The Press Bulletin issued from Storrs Agricultural Experimental Sta tion upon the second Internatit nal Egg Laying Contest gives the follow ing information
 The Seccnd International Egg Lay ing Contest at Storrs opened Novem- Der | 1912 and closed october 31 1913.- This competition, like it's professor, was conducted on the grounds of the Connecticut Agricultural college under the joint auspices of the Storrs Az rieultural Experiment Station and the fPhiladelphia North American and under the immediate supervision of the Experiment Station Poultry De- partment. This paper is only pre- limfnary report and is issued to meet the demand for the final score of the respective pens and requests for the feeding dormulaS used in connection with the enterprise. The Experiment station undertook to keep full records of individual egg producing as well as total pen production, food eonsump- ton per pen, duration of broody pe- rtods, weight of eggs, and to collect throughout the year such other data as was deemed of interest and import ance. Not all of this, however, can be presented at this time. The facts will, nevertheless, be given to the public as soon as they can be compiled and in corporated in an Experiment Station bulletin.
 Pens of Five With Supernumerary Each pen consisted of five females, but each contestant was privileged to send one supernumerary bird which was placed in the competing pen in the event of losses accidental or otherwise. No further substitution was permit ted: The total number of eggs laid by the various pens is indicated on anoth- CT page in a table arranged by breeds and according to the number of eggs produced For the benefit of those who desire to make their own compar- isons between this contest and the first one, the writer desires to point out the fact that 590 birds competed in this contest as against 490 in the first event; and further, only marketable eggs have been credited in the initial competition.
