GREEN PAINT BEST FOR HENS
Newfield IN. W Man Finds Summer
Color Makes Them Lay More Eggs.

William H. Brown, down Newheld
way, near Ithaca, \. u. has discover
ed that light green houses make the
best kind of environment for hens, be-
cause they lay more eggs when the
henhouses are painted that color.
Brown, who has experimental with
the effects of colors on hens for some
time, says he finds that his flock of
hens lay from one to three eggs more
a day since he put the green paint on
the henhouse. He noticed no percepti-
bile change when other colors were
tried
The color theory is that the hens
should have the same color scheme In
their winter environment as nature
offers in spring and summer.
