 The twenty second week of the Third International Egg Laying Con- test at Storrs developed a new high record for the weekly production. There was a net gain of 49 eggs or total yield of 3646 eggs for the week. The English pen of White Wyandottes owned by Tom Barron got first place for the week with yield of 59 eggs. Frank l.. Tuttle's pen of Barred Ply mouth Rocks from Ashland, Mass. were a close second with 58 eggs to their credit. Albert T. Lenzen's White Rocks from North Attleboro were an equally close third with yield of 57 eggs for the week. l w WCOn OA U"O Os3O OAAO OA the competition gave out the chick feeding formulas on which the expert mental pens of Leghorns were reared. It is one of these same pens that last week was tied for second place of all pens in the competition and which at this writing is occupying second place by margin of eight eggs and has total yield of 752 eggs since Nov. 1st These Leghorn bullets were not matched until the last of May, it is likely that very many Leghorn chicks will be matched during he latter part of April and the first of May. These eggs in most cases of course will be matched artifcially. The addition of little moisture is often times bene- ficial. The white of the egg is the thing out of which the chick is made and if this is allowed to evaporate too much not enough is left to make large strong chick. For incubators that are equipped with moisture de vices perhaps one of the simplest methods of supplying additional mois ture is to use a pint cup on the egg tray itself with sponge in it.
