MAKE FINAL SPRINT
 IN STORRS CONTEST
Hens Laid Total of 3472 Eggs During
 Forty second Week.

The hens in the laying contest at Storrs, have made what is perhaps their final sprint for the year. In the forty second week they laid a total of 3472 or an actual gain of nearly 100 eggs as compared with the pre- vious weeks yield. This means that all the hens in the contest, good. bad and indifferent, laid. last week, al the average rate of nearly 50 per cent.
 The five best pens for the week all hail from Connecticut. Clifford I. Stoddards White Leghorns from Woodbridge were an easy first with a yield of 56 eggs Merritt NJ. Clarks Barred Rocks from Brookfie1d Center won second place with a production of 54 eggs. Three pens of Leghorns entered by Windsweep Farm. Bedding Ridge, F. M. Peasley, Cheshire, and Francis F. Lincoln. Mt Carmel, were next in order with yields of 52, 51 and 50 eggs respectively. Thus it can be seen that these five laid 50 per cent. more eggs than the average pen.
 Eight Barred Rocks. one White Rock, four White Wyandottes, seven Rhode Island Reds. three White Orp- ingtons and two White Leghorns or a total of % hens made perfect in dividuals scores for the week by lay ing eggs each. Obviously these are are sort to retain in this season of ultra high prices of feed. Not only and lay through September and well into October are believed to make the very best breeders for the next sea- sons work.

Every Household Should be Re.
g;stered.

Columbia, S. c., October 2 Food
Will Win the Wra:" is the slogan
which has been adopted by the
United States food administration
in the drive to register 100000, 600
Americans in the food saving cause.
The government has called for the
registration of 100000 or more
South Carolinians. The great cam
paign will be held October 81 to 90.
| D, r. Coker, South Carolina food
administrator, has called for the
services of 5000 men of the State to
act as volunteers in registering the
people in the cause which may decide
the war. Three hundred thousand
pledge cards are being printed to be
sent to the county chairman for dis
tribution. Those signing the pledge
cards agree to save food and help
the government. Those joining the
movement will receive valuable food
hints from time to time from the
government.
N. G. Evans, Edgefeld, has been
appointed by Mr.. Coker as chairman
of Edgefeld county. J. L.. Minis
has been selected as publicity cam
paign manager for the county. The
government expects $500 households
to be registered in the county. The
county chairman will peed l13
workers to assist him in registering
all of the people of the county.
I'VE put it over', is the word
that has come from many of the
counties.
A. V. Smell, field agent of the
United States food administration is
now making a tour of the State and
will instruct all county chairmen as
to the details of the pledge card
campaign.
The appeal of the government,
simply. is for the people of South
Carolina to conserve the food supply
and thereby become members of
Hoover's army.
