TWO NEW RECORDS IN
 sToRRS EGG LAYING. New High Weekly Pen Record-Two Connecticut Penns Pass 1, 1,000 Mark.

The hens in the international egg laying contest at StorrS are continuing the good work. They yielded 91 eggs more than last week or a total of 3.649 teresting developments of the week were, first, the establishment of a new high weekly pen record, and second, two Connecticut pens. viz, White Leg horns owned by Frances F. Lincoln or Mt Carmel, and White Wyandottes owned by Merrythought Farm of Co., lumbia, passed the 1000 egg mark. These two pens are outdistanced at this writing by only the. English pen of White Wyandottes, which have now laid nearly 100 dozen eggs. The best previous weekly pen record was 59 eggs and was established seven weeks ago by a Massachusetts pen of Barred Plymouth: Rocks. As already intlmat- ed, however, this record now goes by the boards and a new high record is set at 61 eggs for the week and was made by the English pen of White Leghorns owned by Tom Barron. A Pennsylvania pen of White Leghorns owned by Marwood Poultry Farm or Butler and a Michigan pen of Buff Leghorns from Grand Rapids owned by Wolverine Poultry Farm tied for second place with 59 eggs each. A Connecticut pen of White Leghorns owned by Windsweep Farm of Bedding Ridge came third for the week with 56 eggs. A pen of White Leghorns own ed by F. G. Platt. Wallingford, Pa, came next with 55 eggs. Following these closely were White Ieghorns owned by Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Car mel. Conn, Mrs. K. F. Woodruff, New Haven, Conn, and Storrs Experiment station, with 54 eggs each.
 Leehorns Showing Strong.
 It will be noted from the above that the LeghoIns are verify coming into their own The eight best pens for the week are all Leghorns. Furthermore, of the g pens that laid 90 eggs or more each for-the week -23 of these or nearly so per cent. were Leghorns, whereas it will be remembered that the Leghorn pens constitute only fl per cent. of the total number of com peting pens. Taking all the Leghorn pens together, they produced 1,715 eggs of the weeks yield, or 47 per cent. Thus any possible gain within the next few weeks or even a holding up of the present high yield must undoubtedly be expected from the lighter breeds. 4
 Further examination of the records SHOWS that there were several changes among the ten leading pens. The pen of English White Leghorns moved from ninth place to seventh, passing on their way a Danbury pen of Rhode Island Reds and New York state pen of Barred Plymouth Rocks. Massa- chnsetts pen of Rhode Island Reds Is now occupying tenth place, displacing pen of the same breed owned by George P. Dearborn, Lake Como, Fla.
 The Brownest Egg.
 Another interesting feature of this 18th week is that what is believed to be the brownest egg laid not only dur ing the present competition but during the past three years was produced by a Rhode Island Red hen owned by w.

The liquor traffic is already banished by law from 70 per cent. of the area of the United States and by ene-half of its population. Well may the liQuer men read the handwriting on the wall.' The speaker closed by saying;
 'sI have had something to do with temperance work for the past twenty five years, but I have never seen pro- gress made at any time as it has been in the last twelve months.

REcLAIMiNG WET LANDS Adding Acre. at Small Expense.
W. H. STEVENSON, Iowa State College of Agriculture.

Iowa State College of Agriculture
 There are yet in nearly all sections of the United States thousands of acres of excellent land which produces nothing of greater value than sedges or wild hay. There are also in this country thousands of farmers who for one reason and another fail to give the drainage problem the attention which it deserves merely as a finan- cial proposition; some are slow to comprehend the value of damage, and some have not learned how to drain. The plant food resources lying dor nrant in ponds and bOgs and sloughs of undrained areas are sufficient to produce great crops of grain and forS age for an indefinite time. Will 1t pay to reclaim wet lands2 Experi- enced farmers state they have never known a case where drainage was feasible and where work was well failed to pay satisfactory profits. In fact, it frequently turns out that re- claimed land, when brought into con dition by thorough working and lim- ing turns out t6 be the best piece on the farm. being filled with humus and rich in plant food.
 A great many questions come up when a landowner decides to drain a given piece of land. These questions relate to the depths of ditches. size of the tile, locations of drains, services of a drainage engineers, and a good many other matters of importance. 6nfor- tunately for the landowner, there are no rules which apply to the installa- ton of all drainage systems. This is ofaten vary widely within a very linn ited area.
 Avoid Mistakes in Filing.
 Filing should. be considered as d per manent improvement. In drainage work single mistake may cause the failure of an entire system. The sur est way to avoid mistakes is to hire a reliable draingage engineer to make surveys and plan the entire system of drainage.
 Great care should be exercised in the selection of tile. Tie should be smooth. straight, uniform in size square cut at the ends and well burn ed. Nitrifield tile should be used for the construction of outlets.
 The depth and distance apart at which drains should be placed for best results cannot be stated definitely In
