INTERNATIONAL
EGC CONTEST:

The Rocks. Wyandottes and Leg
horns all made bid for weekly hon.
ors in theN thirty-fourth week of the
laying contest at Storrs. BY the small
margin of one egg F. M. Peasley's
first place with a yield Of go eggs. A
Hartford pen of Buff Wyandottes en-
Leghorns from Cheshire, Conn, got
tered by Cloyes & Sullivan, and A.
p. Robinsons White Leghorns from
Calverton, N. z, tied for second place
with So eggs each. Fairfield Farms
Barred Rocks from Short Falls, N.

from Uniontown, Pa, tied for third

pens of White Leghorns entered by

tied for fourth position with Sc eggs
each. The total yield for all pens
amounted to 1920 which is 100 lest
than for the preceding week but 14o
more than for the corresponding
week last year.
There is, of course, a point beyond
which hens cannot go in the matter
of laying eggs, Without much ques-.
ton the zenith of production has been
reached Large numbers of the heav-
Ter breeds have been broody and this
always means at least a. temporary
interruption in the egg yield. Fur
thermore some individuals that have
been slackers all along will soon be
shedding their feathers and melting
nearly always means no eggs. Thus
the poultryman's problem is not SO
much how to get more eggs this week
than he did last bur rather to recog-
nize the fact that hens will yield less
eggs from this time on to the end
of the laying season. Good care and
management during the summer
cans that the falling off in yield
should take place gradually instead
of abruptly.
