Three new high marks were set during the twenty first week of the Third International Egg Laying Con- test at Storrs The best daily records since the competition opened came during this week with yield of 524 eggs, and the hens averaged more than 500 eggs day throughout the week. The best previous weekly yield for any one pen was made in the twentieth week by an experimental pen of Leghorns with 56 eggs. The twenty first week, however, increased this by three eggs as is noted below All pens taken together make net gain of 16O eggs or total of 3597 for the week. This puts the grand total we'll above 30, 900 eggs since the contest opened November 1st. Still more interesting perhaps is the fact that during the week the expert mental pen of leghorns that has been holding third place in the competition for the past 14-~-weeks now ties for second place with a total production of 697 eggs since November 1st. A Bay State pen of Barred Rocks owned by Frank L. Futile of Ashland, Mass. |, won first place for the week with 59 eggs to their credit, a new high mark for a weekly pen yield. A Connecti- cut pen of Buff Plymouth Rocks owned by w. O. Morgan, Jr., of Mys- tic, and Rhode Island pen of White Wyandottes owned by Neale Bross. |, Apponaug, tied for second place with 54 eggs each. A. B. Brundage s Rhode Island Reds of Danbury, Conn. |, and Merrythought Farms White Wy andottes of Columbia, Conn. tied for third place with 53 eggs each.
