PENS OF
FOWL ENTERED.


With one hundred pens of birds en-
tered from thirteen different states and
number from England, the fourth an
nual international egg laying contest was
started at the Delaware College Expert
ment Farm last week. The contest will
last one year and is under the auspices
OF Delaware College and the State Board
of Agriculture. Although the contest
started on Sunday, November ! some
few of the entries did not arrive until the
middle of the week.
The location of the farm. which is one
mile from Newark, according to poultry
experts, is an ideal one for such a con-
test, Every possible arrangement for
the contest including the erection of
special houses has been made, and it is
predicted that the hens entered will make
some great records during the year A.
A. Pollard who has managed three other
similar contests, has personal charge of
this one, and visitors are welcomed at all
times. Every pen is numbered, and an
announcement will be made each week
during the contest of the production of
each hen up until that time. The best
known poultry experts in the country
have entered the contest and the breeds
represented includes Barred Plymouth
Rocks, White Plymouth Rocks, Buff
