HENS SPEED UP
IN sToRRs CONTEST
Yield For 47th Week Was Total of B. 139 Eggs.

For the past IS weeks the hens in
 the laying contest at Storrs have been
 behind last years record and the man
 agement had, in fact, just about I abandoned all hope of equallinx or | bettering the total record in the pre- ceding contest. The yield for the 47th l week, however, is pri1na facie evidence that the funs are not all done They laid a total of 3,1S9 eggs or more than 400 better than for the correspond ing week last year, all of which means ahead of the total record last year and all signs point to continued good production during the remaining few weeks.
 Wyandottes from Trooper, Penn, was hundred to lay more than 50 eggs dur ing the week. Pequot Poultry Farm s Rhode Island Reds from Southport Conn, were second with 4s eggs from Bedding Ridge, Conn.,. were a very close third with 47 and Holliston
 Hill Poultry Farms White Rocks from Holllston. MasE., and Tom Barrron's White Leghons from Satforth, Eng land tied for fourth place with 46 eggs each.
 The details of entering. shipping, assigning to pens. etc, have been nearly completed for next years con test. The really disturbing factor is whether or not the foreign, pens will arrive safely. In other words the submarine menace is troublesome to English poultrymen as well as others. One of the breeders in the Storrs con- test started a pen to Australia three weeks ago but the boat was torpedoed and the birds were lost.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:
