STRIDES IN EGG PRODUCTION
Delaware Station Poultrymen Con
frontsd With Hen Which Lale
314 Eggs In 365 Days.

Not very many years ago the zoo
egg hen made her appearance. She
was not greeted with open arms BY
poultrymen. but was rather considered
to be a freak-an exceptional being
that would not perpetuate her kind.
Her cool reception. however, was no
more than over before the 200-eeg
hen became a common" occurrence.
In the four Missouri egg-laying con-
tests 249 hens Tor 1927 laid 200 eggs
or over. The individual record last
year went to a Buff Wyandotte with
247; in the Connecticut contest, q
Rhode Island Red laid EST eggs In the
same period.
But with the close of the Philadel-
phia-North American contest at the
Delaware station poultrymen are con-
fronted with a hen which laid 314
eggs in 365 days; Oregon hens have
also produced over 800 eggs in a year.
How Is the 300-egg hen being re-
ceived? Almost in the same way as
was the 200-egg hen. Wonderful
strides have been made and will be
made to get high producers. But the
real problem before poultrymen Is TO
perpetuate the egg laying qualities
which have been developed. The 800
egg hen may soon be classed in the
same way that the 200-egg hen was
classed few years ago.
Poultrymen may well be proud Of
what they have accomplished, but
they cannot rest satisfied until they
perpetuate the desired qualities. And
that takes years of experience and
careful selection.-Orange Judd Farm
