EGG PRODUCTION STILL
 AFFECTED BY MouLTING.
Result of 18th Week in Contest at the
 State College.

The 4Sth week of the third annual egg laying contest ended Oct. with a total>of 1867 eggs for the week. This is somewhat lower than the production has been for the prevl- ous weeks, due to the fact of a large number of hens being in their mott
 The first, second and third places for the week, for the total number of eggs per pen, go to the American class of fowls. Tom Barron's White Wyan- dottes won first place with a yield of Al eggs A. B. Brundage's pen Of Rh ode Island Reds won second with yield of 3S eggs, while the third place is tie between A. T. Lenzen's White Rocks and Merrythought Farms White Wyandottes, both pens having yielded 34 eggs for the week. Even in this mo,ting season we have four hens that have laid seven eggs each for the week. These distinguished individuals are: Hen 42, Albert T. Lenzn, North Attic boro, Mass; hen 243, J. S. Gillespie, Stamford, Conn; hen 292, Dr. J. A. Fritchey, Harrisburg, Pa, and hen $50, Colonial Farm, Temple, N. Fl. These four individuals belong to the American class of fowls also.
 The following hens have a total egg record to date of 200 eggs or more. The total number of eggs laid by these 26 hens is over 5 per cent. of the total egg production for the S20 hens in the contest.

SAVE CORN FODDER
Should be Placed Under Cover Early
 in Season.

The price of hay as well as the price of grains is today very high, thus making the cost of feeding the .stock much higher than it is when lower prices prevail. Every effort should be made to conserve as much as the roughages grown on the farm for feed- ing purposes as possible.
 It is not an uncommon sight in mid winter to go through the towns and find great deal of corn fodder which has been grown in the summer left standing where the winds, rains and birds are causing a great deal of de- preciation of the food value of the for age. It is estimated that where COT n fodder remains in the field for two or three months in the winter about 50 per cent. of the feed value of the fod- der is lost. This means that when a farmer produces good crop which averages yield from one to one and one-half tons of corn fodder a great many dollars are lost. Thus, every farmer should if possible get his fod- as possible,

PRICES FOR FARM
 PRODUCTS.

The greatest encouragement that can be given agriculture is profitable prices for farm products. Crop de- stroying insects have been stubborn enemy, and Jupiter Pluvius has played many pranks on the farmer, but there is no pestilence like low prices; they will sap the life blood of an industry.
 It is one of the most pitiful sights in twentieth century civilization to see a farmer after he has raised a crop sit helplessly by and watch the bulls and bears of Europe and America trample over it, and yet if the farmer will only organize and Cooperate he can suc- cesSfully fence out these animals that devastate his products after the har- vest.
 The Connecticut farmer needs CO., operation as badly as diverssfcation.
 The farmer asks no special privileges. The business of farming only wants the same opportunities afforded other lines of industry.

MARKET FRUIT CAREFULLY

by C. D. Jarvis, Extension Director
 and Horticulturalist.
 Connecticut Agricultural College Oct. That there are many farmers who still fail to appreciate the value of careful grading and packing of ap- pies is evident from the condition of the fruit found in most fruit stands and grocery stores. Most samples contain a large proportion of first grade fruit but the presence of a few irregular, off-colored specimens throws the whole lot into a lower grade. Un- iforunity is an item of first importance and yet 1t is the one most commonly overlooked. g A package containing smooth-cIean specimens of various sizes will usually bring a lower price than a. similar package containing uniform specimens of the smaller size. Uniformity of color also should al- ways be considered. Poorly colored specimens when mixed with those of high color suffer from comparison just ae the small specimens do when when mixed with the larger ones. The light colored and the small apples may often bring as high a price as the highly colored, large-sized fruits if packed and sold by them selves.
