 laying contest opened at Storrs Mon- day. For the first time this compe- tition is under the exclusive manage ment of the Connecticut Agricultural college and lthe Agricultural Experi- ment station. There are about 500 birds entered, representing ten states and England. As the full number of pens is not now occupied, it is planned to put the reserve birds in the empty houses, which enables the con- testants to get the trapnest record of eleven birds instead of ten. An in- teresting feature has been added to the competition by the entry of ten pens by the experiment. station for feeding experiments. These experiment. pens, of course, will not compete for prizes. The management of the competition has accepted three pens of mongrel birds for the purpose of discovering what the average production: of this class of birds really is. There are 32 pens entered from Connecticut, from Rhode Island, 9 from Massachusetts, from New Hampshire, 5 from Pennsylvania, from New Jersey, 10 from New York, 1 from Ohio, from West Virginia, from Michigan and ? from England.
