient reserve; hence there is little doubt as to the final cutcome of the competition. The to- tal number of eggs for the thirtieth week was 4371, or a yield of 62 1-2 rer cent; they laid 4578 last week and 4418 in the corresponding week last year. The Leghorn' Division struck hard last week and are still at it; they constitute 43 per cent. of the birds entered 'in the Contest, but are laying close up to 50 per. cent. of the eggs. E.

Oak Hill Estate's Léghorns from Un- iontown, Pa., were in fourth position with a vield of 38 eggs for the week. With the approach of summer wea- ther all flocks everywhere are likely to fall off a iittle in_their production and unfortunately this cannot be eén- tirely obviated. Some hints are so simple that when made the uninitiated consider them of only small import- ance. For instance, it is just as nec- cssary that hens have water, clean fresh water, as to have feed. Add to this a bountiful supply of tender tempting green food, and then make a careful periodical examination for lice and mites and exterminate them and in most cases more esgs will re- sult.
