INTERNATIONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST

The hens in the laying contest ae Storrs continue to gain on the produc- tion for last year, in the ffty-first week they laid 1,525 eggs or relatively 343 more than for the corresponding week year ago. It now seems cer- tain that the average annual yield per hen will be eight eggs better than 1astl year. This means 5000 eggs more for the birds that are engaged in the competition. If this same increase were to obtain with the more than million hens in Connecticut and the poultrymen received for these extra eggs the average price of 30 cents per dozen it would mean an increase of some $20e,OO0 in the gross receipts of the states poultry producers.
 The four best pens for the week were separated each from the other by a small margin of one egg. Tom Barron's White Wyandottes from England were first with a score of A, the Rhode Island Reds of Charles o. Polhemus Newburgh, N. Y., laid 45, Neale Bros. White Wyandottes from Apponaug, R. l., yielded 42, and the Storrs stations, experimental pen Of White Wyandottes laid Al eggs. Seven individuals, namely: Barred Rock No. 45, White No. 75, White WyandOtte No. 134, Rhode Island Reds No. 25S and No. 2Ss, and White Orpingtoa No. SuccSeQ0d scores for the week by laying seven eggs each. This is of course all and even more than can be expected of a. hen at this season of the year when it is remembered that there were liter ally hundreds of hens in the contest that did not lay any eggs at all during the week.
 Ii. now seems improbable that last years individuals record of 265 will be equa1led. With only one week to go Rhode Island Red hen No. 261 and Barred Rock hen No. 59 are running neck in neck, their individual scores being 257 and 258 respectively. Even at this late date there were two changes among the ten leaders. A pen of English wyandottes passed a moving up to fifth place, and two New York pens, Rhode Isand Red hens and White ILeghorns swapped places, the Reds moving from nth place up to eighth.
