Lays Largest Egg
The total number of eggs laid dur
ing the seth week of the international
egg laying contest at Storrs was 1892.
This is but a few eggs decrease from
the previous weeks score. The total
for the following weeks will probably
run smaller, as a considerable number
of the birds are starting their annual
moult. The largest number of eggs
laid by one pen during the week was
30. This was accomplished by pen
of barred Plymouth Rocks owned by
S. NJ. Gouchu of Morestown, N. j.
This is considered very good score
for this season Of the year, and Will
probably not be beaten in some time.
