White Leghorn hen No. 72S entered
by A. P. Robinson, Calverton, N. Y,
led the entire list for best individual
performance. Not only this but out
of the 1000 hens that have been trap
nested at Storrs during the past five
years this bird is the best, all classes
competing. She finished the year
with 286 eggs to her credit. The best
previous record was made four years
ago by an English Leghorn that laid
282 eggs.
White wyandotte No. 1876 from
Bridgeton, r. l., was second best hen
for the year with 2S1 eggs which
means that she is the best Wyandotte
ever trapnested at Storrs. Over 100
individual hens including Barred,
White and columbian Rocks, Rhode
Island Reds, White and Buff Wyan-
dottes, White and Black Leghorns,
Anconas, Oregons and Rhinelanders
