ion County Is Marked
Success

The Ninth annual exhibit of the
Marion county Poultry association is
now in full swing at the Derby build.
ing, with large attendance both dur
ing the day and evening not only by
people who are judges of fine birds,
bat by the average citizen who would
like to be informed as what a $25
bird really looks like. There are those
present also who are interested not in
the feathers, but in the laying possi
bilities of different breeds.
Judge j. G. Murray was busy all day
yesterday and is working steady to-
day. scoring and allowing points for
those entered for prizes.
In the Faverolle class, Z. T. Prescott
carried away all the prizes. The big
Faverolle cock was especially admired
This bird carried away first prize at
the poultry show in Portland last
month and was Il second prize winner
at the Panama-Pacific exposition.
But to the average person interested
in poultry, it is not the fine feathers,
so much as the laying possibilities that
interests. The Oregon bird, or as it is
sometimes called, the DRYDEN hen, ex
hibited by the Oregon State hospital
was the great attraction for those who
are interested in a bird with an estab-
lished laying record. This Oregon bird
is only for egg producing and is the re-
suit of experiments by Mr.. Dryden of
the o. A. G. for the past eight years.
They are barred from poultry shows
for prizes as they are egg producers
only. The breeding pens at the asylum
show that in 1915, a rap nest record
of 173 hens, showed a yearly average
of 22l eggs. The general laying stock
averaged last year 1875 eggs each, from
1450 hens. The best individual records
for 1916 of the Oregon bird were 903,
302, 297, 292 and POI eggs.
c. NJ. Wilcox, who has charge of the
hospital poultry will give caponizing
demonstration at the exhibit at 2
O'Clock Friday afternoon.
